Michele Schneider, Chief Market Strategist at MarketGauge.com, discusses her top stock picks for 2025. The strategist joins Morning Brief hosts Brad Smith and Brian Sozzi to highlight favorites, including Rivian (RIVN) and Salesforce (CRM). Schneider predicts Salesforce's current stock price of $360 can grow to $500, noting its focus on AI advancement. "...So they're really focusing now on increasing AI in terms of how they deliver to customers, marketing, sales," Schneider says. "And that means to me that right now, if you look at the chart of that stock, which is pretty hot at around $360, I see no reason why it can't go to $500," she adds. Schneider also shares interest in Rivian, addressing its marketing, customer satisfaction, and access to Tesla’s charging stations.  Watch the video above to hear Schneider's take on cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin (BTC-USD) and XRP (XRP-USD).
