3. Oracle Benefits From Cloud Boom

Microreactor technology has huge potential to help solve our global energy demands. It's also very early days of this developing technology. Oklo (NYSE:OKLO), along with NuScale Power (NYSE:SMR), is a poster child for the nuclear power renaissance so I'm watching it. It would fit only for the most aggressive and extra-long-term-focused investors, although right now I think it has a ton of momentum traders riding the wave. I'm bullish on nuclear energy and believe there will be more than a few winners to emerge over the next decade. At this point, I would look more toward the likes of BWX Technologies (NYSE:BWXT) or Constellation Energy (NASDAQ:CEG) or Amentum (NYSE:AMTM) as they are more proven and stable. Let some of the enthusiasm dissipate in Oklo (and SMR), and even then only as a smaller, aggressive, speculative position as it finds its operational and business model footing (which will still take years).
