Editor’s Note: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been the biggest story of the year… and now it’s coming straight to your portfolio. Below, our good friend Andy Snyder of Manward Press shows how the big players on Wall Street are losing their “unfair advantage” over everyday investors thanks to AI.

But there’s even better news… Manward’s own Alpesh Patel – a highly successful investor and hedge fund CEO – is hosting a FREE AI Super Trader Summit. He’s going to show attendees exactly how he uses the data-crunching power of AI to target winning stocks. It will all be revealed next Wednesday, September 13, at 2 p.m. ET.

Are you using artificial intelligence in your trading?

You’d better be.

If not, you’re competing against folks who have an unfair advantage.

Ask any market expert out there what makes the big boys so much more successful than the little guys, and they’ll tell you three things: The big boys have more money to hedge with… they have better data… and they use complicated computer systems to pull all that data together.

For decades, it has created an “unfair” advantage. The big boys have always had an edge.

But that’s changing.

Few folks know the full history of how AI came into the secretive world of trading, but most research points back to a project called ZagTrader. It comes from David Rumelhart and a team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon.

By today’s standards, the project was simple. ZagTrader was built to use historical market data to make predictions about future stock prices. (Now we use systems like this all the time.)

What was unique about the idea – and why the school’s computer department was so excited about it – was that the machine could learn from its mistakes.

That’s a trait that many (most?) humans think they have… but don’t. We think we learn from our losing trades. But often our logic is off. We mistake correlation for causation.

Computers are good at figuring these things out. Humans… not so much.

Because of its ability to learn, ZagTrader worked.

It beat the market.

Now Wall Street’s biggest firms look to hire folks who have Carnegie’s Tepper School of Business listed atop their gilded degrees. Graduates of its computational finance program have a job offer rate of 98%. Their average salary is $125,000, and signing bonuses stretch as high as $150,000.

Where are they going?

The latest list of firms includes all the usual suspects – JPMorgan Chase, Citi, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and BlackRock.

Again… the big boys have been using AI for decades. It shows. That’s why they’re big.

But now, as you may have heard, their competitive edge is waning.

AI has had a bit of a breakout at the retail level this year. And the trend is only going to get hotter – and more profitable – from here.

Right now, there are many ways for the average investor to take advantage of AI. Some require a bit of work… others have already done the work for you.

For example, did you know that you have access to AI-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) – a combination of two of the great financial equalizers of our time?

The Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ) has $2.5 billion under its thumb. It invests in companies that use or create AI.

It’s up 30% year to date.

The ROBO Global Robotics and Automation Index ETF (ROBO) has $1.5 billion in assets. It’s up 18% over the same time frame.

Best of all, there’s no need to hire expensive computer geeks or shell out for customized programs. Both ETFs have an expense ratio under 1%.

YOUR ACTION PLAN

ETFs are a great way for average investors to get in on the AI boom, but the truth is you can do better than an ETF… way better. Manward’s own Alpesh Patel – hedge fund CEO, award-winning trader and Dealmaker to royalty – is on a mission to show everyday investors how they can harness the power of AI in their portfolios.

At his AI Super Trader Summit on Wednesday, September 13, at 2 p.m. ET, Alpesh will go live with all the details on how he’s using AI as part of his strategy to target winning stocks.

He’s the only high-profile fund manager we know of who is stepping forward to level the playing field for Main Street investors.

This is your shot to compete with the big boys.

FUN FACT FRIDAY

Robots Are Pretty Damn Fast. After launching in 2006, Twitter took two years to reach 1 million users. Facebook needed only 10 months from its 2008 launch. And Instagram beat them both when it reached 1 million users in just 2 1/2 months in 2010. However, following its launch last November, the OpenAI platform ChatGPT became the fastest app or service ever to add 1 million users. It did it in five days.

And as Andy mentioned above, you have the opportunity to harness the power of AI for your own portfolio. Manward’s Alpesh Patel is going live with his AI Super Trader Summit on Wednesday, September 13, at 2 p.m. He’ll give you all the details on how to play this revolutionary sector for your own financial benefit.
