Deep dives

Prediction 1: Overhaul of Stock Market

Frank predicts that the stock market will undergo a complete overhaul in the next five to ten years due to the accelerating trend of AI in trading. He explains that the current system of buying and selling stocks is flawed, with new information coming in less frequently than stocks are traded. He believes that AI bots will take over trading, creating a disadvantage for retail consumers. This, coupled with the collapse of trading costs, will destabilize the stock market and require a rethinking of how it works.
