I thought this was an interesting application of the technology.

Have been wondering about LLMs' stock picking prowess but haven't got around to experiment with it. @jon-nyc do you hear anything in that area?

I did actually try it. I asked for some stocks that were less than USD$5 and it gave me a list and I have buy some. So far, after about six months or so, the stocks have been pretty "flat".
I do have to give a "shout" to @89th . A while back, he mentioned about quantum computing stocks. I bought D-Wave and Rigetti last Nov. when they were just a little more than USD$1. Now, they are both at like $15USD. Unfortunately, I only bought about $100 of each.

That’s my problem with gambling or speculation of any kind. I’m not willing to risk much, and as a result even when I win ‘big’ it’s not all that interesting.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@jon-nyc Same. I am pretty conservative with money.
Maybe it "helped" being poor growing up. 555

Me too. I have an account that I manage just for fun but it’s only about $8k. Never going to be financially significant.

About using LLM for stock picking, there is a new paper on this (published Aug.15, 2025):
"AlphaAgents: Large Language Model based Multi-Agents for Equity Portfolio Constructions"
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.11152Just go to the "Conclusion" if you'd rather not slog through the details.

I didn't understand the conclusion either. Can robots make me rich or not?
AlphaAgents aligns with established portfolio construction frameworks and discretionary investment workflows. While currently focused on stock selection, it can serve as a modular input to models like Mean-Variance Optimization or Black-Litterman, by supplying agent-driven signals for return estimation and scenario analysis.
It might be simpler to rob a bank.
