Let's go.
The DeepSeek Lesson (60 seconds)
January 27, 2025. Nvidia lost $589 billion in a single day.
A Chinese AI startup released a paper. Headlines screamed "AI is dead." Retail investors panic-sold everything.
Here's what happened to investors who held:
Stock | Jan 27, 2025 | Jan 5, 2026 | Gain |
$MU | $91.11 | $285.39 | +213% |
$AVGO | $202.13 | $346.10 | +71% |
$ASML | $683.62 | $1,069.86 | +57% |
$NVDA | $118.39 | $186.50 | +58% |
Congrats to everyone who held through the panic. Seriously. That took conviction.
The lesson: Panic creates opportunity. Headlines lie. Infrastructure wins.
But here's the question nobody's asking...
What's the NEXT Micron?
The DeepSeek panic created millionaires.
Not because they were lucky. Because they had a shopping list ready when everyone else was selling.
So what's sitting at BuyTrigger right now?
While everyone celebrates last year's winners, these 7 stocks are trading at or below their BuyTrigger levels. Same quality. Better prices. Real opportunity.
The 7 Stocks at BuyTrigger Now
1. $NVDA — Nvidia
The stock that lost $589B in a day? It's back in the value zone.
Fresh catalyst (January 2026):
Jensen Huang just announced the Vera Rubin platform at CES — next-gen AI infrastructure shipping H2 2026. Blackwell hit $11 billion revenue in Q4, crushing the $5-9B estimate. Data center revenue up 93% YoY.

Everyone's looking in the rearview mirror. The smart money is accumulating Nvidia at a discount.
2. $META — Meta
The most profitable AI company nobody talks about anymore.
Fresh catalyst (January 2026):
Meta now runs 1.3 million GPUs with $70-72B in AI capex for 2025 — and 2026 will be "notably larger." AI-driven advertising is targeting "near full automation" by 2026. Q4 earnings drop January 28.

While everyone debates the metaverse, Meta is quietly becoming an AI infrastructure giant.
3. $AMZN — Amazon
AWS is the backbone of enterprise AI. The stock is cheaper than it was 6 months ago.
Fresh catalyst (January 2026):
Trainium3 UltraServer launched at re:Invent — 4x faster, 30-40% cheaper than alternatives. Project Rainier is deploying 500K+ chips for Anthropic. AWS growth is accelerating to 30%+ in 2026.

Amazon is building the AI infrastructure that doesn't require Nvidia. That's a hedge worth owning.
4. $UBER — Uber
The robotaxi aggregator play. They don't need to build the tech — just aggregate the demand.
Fresh catalyst (January 2026):
Uber just revealed their production robotaxi at CES with Lucid and Nuro. San Francisco launch late 2026. Committed to 20,000 vehicles over 6 years. Plus Waymo partnerships, Baidu London test in H2, and Wayve investments.

Uber's multi-partner strategy means they win regardless of who builds the best self-driving tech.
5. $VRT — Vertiv
Every AI data center needs cooling and power distribution. Vertiv provides both.
Fresh catalyst (January 2026):
CoolPhase Flex just launched — first hybrid system that handles both air AND liquid cooling in one unit. Q3 earnings beat estimates by 25%. Management says liquid cooling orders are "jumping."

Q4 earnings coming late January — watch for 2026 guidance.
6. $TSM — Taiwan Semiconductor
Makes the chips for Nvidia, AMD, Apple, and everyone else.
Fresh catalyst (January 2026):
2nm production started 6 months ahead of schedule. Q4 profit up 57% YoY. Goldman Sachs just raised their target by 35%. Capacity is completely booked through 2026.

The picks and shovels of the AI revolution — and they can't make chips fast enough.
7. $EQT — EQT Corporation
Natural gas will power 50-60% of new data center capacity through 2030.
Fresh catalyst (January 2026):
Just signed a deal to supply 800 million cubic feet per day to the Shippingport Power Station — a 3-5 gigawatt data center project in Pennsylvania. EQT projects 6-7 Bcf/d of incremental demand from data centers alone by 2030.

AI needs power. EQT is signing the contracts.
The Framework: Stop Chasing, Start Hunting
This is what separates investors from gamblers.
Gamblers chase stocks that already ran 200%.
Investors wait for quality stocks to hit their BuyTrigger — then buy systematically.
The DeepSeek panic created millionaires because some investors had a shopping list ready. They knew what they wanted to own and at what price.
The next panic is coming. Could be China, could be regulation, could be something we can't predict.
When it happens, will you have your list ready?
