Microsoft’s $282,000 AI Secret...

Is this a MASSIVE “Tell?” Published By Money & Markets, LLC. May 07, 2024 Published By Money & Markets, LLC. May 07, 2024 [Turn Your Images On] [Turn Your Images On] From The Desk of [Adam O'Dell]( Editor, [Money & Markets Daily]( Microsoft’s $282,000 AI Secret… Money & Markets Daily, I’ve got something of a puzzle for you today… It involves a job listing — from none other than tech juggernaut Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT). No, I’m not planning on going anywhere. But when it comes to investing research, no public data is really “out of bounds” for my team… We’ll scour everything from press releases and quarterly updates to third-party analysis and, yes, even job listings. In this case, I’ve found a listing that speaks volumes about MSFT’s future in tech. First, have a look for yourself and see if anything seems out of place. Take a few minutes and really look it over if you like: [Turn Your Images On] [(Click here to view larger image.)]( Notice anything out of place? Specifically — why is Microsoft willing to shell out $282,000 per year for an energy executive? [Turn Your Images On] After all, isn’t this a company that specializes in hardware and software … not power generation and transmission? Why does a high-tech company like Microsoft need someone who’s got “experience in the energy industry and regulatory affairs?” The answer to these questions isn’t so farfetched. Especially for those who understand what’s going on right now in the world of Big Data and AI… --------------------------------------------------------------- [Turn Your Images On]( [How to Profit from AI’s Biggest Pitfall]( On May 9 at 1 p.m. ET, Adam O’Dell is revealing AI’s biggest challenge … and how to target a potential 10X windfall in 12 months with the one company in a position to fix it.

In 2022, the internet soaked up more than 800 terawatts of electricity, according to a study from Thunder Said Energy. And we're not slowing down. Another study projects the IT industry will use up 20% of the world’s power by 2025. That means the internet will soon use the same amount of energy used by India, the world’s most populous country with 1.4 billion residents. A substantial portion of that power is consumed by massive “data centers” used to back up the cloud. And sure enough — MSFT controls 20% of America’s data centers. These data centers are a crucial part of the company’s business model, too — contributing more than $31 billion in quarterly revenue to MSFT. That’s why Microsoft is paying top dollar to get new energy projects off the ground. If it can reduce energy consumption or cost by even just a few percent, it could be worth billions of dollars to the tech giant. Google is already diving into similar projects… And other tech leaders, such as Meta and Palantir, are bound to follow. Of course, this isn’t just about saving a few dollars on the data centers of today. It’s also about controlling one of the most critical resources for the next phase of the AI revolution… --------------------------------------------------------------- [Turn Your Images On]( [$25 Stock to Fuel the AI Market Boom of 2024]( One secretive company’s new technology is poised to disrupt the AI market — a market that is projected to grow from roughly $500 billion to $200 trillion.

Altman’s forward-looking genius (as Matt [touched on]( yesterday) makes him a natural spokesperson for the fast-growing AI industry. But in a recent interview, Altman cautioned investors: I think we still don’t appreciate the energy needs of this technology. He’s not alone, either. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects AI research will have a massive impact on existing data centers and power grids. It added that by 2026, just a few years into its infancy, AI research and development will consume as much electricity as the entire nation of Japan. That’s why I’m hosting my “AI Power Summit” this Thursday, May 9 at 1 p.m. ET. During this special video event, I’ll share an unedited deep dive into some of the cutting-edge technologies and investments that could soon fuel the next phase of the AI revolution.

We know that pandemic stimulus programs fueled higher prices. However, inflation data has been stronger than expected in recent months. The reason for that is more government spending. From the campaign trail, we regularly hear about green economy incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act and tech sector payouts in the CHIPS and Science Act. These laws are working as intended and have increased spending in manufacturing. The chart below shows the increased amount spent on constructing manufacturing facilities. The billions spent to build buildings on top of the billions borrowed to fund those incentives is inflationary. The spending surge shows no signs of topping, which points to more inflation on the horizon. — Mike Carr, Chief Market Technician, Money & Markets [Turn Your Images On] [(Click here to view larger image.)]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Check Out More From Money & Markets Daily: - [THE KING OF AI IS AHEAD OF THE GAME … AGAIN]( - [1 AI STOCK FOR 2024 + 1 FOR THE FUTURE]( - [MY NO. 1 INDICATOR AMID RED-HOT TECH EARNINGS]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [Turn Your Images On]( Privacy Policy The Money & Markets, P.O.
