A professor testing ChatGPT's, DeepSeek's and Grok's stock-picking skills suggests stockbrokers should worry
Is artificial intelligence coming for the jobs of Wall Street traders? An assistant professor of finance at the University of Florida, Alejandro Lopez-Lira, has spent the past few years trying to answer that question. Lopez-Lira has been experimenting with ChatGPT, DeepSeek and Grok to see if AI can be used to pick stocks. So far, he's impressed with what the currently available AI chatbots can do when it comes to trading equities. 'He failed in his fiduciary duty': My brother liquidated our mother's 401(k) for her nursing home. He claimed the rest. I help my elderly mother every day and drive her to appointments. Can I recoup my costs from her estate? 'The situation is extreme': I'm 65 and leaving my estate to only one grandchild. Can the others contest my will? My new husband gave me a contract and told me to 'sign here' — but I refused. It was the best decision of my life. My daughter's boyfriend, a guest in my home, offered to powerwash part of my house — then demanded money In an interview, Lopez-Lira acknowledged that AI is prone to making mistakes, but he has not seen the three versions he's been using do anything 'stupid.' His work comes as more market participants are thinking about the implications of AI for investing and trading. 'I don't know what tasks out there analysts are doing with information that can't be done with large language models,' Lopez-Lira said. 'The only two exceptions are things that involve interacting in the physical world or having in-person conversations. But, other than that, I would imagine all of the tasks or most of the tasks can already be automated.' Shortly after OpenAI Inc. released ChatGPT in 2022, Lopez-Lira began testing the chatbot's skills. He wanted to know if ChatGPT, and AI in general, would show an ability to pick stocks. While there are numerous ways to approach that question, Lopez-Lira began with a simple exercise: Could the AI application accurately interpret whether a headline on a news story is good or bad for a stock? What he found surprised him. Conducting a back test simulating historical stock-market returns, the study used more than 134,000 headlines from press releases and news articles for over 4,000 companies that were pulled from third-party data providers. The headlines were fed into ChatGPT using a programming language called Python. ChatGPT would then decide whether a headline was positive for a company, negative or unknown. The results were then saved in a data file and uploaded into statistical software in which headlines perceived as positive would result in a stock purchase. Negative headlines would trigger short sales, effectively betting against a stock in anticipation that it will fall in price. If ChatGPT was uncertain, no action was taken. Because this was an academic simulation, no actual stocks were traded. But the software did compare the simulated performance against historical outcomes. The stock picks were made daily, with a median of 70 stocks bought and a median of 20 shorted. For Lopez-Lira, the tricky thing about using a back-testing approach was that the AI could know what, in the end, had transpired. OpenAI had trained ChatGPT in 2022 on data up until September 2021. So Lopez-Lira tested the chatbot using headlines after October 2021. This way, ChatGPT wouldn't know what was going to happen and would need to rely on reason to come to conclusions. His findings were released on the SSRN preprint platform in April 2023 in a paper titled 'Can ChatGPT Forecast Stock Price Movements? Return Predictability and Large Language Models.' The study, currently being peer reviewed, found that ChatGPT had 'significant predictive power for economic outcomes in asset markets.' The GPT-4 version had an average daily return of 0.38% with a compounded cumulative return of over 650% from October 2021 to December 2023. Now, obviously, this academic study had limitations. In the real world, frictions exist that would strain returns, including brokerage transaction costs and fees; the availability of shares; taxes; and price impact, which is when relatively large trades move a stock's price. Additionally, about 76% of the gains came from shorts, a trading strategy that can be more fraught due to short-interest fees and the need to find the shares to borrow and sell short. 