Would you guys really give an AI Agent access to your brokerage account? Are you nuts? Why even test this?

And by that I mean why not set it up to give you recommended trades that you then make instead of allowing it to actually make trades...

What do you think quantitative investing is? This is just the poor mans version that will hopefully get better over time. It's a cool experiment.

I try to avoid doing things the poor man’s way with my money personally.

I’ll likely do this when I have time to do some active trading again.

It took maybe 30minutes to get things set up for my agent to handle the account. It was an early “wouldn’t it be cool if” ideas that came up when I was early on getting my agent running.

The amount of trust people already have in AI is the most frightening thing about it.

You equate truwith hubris.

Maybe sprinkle in global depression and general apathy.

Edit. In sure I’m right behind everyone!

I'm not buying this run either. Best case scenario is we just trade sideways again for another 6+ months until we stop getting daily contradictions and a permanent resolution to the current Iran situation.

I stopped buying like mid-last year. Just stockpiling cash right now so I don't have to withdraw anything for a year or two, hopefully.

I'm basically "monitoring the situation" with the market cuz I have no moves to make at this time.

I have 75% just sitting in qqq/spy and have 25% that I have in cash that I use to sell puts on nvda, amd, tsla and a few other tech stocks when they dip towards support levels. Only time I've been assigned or forced to roll so far has been on pltr and ibit.

I’ve made some really good picks in the AI midsmall cap world around late March, but even with that I’m only up around 5% for the year due to my giant Palantir holding.

really brings up a good discussion of taxation on the ltc gains vs opportunity costs of something like that. I have sold around 1/3 of the Palantir, but it still represents around 12% of my holdings, which is just too much.

Anyway - I like the small to mid stuff with the high probability of rate reductions- IWS iwm fine if you don’t want singles.

for megas, maybe some Cummins or HD or whatever you like related to projects/construction opening up. Cat has been phenomenal in that world. Rates should keep dropping over the next 2 years so look in that area for some upside ?

Marathon and Valero are up just over 50% YTD. I mentioned it in this thread how refineries were doing well since the start of the year before Iran. I guess I should have put more in. I'm still not sure why they were up before Iran other than possibly Valero announcing they were shutting down one of their CA refineries.

I avoided Marathon because their refinery I have visited in person reminds me of a ticking timb bomb.....
