The Right Data Makes All the Difference

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome David Trainer back to the show. David is the CEO and founder of New Constructs, a research-technology firm that uses human expertise and machine learning to analyze companies and get superior financial data.

David kicks things off by providing the key to what he believes makes AI as good as it can be. Then he discusses how he and his team use machines to scale analytics. He follows that up with how his data led to a partnership with Google. And he notes how the data his team uses has been shown to be better in studies. (0:00)

Next, David points out that machines can't read through company filings until humans show them how to do it. He then shares the process he has gone through with AI and how it's at the stage where it can teach itself and learn from its mistakes. David notes how now is the time for the private sectors to fix the problems that the government has failed to do so. (23:25)

Finally, David bemoans how Wall Street has shifted from being a "steward of capital markets" to becoming an "exploiter of capital markets." He also gives an example of how his clients can use his system to navigate market complexity. Ultimately, David wants folks to do their own research so they can be on guard against useless and deceptive information. (43:50)
