Weekend Player subscribers more than tripled their investments with our RTX Corp (NYSE:RTX) August 95 call recommendation. Let's unpack the reasoning behind this winning bet below.

At the time of our recommendation on Sunday, March 17, the equity basted a 23.6% six-month lead, outpacing the S&P 500 Index (SPX). Additionally, we knew from the defense company's fiscal fourth-quarter report that it had $4.7 billion in operating cash flow, $3.9 billion in free cash flow, and a $196 billion backlog. RTX had also repurchased $10.3 billion in shares.

Nevertheless, analysts still leaned bearish, with 15 calling the stock a "hold" or worse, while the remaining five said "buy." The options pits echoed that pessimism, per RTX's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) that sat in the 87th percentile of annual readings.

It all hanged after the company surpassed fiscal first-quarter earnings and revenue expectations amid demand for missile defense systems, which earned the stock a few price-target hikes. With support from the 20-day moving average, our traders rode this rally until the previous session, when they closed their positions after RTX nabbed a record high of $107.81. While the stock is flat today, our traders already pocketed a 207% profit.

Yet, these strange investments could be the early ripples of a massive wave …Without them, ChatGPT could stop operating … Amazon, Google, Microsoft and more could see profits drop drastically.

In fact, Elon Musk says these investments are critical when it comes to solving the number one problem facing AI.

Now, Silicon Valley legend Michael Robinson has identified two companies that could play a significant role in the solution.
