AI Stocks Made Simple: Why I Wrote This Book and Who It’s For

by David Lewis Wadley (The Price Bandit)

SEC-Accredited Investor

I wrote AI Stocks Made Simple: A Beginner’s Guide to AI Investing and Online Trading for the people who kept telling me the same thing:

“I want to invest in AI and the stock market, but nobody ever explained this stuff in a way I can actually understand.”

This book is my answer to that.

I designed AI Stocks Made Simple for true beginners—people who might be opening a brokerage account for the first time, who hear words like “Nvidia,” “QQQ,” “pre-IPO,” or “crypto” on CNBC and social media, but aren’t sure what to do with that information.

In this book, I walk you through:

  • What artificial intelligence really is—and what makes a stock an “AI stock”

  • The three main types of AI companies:
     

    1. Those that build AI (software and models)

    2. Those that power AI (chips, data centers, cloud)

    3. Those that use AI to run better businesses

  • How to open an online trading account, deposit money safely, and buy your first stock

  • How much to invest, how often to invest, and how to avoid risking money you actually need

I show you simple, beginner-friendly strategies like buy-and-hold, dollar-cost averaging, and keeping a small, focused portfolio, because you don’t need complexity to build wealth—you need consistency and calm.

You’ll also learn:

  • How to pick good AI stocks you actually understand

  • Why watching CNBC every day (even 10–15 minutes) is like getting a free investing class

  • How to think about major AI sectors: chips, cloud computing, software, robotics, data & cybersecurity

  • Why data centers are the hidden backbone of the AI Revolution—and how utilities, copper, servers, cooling, and REITs all fit into that story

For readers who prefer a simple, diversified approach, I break down top AI ETFs such as:

  • QQQ, VOO, SOXX, SMH, BOTZ, ROBO, WCLD

so you can own baskets of leading AI companies without having to pick individual stocks.

Because the modern investor’s world is bigger than just stocks, I also include clear, beginner-level introductions to:

  • Crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana)

  • Pre-IPO investing using platforms like Hiive

  • TrumpRx, major pharmaceutical stocks (Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, AstraZeneca)

  • Leading cannabis companies, including Curaleaf and others

Everything is written in plain language, so you can read it straight through without feeling lost or talked down to.

What makes this book different is the mindset behind it.

I’m not just teaching charts and tickers. I’m trying to build a bridge between culture and capital. That’s why I created Stock Soul—a blend of classic R&B vibes and financial wisdom. Just like soul music carried emotion, memory, and history, I want this book and my music videos to carry confidence, clarity, and long-term vision into your financial life.

If you’ve ever thought:

  • “I wish someone would just explain AI investing to me clearly.”

  • “I’m tired of feeling left out of the stock market.”

  • “I see AI everywhere, but I don’t know how to benefit from it.”

then AI Stocks Made Simple is my way of sitting down next to you and saying, “Let’s walk through this—calmly, step by step.”

You don’t need a finance degree.
You don’t need to start with a lot of money.
You just need a guide, a plan, and the courage to begin.

Soulful Vibes for Financial Minds

David L. Wadley—award-winning author of The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised—is the creator of the groundbreaking music genre Stock Soul. Drawing on the sound-editing and mixing expertise he honed as a Hollywood supervising sound editor and independent filmmaker, Wadley has produced and edited hundreds of music videos as a YouTube influencer known as The Price Bandit, earning millions of views. Stock Soul is his signature sonic fusion, blending the timeless artistry of classic rhythm and blues with a fresh, modern awareness of financial culture.

Stock Soul is a transformative blend of the emotional richness of classic R&B and soul with the principles of financial literacy, wealth-building wisdom, and stock-market storytelling. Rooted in warm harmonies, smooth vocals, and groove-heavy instrumentation, Stock Soul turns investing concepts into relatable themes, uplifting narratives, and soul-inspired metaphors.

In this genre, love songs move with the rhythm of market swings, empowerment anthems teach the value of ownership and assets, and slow jams explore the emotional side of financial journeys. Stock Soul isn’t just music — it’s a lifestyle: a soundtrack for people pursuing generational wealth, emotional growth, and a deeper connection between heart and hustle.

David L. Wadley is an award-winning author and SEC-accredited investor whose work explores the intersections of technology, economics, and African American empowerment. He is the creator of The AI Revolution: African American Trilogy, which comprises The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Passport Bro, and Bulls, Bears, and Bad Bitches. The first volume, The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised, received the Literary Titan Gold Book Award and was named a Finalist for the Readers’ Favorite International Book Award

Blending narrative fiction with practical financial guidance, the text seeks to advance financial literacy among Black women by situating wealth-building strategies within a broader cultural and historical framework.

The recognition of Wadley’s work on April 4, 2025, carries symbolic significance, coinciding with the fifty-seventh anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination. Wadley argues that King’s death was linked not only to his leadership in the civil rights movement but also to his efforts to launch the Poor People’s Campaign, which aimed to confront systemic economic inequality.

For Wadley, King’s unfinished project finds contemporary resonance in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where individuals can honor his legacy by embracing self-directed investment, particularly in artificial intelligence markets, as a pathway toward financial independence and collective empowerment.
