I had a friend who wanted to start a coin counting by mail business. The customer mails the coins in a flat rate package and then you count them and in exchange the people get a gift card to a local restaurant.

    Banks and investment firms can hire people with multiple doctorates in mathematics and programming, and at least as far as anyone knows no-one’s found a way to game the stock market consistently and regularly using math or AI.

    Admittedly, it would be far less difficult to give the appearance that you’d managed to do so, and sell a line of hooey to a bunch of idiot investors.

      I’m 100% certain that no investment firm has “solved” the stock market using AI, but I’m like 80% sure that most of them have AI-trained tools that don’t make decisions themselves, but are used to inform the humans that do.

      There’s just too much information in that job for any human to process, so if you can find a way to “filter the noise” a little bit better than the next firm, you have a competitive edge.
