Question 1

What does AI Portfolio Analyst do that other portfolio tools do not?

Accepted Answer

It brings together in one place:

A deep neural network that learns every day from the market evolution
All your stocks in a single place
Real-time access to most stock exchanges in the world
Each stock in your Portfolios analysed against years of its own price history
The financial news and press articles analysed every day, each article given a credibility score
All historical data combined with the latest press coverage, weighted by its credibility, into a final AI Score for each of your stocks
Virtual-Portfolios™ — test “what if” ideas: the history is worked out from price data, even before the day you built it, with dividends detected and reinvested automatically
Paper-Portfolios™ — trade at real market prices with imaginary money: each day’s value is saved and never recalculated, so the track record cannot flatter itself in hindsight

Together they let you check the AI’s recommendations against the S&P 500 yourself. We do not know of another portfolio tool for individual investors that offers both Virtual-Portfolios™ and Paper-Portfolios™.

Question 3

How do I know the AI gives good recommendations?

Accepted Answer

Very easy: you can check for yourself the history of what the AI recommended, and the result.

Use Virtual Portfolios™ to check the evolution of what AI recommended.
1) Ask AI to Create a Virtual-Portfolio™ matching its recommendation
2) Use the system history to see how the value of this portfolio changed over time
For a record that can never be recalculated afterwards, use a Paper-Portfolio™: each day’s value is saved once and never changed

You do not have to take our word for any of it. Build the portfolio the AI recommends, let the history accumulate, and judge the result yourself — that is the whole point of the feature, and it is why we would rather hand you the tool than quote you a number.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Question 4

What is a score?

Accepted Answer

Every stock we follow carries a single number between 0 and 100: its AI Score. It is our summary of everything we know about that company, expressed so that two very different businesses can be compared on the same scale.

It is built from three independent readings:

The company’s own measured history. Years of real behaviour — how the share price has moved, how violently, what it returned over one year and six months, what it pays in dividends, how large the company is and how strong its balance sheet looks. A model trained on what actually happened to thousands of stocks turns that record into a forward-looking estimate.
An independent second opinion. A separate AI review looks at the same company and forms its own judgement, without seeing the first result. Two methods that agree are worth more than one method that is confident.
What the press has been saying — explained in the next question.

The three are combined into the one number you see. Higher is better, and the Recommendation column translates it into plain language — Strong Buy through to Sell — so you never have to remember where the thresholds sit.

What a score is not. It is not a prediction, and it is not a promise. It is a ranking of the evidence available today: it tells you which stocks look strongest on the record, not what the market will do next. Use it to decide what deserves your attention, then make your own decision.

Question 5

What is the Press Analysis score?

Accepted Answer

It is a reading of what the press has actually been saying about a company over the last 30 days — not a mood meter, but a count of considered judgements.

Every day, the financial news and press articles written about each company are read and judged one article at a time:

Each article gets its own verdict on that company specifically — favourable, unfavourable or neither — rather than a general impression of the whole piece
Every source carries a credibility weight, so a serious financial title counts for considerably more than an anonymous blog
Recent coverage counts most: an article counts double one published five days earlier, so last month’s story fades rather than lingering

Reading the number. The result is a score from 0 to 100, where 50 is neutral. Above 50 the recent coverage leans favourable, below 50 it leans unfavourable. The figure in brackets is how many articles went into it, so 83.26 (150) means a clearly favourable reading built on 150 separate articles rather than one loud headline.

A dash means something different from 50. A dash is silence — nothing meaningful was written about that company in the window. Fifty means the press wrote plenty and it balanced out. Quiet is not the same as balanced, so we never pretend one is the other.

Question 6

What is a Virtual-Portfolio™?

Accepted Answer

A Virtual-Portfolio™ is a portfolio you create to automatically follow its valuation over time.

Once created, our system will automatically evaluate it once a day and save its history.

A major feature: our system will automatically check if a dividend has been paid.

If a dividend has been paid, the amount paid will be used to "reinvest" and the number of shares in your portfolio updated.

You can view your Virtual-Portfolio™ and its history at any time.

You can use them to analyse "What if" scenarios.

The system can automatically create a Virtual-Portfolio™ from the list of best recommended stocks.

Question 7

What is a Paper-Portfolio™?

Accepted Answer

A Paper-Portfolio™ lets you trade at real market prices with imaginary money, and builds a track record you can actually trust.

You open it with a starting cash balance — $100,000 by default — and from that moment you buy and sell exactly as you would with real money:

Every trade is priced at the current quoted price, not a price you choose
Your cash is enforced — a purchase you cannot afford is refused
You cannot sell shares you do not hold
Every buy and sell is written to a permanent ledger that is never edited or deleted
The whole portfolio is valued once a day and that value is saved forever

That last point is the reason the feature exists. A saved daily value is never recalculated afterwards, so the record your Paper-Portfolio™ builds cannot drift, cannot be tidied up, and cannot flatter itself in hindsight.

It is the honest answer to the only question that matters: how did these decisions actually perform?
