Today I added Salesforce from my 5 Next Big Things Special Report to my Jubak’s Picks portfolio

At this point in the AI cycle I’d like to own shares of companies providing AI solutions in relatively “easy” data universes. (Nothing as complex as voice recognition for an interface with a diverse customer universe under uncontrolled environmental conditions. Like a family in a car at a McDonald’s drive-through.)
