Trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio said he has spent the past six months systematically studying AI stocks as a new asset class, a shift that exposed him to what he described as one of the largest volatility events in stock market history. Writing on his personal channel on Sept. 9, Eugene said the experience felt similar to entering crypto in 2021, though he now sees equity markets as more difficult to trade because they involve more moving parts and a broader set of stakeholders.
He said some trading patterns still work in stocks, but the edge is weaker than in crypto. In his view, crypto remains closer to a relatively self-contained sandbox, while stocks are shaped by a wider range of external factors. Even so, he said he does not regret moving into AI-related equities.
Eugene argued that AI is still in an early, fast-developing phase and that the sector offers many opportunities despite a steep learning curve. For speculators, he said, achieving a 10x increase in net worth through tech stocks may now be easier than through cryptocurrencies. He added that this dynamic could continue over the next three years as markets move toward ASI, or artificial superintelligence. He also said AI semiconductor names appear to be starting another uptrend, with a potential Anthropic IPO and subsequent model releases serving as possible catalysts.
Trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio said he has spent the past six months systematically learning how to trade AI stocks, describing the asset class as new territory and saying the process gave him a fresh set of lessons after he lived through one of the biggest volatility events in stock market history.
In a post on his personal channel on Sept. 9, Eugene said the experience reminded him of entering crypto in 2021. He wrote that while trading edge in equities is clearly weaker than in crypto, he does not regret the decision to move into AI stocks.
Stocks are harder to trade than crypto, he said
Eugene said some trading setups still carry over to equities. Even so, he argued that stock markets are harder to handle overall because they involve more factors and more stakeholders. By comparison, he described crypto as a relatively self-contained "sandbox."
He sees AI as an early-stage opportunity
He said AI is still in the early phase of rapid development, with many opportunities across the sector and a steep learning curve for participants. For speculators, Eugene said it may now be easier to grow personal net worth by 10x through tech stocks than through crypto investments. He added that this could remain the case over the next three years as markets gradually move toward ASI, or artificial superintelligence.
AI semiconductor names and Anthropic are on his watchlist
Eugene also said that, in the end, picking the right arena matters more than relative trading edge. He said the AI semiconductor sector is starting a new leg higher, and that an Anthropic IPO, along with later model releases, could act as important catalysts. He added that he is watching for the next round of market volatility.
