Every week, host and Zacks stock strategist, Tracey Ryniec, will be joined by guests to discuss the hottest investing topics in stocks, bonds, and ETFs and how it impacts your life.
This week, Tracey is joined by Zacks Small Cap Analyst, Mark Zinski, to talk about 2 small cap companies that are involved in the AI Revolution.
Unlike the last time Mark was on the podcast, this week's stocks are not in the health care sector but are in technology services.
The large cap companies aren't the only way to play AI. There will be opportunities for many small companies as well. But investors will have to do their research to find them.
Tracey and Mark are here to share 2 stocks this week.
