Can't Buy the Next Big AI IPO Yet? Watch These 3 Stocks.
Wall Street is preparing for what could become one of the biggest AI IPOs in history. But ordinary investors may have to wait until shares begin publicly trading to participate directly.
Meanwhile, three publicly traded companies could offer exposure to the AI infrastructure and investment boom surrounding Anthropic. Two are familiar names. The third is a lesser-known company that many investors haven't connected to the story.
A new, free briefing reveals all three tickers, potential entry prices, and a bonus fourth company holding thousands of patents tied to the AI race.

Silver Has Beaten Gold Before. It's Doing It Again.
From 1974 to 1987, silver more than doubled gold's returns. After 2008, it beat gold five-fold in three years. Since March 2020, silver is up 402% against gold's 186%. Our research team's free playbook explains why, and how the team would position.
Marquette Senior's Assistive-Robotics Research Earns International Spotlight

A Marquette High senior is preparing to share his research on an international stage. Ananthaa Madhavan has been selected to present at the IEEE BigData 2026 High School Symposium, scheduled for December 14–17 in Phoenix, Arizona. His research grew out of a summer internship at Saint Louis University's Mecharithm Lab through the Rockwood Partners in Education program. The project explores how machine learning can recognize hand movements using incomplete three-dimensional data captured by a single camera, with potential applications in assistive robotics.
Madhavan processed more than 1,100 videos while testing different models, with his best model reaching approximately 94% accuracy across more than 1,000 test trials. His interest in assistive technology was inspired in part by volunteering at Camp Independence, a therapeutic recreation camp for children with cerebral palsy. There, he saw how technology such as a wheelchair-mounted robotic arm could help people with everyday activities. Madhavan hopes to study biomedical engineering and continue exploring technology that supports greater independence.
WashU Student Turns a Campus Need into a Textured-Hair Care Venture

Washington University senior Zariah Taylor has turned a personal campus challenge into an entrepreneurial venture. Taylor is the founder of TheHairVault, an on-campus vending machine offering 50 products for textured hair. The idea came from her own experience as a first-year student who struggled to find suitable hair-care products on campus. After identifying a need among students, she developed a way to make those products more convenient to access.
Mentorship also played an important role in bringing the idea to life. Family friend Tam King-Krolik, owner of Lake St. Louis Beauty Supply, helped Taylor make connections and identify product sources while encouraging her to build the business herself. Since TheHairVault opened in September, Taylor has received positive feedback from students and alumni, including people attending colleges outside Missouri. She hopes to expand the concept to other universities and institutions throughout the state.

A long-vacant property in North St. Louis County is set for a major new chapter. McBride Homes has signed an agreement with the St. Louis County Port Authority to serve as master developer of the former Jamestown Mall property, a site covering approximately 144 acres. Plans call for more than 700 new homes, along with neighborhood retail and a grocery store. The redevelopment is intended to create a mixed-use community where residents can live closer to everyday shopping, dining, and other services.
The plans also include approximately 38 acres dedicated to community amenities, including restaurants, retail, and space for family-oriented activities. McBride Homes expects to build roughly 70 homes per year over an estimated eight-year period. The completed development is projected to bring more than 2,000 residents to the area. The announcement marks a significant step toward reimagining a property that has remained vacant since the mall closed in 2014.
