A Robot Says It's Time to Sell Facebook and Alphabet. Should You Listen?
It's often said that emotion makes investors their own worst enemies. It causes them to buy high, sell low, or grow attached to losing stocks for the wrong reasons. Even professional analysts often follow that trend, by issuing buy ratings after big rallies and sell ratings after big declines.
That herd-like mentality makes human analysts seem unreliable, and has opened up a new market for artificial intelligence-powered solutions. Robo-advisors, for example, can feed a client's financial background and goals through an algorithm to offer advice or automatically invest their assets.
