The shares of cable TV company MSG Networks Inc (NYSE:MSGN) are lower this morning, following a downgrade from Guggenheim to "sell" from neutral." The brokerage firm maintained its $15 price target -- a 19% discount to last night's close -- and said it foresees a challenged position for the entertainment name amid upcoming contract renewals with Altice USA (ATUS) and Comcast (CMCSA), which make up 40% of MSGN's subscriber base. The stock is down 5.3% at last check, to trade at $17.50.

A bear note from Guggenheim isn't the only thing creating headwinds from MSGN. The stock recently ran up to its 140-day moving average, which also acted as a ceiling on the charts earlier this year. And while the security has managed a roughly 34% gain off its late-August six-year lows with a little help from a massive bull gap later that same month, the stock is still down 25% for the year. 

The brokerage's bear note is in good company, though. Prior to today, five of the six analysts in coverage called MSG Networks a "hold" or worse. Plus, the consensus 12-month target price of $17.86 is a slight discount to last night's close. 

Short sellers are likely celebrating today's dip. While short interest dropped 21.9% in the last reporting period, the 14.47 million shares sold short represent 32.3% of the stock's available float, or over two weeks of trading at MSGN's average pace.

Yet, these strange investments could be the early ripples of a massive wave …Without them, ChatGPT could stop operating … Amazon, Google, Microsoft and more could see profits drop drastically.

In fact, Elon Musk says these investments are critical when it comes to solving the number one problem facing AI.

Now, Silicon Valley legend Michael Robinson has identified two companies that could play a significant role in the solution.

Their stocks just may be the key to AI 2.0.
