This Is What We’re Up Against
Institutions Are Packing Some Serious AI Heat By Greg Madison for Professor Bierman Hi, everybody! It’s Greg here with you. I hope everyone’s having a great weekend, and folks in the weather’s path (yours truly included) are staying safe out there. When Professor Bierman first lays his big-picture thesis to you, with words to the…
This Is Required Viewing
Professor Bierman is on vacation for the next week or so, and he asked me to keep in touch with everyone at Man vs. Machines while he takes a well-deserved break. Now, what I don’t know about machine-markets could fill a book, although I’m learning… learning… I’m old enough to remember it; I was working…
Watch These Algos Hijack an $806 Billion Chipmaker
From a Reuters article this week: “A U.S. stock rally supercharged by excitement over artificial intelligence is drawing comparisons with the dotcom bubble two decades ago, raising the question of whether prices have again been inflated by optimism over a revolutionary technology.” Reuters would never come out and say this, but from where I’m standing…
A Virtually Stressless P&G Trade
Professor Bierman here, alerting you to a virtually stressless P&G trade, created by unrelenting Wall Street algos! P&G’s volumes are down, and they’re not gaining traction and market share. Inflation is squeezing folk to death! Shelling out a premium price for toothpaste is rough sledding. My strong suspicion is this: algos noticed that P&G escaped a…
The Surprising 'Fake Stock' That Missed the A.I. Boat...
Professor Bierman here, and I'm here to tell you that AAPL - Apple’s pretty much a “fake stock” at this point. Yep, they had a stock buyback… but BIG DEAL! It’s nothing more than a wet band-aid on a gaping wound. Apple missed the A.I. boat. Warren Buffett, their biggest shareholder, is unloading shares. There’s *crickets” in…
Urban Outfitters Hits Major Manipulation Groove
Professor Bierman here… Urban Outfitters (URBN) hit a major “manipulation groove” today. The algos jammed it up! The thing you need to understand about algos is they sniff out trends. Yet they’re programmed with such a confluence of data points… sometimes it’s impossible to know what trend they’re actually following. That’s the case today with URBN…just…
A Royal Caribbean Algo Gut Punch
Professor Bierman here. And boy, Royal Caribbean really felt the gut-punch of the algo army today. Take a look at this chart and I’ll explain what’s happening and how you could have potentially made money. Here’s the deal: Social media giant, Benzinga “red flagged” the stock after spotting some unusual options activity. Some whale traders then…
Advanced Micro Devices - Taken Hostage?
Professor Bierman here… Advanced Micro Devices… was taken hostage TODAY! Who by? Algos - that’s who! Those wretched little rascals who quietly run today’s stock market, like Al Capone ruled the streets of Chicago. This my friends… is what MONEY looks like in today’s machine-run markets. You had the potential to ride an absolute algo-created…
This Market Is Going Vertical!
Professor Bierman here… The market’s going vertical… like Superman late for a dinner date on Krypton. And you can guess who’s to thank… yep, our electronic pals: Wall Street’s algos. So you can’t go long as a position trader because the risk/reward is lethal. And it’s too early to go short. So where can we…
