Technological Disruption: Are You Prepared for the Next Big Change in Investing?

With technology reshaping investing, the real question is not whether you should use artificial intelligence and robo tools but how to use them wisely.

From artificial intelligence (AI) trading tools to robo-advisers, technology is shaking up the world of investing by boosting decision-making, managing portfolios and spotting trends. But it’s crucial to understand their risks. One way for investors to gain insights is by sharing their experiences.

Changing Your Allocations: Robo-advisers and AI tools can automatically adjust your portfolio allocation based on real-time market data, making it easier and faster to manage. But there are risks, such as relying too heavily on automated decisions or missing out on key insights.

How do you use robo-advisers and/or AI in your investing strategy? What benefits and challenges have you experienced?

Connecting to a Global World: Online platforms allow you to trade international stocks and ETFs, and AI tools can predict trends in foreign markets. However, these tools might miss out on important details like political risks or cultural differences. Automation can help, but it can’t replace human judgment.

How has technology changed your approach to global investing? Do you trust it to account for geopolitical risks, or do you stick with traditional methods?

Spotting Big Growth Opportunities: Growth investors now use AI and data tools to find high-potential companies faster. These tools can scan huge amounts of information to spot trends, but there’s a risk of overlooking important factors like leadership or company culture.

How do you balance AI and traditional research when seeking growth opportunities? Does tech give you an edge, or does it pose risks?

Happily not prepared! Still invested 100% in low cost equity index funds for the long term. The real question is whether Robo Advisors or AI can do better. I want evidence not rhetoric!

John L makes an excellent point, as usual. What empirical evidence exists to show that "AI tools can predict trends in foreign markets"---or predict ANYTHING of importance?


MARK E from IA posted about 1 year ago:

I can make the same arguments for using AI today that I made for using VisiCalc in 1980 - it ain't perfect, just give it time. VisiCalc begat Lotus 123, which begat Multiplan, which begat Excel. Today I use primarily Google Gemini to ask questions, refine data and use that in my decisions. Like all technology changes, this is a process of change, but investors remain in control of the decisions. If you let technology make the trades, that is your decision.
