Best of US Investors brings Wall Street Technology to Main Street
How Smaller Investors Can Level the Data-Driven Playing Field Against Wall Street
April 16, 2024
For decades, massive Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs have enjoyed a decisive advantage over individual investors. With thousands of analysts and unparalleled access to data and capital, they’ve had the firepower to scrutinize investments through an immensely powerful analytical lens. But that entrenched dynamic is finally being disrupted.
Thanks to advances in AI, machine learning, and the proliferation of data, a new generation of data-driven investors like Kerry Grinkmeyer of Best of US Investors are working to democratize Wall Street’s long-held edge. Grinkmeyer has a bold vision to harness AI capabilities and crowdsourced brainpower to put institutional-grade insights and analysis into the hands of individuals and smaller investment groups.
Here’s Grinkmeyer’s multi-pronged “Cheat Sheet” for how retail investors can use data and computing power to gain an upper hand:
- Aggregate all available information – Compile historical stock data, financial reports, news, social media, speech transcripts and more into a centralized data warehouse. Leverage AI to synthesize this fire hose of inputs into clear, actionable investment insights.
- Replicate the quantitative models – Using this comprehensive data set, build detailed forecast models to rigorously analyze factors like historical earnings, revenue growth, cash flows, profit margins and more to project a company’s future performance over several years.
- Identify mispriced opportunities – Compare these multi-year earnings forecasts to current market pricing. Stocks that appear undervalued relative to their projected trajectory could represent attractive investment opportunities before inefficiencies are corrected.
- Move swiftly before the whales – As nimble investors unencumbered by the massive capital constraints of big funds, individuals can act rapidly to capitalize on perceived mispricing’s before larger institutional players establish their own positions.
- Crowdsource analytical scale – Individual investors can’t reasonably match the manpower of a professional investing behemoth. But by banding together in a community model, they can pool resources to develop and continually enhance the data analytics capabilities required to take on Wall Street’s muscle.
Rather than being permanently outgunned and on the defensive, Grinkmeyer wants to arm smaller investors with the same quantitative data-driven arsenal long monopolized by heavyweight funds. With enough collective analytical horsepower, he believes Main Street’s millions can finally wrest back the upper hand.
Of course, institutional giants won’t surrender their ingrained advantages easily. Protecting their edge will likely prompt fierce resistance and counterattacks as the balance of power shifts. But for those bold enough to seize the opportunity, the investing world’s massive imbalance may finally be ripe for disruption after generations of minority empowerment.
