Very little love for ACI Worldwide.

AI and Google: Do the pros outweigh the cons
Google has benefited from AI in many ways; it's led to about 24 credible moonshot businesses, including Waymo, Wing, drug discovery, and many more. However, its core business is search, which is under some threat. I know I use Google less than I used to. Does anyone else find themselves …

Right now it feels like everyone is buying the same things: tech stocks, semiconductors, “AI stocks,” Nasdaq 100, QQQ. And at the same time, the Nasdaq 100 is trading around 30x earnings, while the S&P 500 CAPE ratio is getting close to 40. Both are historically expensive. You basically have …
