Product placement
Amazon (AMZN) ACTS - it dominates online shopping, runs AWS, and expands into new industries. Removing it would change the video's argument. Google (GOOG) ACTS - it owns products used by billions, dominates online search and digital ads, has a cloud business, and invests in AI. Removing it would change the video's argument. Gold (GLD) ACTS - it provides exposure to gold as a hedge against inflation, currency weakness, and market uncertainty. Removing it would change the video's argument.
