Man, these tech stocks could dominate the next decade, and I’m sitting here in my freezing basement in Columbus, Ohio, wearing two hoodies because the furnace is acting up again, finally admitting I might actually know what I’m talking about this time. Like, seriously – I got absolutely torched in 2022 when everything crashed, lost a chunk of money I’d saved from driving Uber on weekends, and swore I’d never touch individual stocks again. But here I am, December 2025, sipping burnt coffee from yesterday, staring at my screens, and yeah… some of these tech stocks could genuinely dominate the next decade. Anyway, let’s talk about the ones I’m actually putting my money into now.
Why I’m Even Betting on Tech Stocks That Could Dominate the Next Decade Again
Look, I know I sound like a hypocrite. Last bear market I was ranting to my buddy over wings about how tech was dead, how we’d never see those highs again. I even sold my NVIDIA at like $120 split-adjusted because I panicked – embarrassing, right? But driving past all these new data centers popping up outside town, smelling that fresh concrete and hearing the constant hum of generators… it hit me. The build-out is real. AI isn’t going away. So yeah, these tech stocks could dominate the next decade because the infrastructure is literally being poured right now.
The Semiconductor Players I Think Could Dominate the Next Decade
NVIDIA (NVDA) – okay, hear me out. I know everyone’s sick of hearing about them, but their CUDA moat is insane, and with Blackwell ramping, they’re basically the picks-and-shovels for AI. I started buying again in early 2024 when it dipped, and my hands were literally shaking hitting “execute” because of the PTSD from selling too early last time.
Then there’s TSMC (TSM). Taiwan worries keep me up at night – no joke, I check the Straits news before coffee some mornings – but they’re so far ahead on process nodes that everyone needs them. ASML too, the Dutch lithography kings. These three feel like the foundation if any tech stocks are gonna dominate the next decade.
Cloud and AI Application Stocks That Might Actually Dominate the Next Decade
I work with a guy whose startup runs entirely on AWS, and their bills are obscene… which is great for shareholders. Palantir (PLTR) is my wild card – I first bought during the 2021 meme frenzy (dumb), sold at a loss, then quietly built a position again because their government contracts feel sticky as hell.
The Long-Shot Tech Stocks I Think Could Dominate the Next Decade
This is where I get nervous sharing, because if I’m wrong again I’ll look like an idiot twice. But quantum computing – IonQ (IONQ) and Rigetti (RGTI) – the tech actually feels like it’s crossing from science project to something real. I don’t understand half the papers, but when I saw the error correction breakthroughs this year, something clicked. Also keeping a tiny sliver in AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) because satellite direct-to-phone could change everything in rural areas like where my parents live – no more dead zones when Mom calls from the farm.
- Bought my first IonQ shares while sitting in a McDonald’s parking lot eating fries because the Wi-Fi at home was out
- Still check the positions way too often, like every hour some days
My Biggest Mistakes So Far (So You Don’t Repeat Them)
Sold too early – always. Thought I was smart timing the market in 2022, ended up missing the entire recovery. Also chased hype on companies with no revenue (looking at you, every AI startup that announced vaporware). Now I just stick to companies actually shipping products and making money, even if the valuations make my eyes water.
Wrapping This Up From My Cold Basement
Honestly, these tech stocks could dominate the next decade or I could be completely wrong again – wouldn’t be the first time. But after getting humbled pretty hard, I’m focusing on companies building the actual infrastructure for AI and whatever comes next. The world isn’t slowing down, even if my furnace is.
If you’re thinking about this stuff too, maybe start small, do your own digging (check out Morningstar or SEC filings – I read way too many 10-Ks now), and definitely don’t bet money you can’t afford to lose. I learned that the hard way eating ramen for a month in 2023.
What do you think – am I finally onto something, or still the same idiot? Drop your thoughts below, seriously. And if you’re in Ohio and want to grab coffee and argue about stocks, hit me up. Anyway, stay warm out there.
