As the calendar turns to January, we all see a lot of predictions appear in the media.
How cold is this winter going to be?
Who is going to win the Super Bowl?
Which movie is going to win the Academy Award?
And, of course…
Is the stock market going to go up or down?
Do you remember the market predictions at the beginning of 2023?
Some of the best analysts in the world, the ones paid piles of money by Wall Street insiders, were singing in concert about the certainty of a recession.
It never happened.
Others were predicting a major bear market, with forecasts as low as 3200 for the S&P.
Not even close.
Mainstream media outlets love these stories because they make such great headlines… and they drive a lot of clicks.
For investors more interested in building wealth instead of getting attention from the crowd, these predictions are often useless… or worse.
They convince you to move your money in absolutely the wrong direction and cost you money in losing investments or sitting on the sidelines as others rack up big profits.
But there is an alternative…
You don’t have to depend on guesswork about GDP or the Fed’s next move or inflation predictions.
You don’t have to listen to media talking heads, podcasters, or people on X (formerly Twitter) who are looking to get more clicks than anyone else.
Instead, you can depend on data.
Listen to the Data
We gave up following the crowd long ago.
Rather than trade the stock market… or interest rates or Fed moves… or market predictions… we built an algorithm that zeroes in on what is going on at the company level.
The key factors that will affect a stock’s price gets baked into the cake of our algorithm.
This is how the most successful hedge funds work: They pay top dollar to any data source to help them find the company-level information that is going to give them an edge.
As a consumer, you’re helping those Wall Street firms get that edge – whether you realize it or not.
When you go to a big-box store, satellites are counting the number of cars in the parking lot…
Traffic apps collect data on how many cars are going to different store locations…
If you post on social media about a purchase, that’s critical data, too.
And that’s where we get our edge…
Our Edge Becomes Your Edge
Our stock-picking system discovers and analyzes consumer behavior shifts based on the firehose of social media data being created every minute of every day.
We track the brands and products owned by publicly traded companies.
With a powerful AI-driven algorithm, we can analyze and enrich that data to find the trends and shifts in the marketplace that give investors that critical edge… the data… that matters in the market.
Our system can spot companies about to enjoy rising revenues and profits. But it can also spot companies about to suffer declining revenues and profits.
That allows us to profit from stocks going up AND from stocks going down.
Remember, “the market” is made of up of thousands of individual companies, each on its own trajectory of growth or decline.
Instead of making investments along with “the market,” we trade on the fortunes of individual companies and whether their customers are in love with the products and services or find them unsatisfying.
The average investor isn’t going to get an edge by guessing where the broad market will go. And they are not going to get an edge listening to predictions about whether there’s going to be a recession or a bear market.
However, we can get a big edge by leveraging our algorithm, what it tells us about individual companies, and the experiences consumers are having… every day.
By trading this way, you get out of the prediction game. You get out of the guessing games.
Instead, you trade with the data… with an edge.
Tomorrow, January 9, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. ET, we’ll give you the full story on how our system works and how investors can use the data to trade the market, regardless of which direction it takes.
You can join us at The AI Earnings Predictor Summit to find out how to get out of the prediction game and make your investing choices with the kind of data Wall Street pros use.
See you there,
