Your portfolio deserves a partner that never sleeps.

The market moves 24/7. Every second, millions of data points move through global financial markets. No human, no matter how intelligent or educated they are, can track it all in real-time. AI can. It can change everything about the way you invest.

For over a year, I’ve tested different methods and models for using AI in investment research.

AI is useful for specific parts of investing, and it gets things wrong all the time. I’ve discovered as many dead ends as breakthroughs, and I’ve done this all with my own money. The AI Edge

How I ended up on Wall Street

I started my career as a Wall Street equity research analyst, where I learned how stocks actually get valued and traded, and it’s not with the discounted cash flow models you learn to build in business school.

Most individual investors think equity research means staring at a computer screen, drawing trendlines on a chart and making calculations by hand. In reality, it’s closer to fieldwork.

My track record

For the past decade, I’ve honed my investing instincts managing my own portfolio, clearing several 10x gains along the way. I learned early in this business that most investment managers who believe they’re skilled are actually just lucky. The data on that is brutal. I’ve developed a framework for telling the difference between a risk worth taking and one that just feels exciting. Asymmetric Bets
