WallStreetBets Picks: Best and Worst

This week, we dust off the crystal ball to deliver a "big banger" of an episode entirely focused on predictions for 2026. From the AI revolution to the future of the Magnificent Seven, we're putting our reputations on the line.

In this episode:

🤖 AI's Next Big Move: We debate which industries will benefit most from AI adoption, with a focus on manufacturing, logistics, and the surprise contender: insurance.

📉 Mag 7 Shakeup: A controversial take on why Apple might lose its dominant position by 2030.

🔮 The 2026 Crypto & Commodity Play: A heated debate on where to park value—will it be Uranium, Gold, or is Bitcoin destined to crush Silver?

🦁 WallStreetBets vs. The Wildlife: We review a Reddit poll on the "Best Stock of 2026" and give our verdict on their top picks, including ASTS and Reddit itself.

🚀 Portfolio Wars: Which of our personal holdings will see the biggest gains? We make the bull case for Rocket Lab, UiPath, and Coherus.

🛰️ The Space Race: Will ASTS make a commercial call before Starlink? Plus, will Rocket Lab's Neutron finally reach orbit?

🎰 Vegas Bound: Details on the upcoming Wall Street Wildlife Patreon meetup in Las Vegas!
