The Wake Up Call

Di: Paul David Thompson: Investor Consultant and Fund Manager
  • Riassunto

  • My Wake-Up Call came in 2015, when I realized that I had had enough of my corporate job and was ready to take back control of my life. The world and economy are constantly changing, and the best thing you can learn is how to spend your time and energy working *on* your business instead of in it. I’m Paul Thompson, and in my podcast we’ll be discussing exactly that—how to build and grow your investment portfolio from the ground up. With each episode, you’ll hear inspiring stories from those who have already experienced their wake-up call, and are doing something about it. Real Estate professionals, industry leaders, and more, will join me to discuss how owning and renting property has changed their lives and the lives of their families for the better. It can do the same for you. Join us and revolutionize your portfolio, investments… and your life.

  • 247: How AI is Leveling the Playing Field for Investors with Andrew Einhorn
    Apr 23 2024

    Description:

    Your WakeUp Call begins when you start to challenge conventional thinking. When you empower yourself to break free from the daily grind. When you choose to design your own lifestyle and economy.

    In this episode, we sit down with Andrew, the founder of LevelFields AI, to discuss how his company is using advanced data analysis and artificial intelligence to give individual investors access to the same powerful insights that were previously only available to large financial institutions.

    Andrew shares how his platform scans thousands of news sources and company filings in real-time to detect market-moving events and predict their impact on stock prices. He explains how this technology can be used for both short-term trading strategies as well as longer-term portfolio management. We explore the implications of democratizing this type of high-powered analytics and how it has the potential to fundamentally change the investment landscape.



    Key Takeaways:

    1. LevelFields AI is using AI and natural language processing to extract insights from massive amounts of unstructured data that would be impossible for humans to process alone.

    2. This technology allows individual investors to quickly identify potential catalysts for stock price movements and make more informed trading decisions.

    3. By making advanced data analysis accessible for a few hundred dollars per year, LevelFields is "leveling the playing field" between individual investors and large financial institutions.

    4. The platform can be used for both short-term trading strategies as well as longer-term portfolio management by providing rapid alerts and predictions about upcoming events.

    5. Democratizing access to this type of high-powered analytics has the potential to significantly disrupt traditional investment practices and give more power to individual market participants.

    About Today’s Guest:

    Andrew is the founder of LevelFields AI, a fintech company that is using advanced data analysis and artificial intelligence to democratize Wall Street. With nearly two decades of experience working with large datasets and unstructured data, Andrew recognized an opportunity to give individual investors the same powerful analytical capabilities that were previously only accessible to big hedge funds and asset management firms.

    Prior to founding LevelFields, Andrew had a diverse career. He started as an epidemiologist studying cancer clusters and toxicity issues around oil rigs, then transitioned into consulting work for government agencies like NASA, the FAA, and the Department of Defense. This led him to start his first software company in 2010, which focused on reputation management for public companies.

    After selling that business in 2019, Andrew and his team began developing the technology behind LevelFields, using AI and natural language processing to rapidly identify market-moving events and predict their impact on stock prices. By making this advanced analytics accessible to individual investors, Andrew aims to "level the playing field" and disrupt traditional investment practices.
