You're listening to TI-P.

One of the biggest ideas and finance for the coming decade is how will artificial intelligence

0:07.6

impact stock selection and investing?

0:10.1

Two quarters ago, I recommended a new ETF that selects its positions based on deep machine

0:15.1

learning, neural networks, and all that other fun stuff.

0:18.6

The fun uses IBM Watson artificial intelligence to read as much data as possible.
