It’s not a complicated idea, but it’s one that most investors never grasp:
Every great wave of capital in history flows through a very small number of
inescapable chokepoints…
Companies so perfectly positioned, so structurally embedded in what the world
needs, that trillions of dollars have almost no choice but to pass through them.
I think of them like tollbooths on a highway.
And it is the driving force behind the most lucrative opportunities we’ve
shared over the last three decades.
In 1999, we recommended Qualcomm at $4 a share. Perhaps the ultimate example
of the tollbooth principle, Qualcomm owned the patents on the wireless standard
that practically every device on earth would have to use.
It didn't matter who won the handset wars, everyone paid Qualcomm's toll.
The stock went on to climb more than 6,000%.
That same year we recommended Adobe at $7. Not a mere software company,
another toll road.
Every piece of digital content created in America had to pass through Adobe's
tools. That’s up more than 3,000%.
In 2002, it was Regeneron at $13. Not just a drug company, but a drug
discovery platform. The chokepoint in an industry about to explode. It’s
climbed over 4,500% since.
In 2012, we uncovered Cheniere Energy at $15. America was about to become the
world's dominant energy exporter and Cheniere owned the only operating LNG
export terminal in the country. It’s up over 1,600%.
In 2016, we identified Shopify at less than $3.
We understood this was more than a tool for online commerce - it was the
financial infrastructure layer every small business would need to reach the
internet economy. Up over 4,000%.
In each case, the thesis was the same: identify the money migration, find the
tollbooth, get there before the traffic arrives… and wait.
I’m here today because that same scenario is playing out again

- and on a completely new, mindbending scale.
The $85 Trillion Highway
Meta, Google, Amazon and Microsoft alone committed more than $400 billion to
AI data center construction in 2025.
In 2026, that figure is expected to hit $650 billion.
That’s more capital expenditure than the Apollo program.
More than the interstate highway system.
More, even, than the entire buildout of the American railroad network in the
19th century.
<[link removed]>
And it is happening ten times faster.
BlackRock calls it "one of the largest infrastructure expansions in modern
history, with up to an estimated $85 trillion in global investment needed over
the next 15 years."
But here is what makes this moment different from any capex migration I have
encountered in my career:
This highway is not being built by the private sector alone. It is being
catalyzeddeliberately, urgently, and at an extraordinary scale
<[link removed]>
from the highest office in the land.
President Trump has declared securing the physical foundations of artificial
intelligence a matter of national security.
He’s summoned the most powerful CEOs and investors in America to the White
House - Sam Altman, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos - and mobilized
their capital in a single direction: the AI highway.
The UAE alone has committed $1.3 trillion to American AI infrastructure.
Trump secured half a trillion dollars in strategic minerals from Ukraine. He
has threatened 100% tariffs on Taiwanese semiconductors - practically forcing
TSMC to commit $250 billion to U.S. manufacturing and relocate 40% of its chip
supply chain to American soil.
And for the first time in peacetime American history, the U.S. government has
taken direct equity stakes in private mining companies like MP Materials, USA
Rare Earth, Lithium Americas, Trilogy Metals - stocks that surged when the news
hit.
This is what mobilization looks like.
The White House and private industry moving in lockstep, exactly as they did
in 1941 when FDR drafted General Motors to build tanks and Boeing to build
bombers.
Except this time, it isn't steel and rubber. It is the physical foundation
that makes artificial intelligence possible at scale.
In my view, what’s being orchestrated is bigger than a tech trend or even an
industrial shift. It’sa complete reset of the existing American financial
landscape and monetary order.

So vast in scope, I believe it will impact every dollar you have invested.
Already, the companies sitting at its chokepoints are beginning to move.
Vertiv, which builds the cooling and power systems that keep AI data centers
from overheating - up more than 500% since 2024.
GE Vernova, a grid infrastructure and electrification systems for AI - up
almost 700% since listing in early 2024.
Arista Networks, the high-speed networking backbone connecting AI data centers
- up more than 750% since 2021.
And I believe we are only at the very beginning.
Which Tollbooth Stocks Could Be Next To Surge?
My team and I have spent months identifying the five companies we believe sit
at the narrowest, most inescapable chokepoints of the AI highway - businesses
with the kind of structural advantages that come along perhaps once in a decade.
Let me give you a glimpse of three of them.
* The Next Qualcomm Everyone knows Nvidia makes the chips that run the AI
revolution. What almost nobody knows is that Nvidia's most advanced processors
are useless without a power delivery system so specialized, so technically
demanding, that only one company in America has cracked how to build it at
scale.
This company patented a proprietary architecture a decade ago that is now the
only commercially proven solution to the power density problem choking the AI
buildout.
It doesn't matter which hyperscaler wins the data center arms race - every
winner has to solve this problem. And there is only one proven solution.
In February, the U.S. government imposed 100% tariffs on competing systems
made in China. This company makes everything in Massachusetts.
Its backlog has surged 70% in a single quarter. I think of it as the Qualcomm
of the AI power stack.
* Resource Royalty AI at scale relies on untold tons of specific minerals
like copper, silver, rare earth metals - pulled from the ground and refined at
enormous cost and risk. One company has found a way to own the upside of that
extraction without bearing a single dollar of operational risk.
It owns royalty streams on silver, copper and gold assets across four
continents. In 2024 it generated $12 million in revenue. By 2028 our analysts
believe that figure could approach $300 million, without the company spending a
cent on mine development.
This is the Franco-Nevada model, but at the very beginning of its compounding
curve.
* The Gods Of Gas Natural gas is the fuel the AI revolution actually runs
on. Not solar. Not wind. Not nuclear (not yet).
One American company produces approximately 6% of all the natural gas in the
United States, at the lowest cost of any producer in the country.
It has already generated $1 billion in free cash flow in a single month. As
data center energy demand doubles, then doubles again, virtually every
incremental dollar of rising gas prices flows straight to this company's bottom
line.

I urge you to pay attention to what’s unfolding.
Because the AI highway is being built whether you are positioned to benefit
from it or not. The capital is already moving. The tollbooths are already
collecting. The entire financial system is being re-ordered around it (
including the dollar in your pocket
<[link removed]>
).
The only question is whether you own a piece of it before the rest of the
market figures out what is happening… or after.
