Growth Investing

Growth investors are increasingly turning to AI and data-driven tools to uncover high-potential companies at lightning speed. These tools can sift through massive amounts of data to spot trends and opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed.

However, there's a catch: relying too heavily on technology could mean missing out on key factors like strong leadership, company culture, or other elements that tech can't always quantify.

So, the question is: How do you strike the right balance between AI and traditional research when identifying growth opportunities? Do you think tech gives you a competitive edge, or do the risks of overlooking the human touch outweigh the benefits?

We'd love to hear your thoughts! Share your experiences and insights with the community, let's discuss how technology is shaping the future of growth investing.

I am negative on all 3 questions.

How do you strike the right balance between AI and traditional research when identifying growth opportunities? See below.

Do you think tech gives you a competitive edge? Not so far.

Do the risks of overlooking the human touch outweigh the benefits? Not so far.

I see using the current AI offerings to guide my investment decisions as equivalent to shopping for a mail-order bride on-line or electing to do my own heart surgery using a Chatbot.

You must insert your persona into the investment process because relying on a faceless homogenized third-party to produce personalized investment outcomes has more risk than the market already provides.

I don't see investing as a team sport. Making our own mistakes and accepting the outcomes is part of growing up.

These are the exact reasons I am a DIY "individual investor.
