Where Money, Investing, and Technology Meet
You don’t hear about the bid-ask spread too much these days. The rise of electronic trading has virtually eliminated the need for such lingo. If it’s liquid, you can pretty much buy and sell whatever you want at the same price. But back in the day, the bid price, which is the most a buyer […]
Few investors would say “no” to beating the market. Even the most passive among us would happily filter-feed a few extra quid – like a financial blue whale – if we didn’t need an ‘edge’ to make it happen. Last week we looked at one way to potentially do that. The small value strategy has […]
As AI becomes increasingly embedded in business operations, from customer service agents and recommendation engines to fraud detection and supply chain optimization, trust in these systems is critical.

While individual investors often believe they can do the same, and some actually might, the vast majority of people aren’t as skilled at stock selection.