'So, our results on paper are much more optimistic than what the performance in reality would be with a reasonable investment size,' Lopez-Lira said. But the tilt toward positive returns was enough for him to conclude that ChatGPT had understood economic markets and shown an ability to forecast stock outcomes. About a month after the preprint was published, Lopez-Lira got the chance to take his experiment outside of the academy after being contacted by Autopilot, an investment app that mimics the trades of notable public figures. He was asked to help create a portfolio that would be based on investment picks made by ChatGPT. It was an opportunity for him to see how his academic experiment would perform in the real world. By September 2023, he'd begun providing the Autopilot app with the investment picks made by ChatGPT on a monthly basis. The Autopilot team would then upload the selections, and Autopilot users could link their brokerage accounts to the stock picks. This time, since real money was involved, Lopez-Lira had to do more than just feed ChatGPT a few news headlines. He had to provide it with a wide range of information to be sure it was making decisions based on the macroeconomic environment and company financials. Available AI models are not currently in a place where you can just ask them to pick investments, said Lopez-Lira. The process still requires a human in the loop to feed it with the information it needs to consider before making a decision. This is mostly because AI models aren't trained on real-time data, which means their knowledge is often outdated, including for such basics as the price of a stock's last trade. Even as AI models are able to conduct live web searches, they don't always know what information to search for in order to make the most informed decisions, he added. 'Large language models are tricky to handle, they can make stuff up and sometimes they don't have the right information,' Lopez-Lira said. 'So you have to know how to prompt the AI.' The portfolio managed by ChatGPT would consist of 15 positions, 10 of which had to be stocks from the S&P 500 SPX and five of which had to be exchange-traded funds that have exposure to a sector or industry. To get there, Lopez-Lira used Python to pull information from third-party data providers and news websites about the macroeconomic environment, geopolitical risks, company financials and the latest prices for stocks within the S&P 500. He then asked ChatGPT to consider the information and assign companies a score on a scale of 1 to 100, with a higher score representing a better investment. Once the AI had decided on its scoring, it was then asked to create a portfolio of stocks and exchange-traded funds based on that information. More recently, in February, Lopez-Lira added investing accounts on Autopilot that use Grok and DeepSeek. Since then, the Florida professor has been gradually removing restrictions placed on the three AI models. For example, in March, the models were allowed to decide on the weightings of each holding. In April, the models were freed to balance up to 15 positions outside the initial parameters of 10 stocks and five ETFs, allowing them to pick a combination of their choosing. They could also pick ETFs that had exposure to additional asset classes, like bonds and commodities, excluding ones that use leverage, derivatives and short positions. To date, the latest AI models running the investment accounts are OpenAI's o3, xAI's Grok 3 and DeepSeek R1. The models are periodically updated based on the latest versions available. Lopez-Lira also rotates which AI model he uses to summarize macroeconomic risks and score companies based on the 1-to-100 scale, but all three models receive the same input, regardless of which model did the screening. Below is an example of what each AI application picked for its 15 positions on April 1, the day before President Donald Trump's 'liberation day' announcement on tariffs, until May 5, when the selections were rebalanced. It was based on data Lopez-Lira provided up until March 31. He used Grok 3 to organize the data. All three AI applications were fed the same information, but OpenAI's o1 pro and Grok 3 were able to include information from web searches, according to Lopez-Lira. The tables below show each model's selection, including the weightings, reason (thesis), the advantage of the position (edge) and the risk associated with the position. Asset Ticker symbol Weight Thesis Edge Risk 1 SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY 15% Core broad-market exposure to capture potential equity rebound if inflation/cooler data lead to Fed pivot or if tariffs don't derail sentiment.

But the model showed that its weightings equaled 100%, a 10% flaw. Lopez-Lira asked GPT why the sum was 90%, and it responded that it intentionally left a 10% cash buffer due to uncertain market conditions. It's unclear whether the answer was truthful or intended to cover for its mistake. Asset Ticker symbol Weight Thesis Edge Risk 1 American Tower Corp.

SPGI 4% Critical data/ratings provider in volatile markets; 27% margins. 'Essential utility' for institutional investors. High valuation (P/E 41.1) risks multiple compression. Total 99% DeepSeek's weightings fell short, amounting to 99%. When Lopez-Lira pointed that out, the AI responded with two possible reasons for the discrepancy. The first was that it could have been based on a rounding issue. The second was that it may have decided to keep a 1% cash allocation. The model could not confirm which option was the accurate reason for the decision. Like any investment strategy, there's risk involved, and past performance isn't guaranteed to continue, Lopez-Lira said. As long as the portfolios buy stocks or stick to long-only positions, he expects them to match the S&P 500's performance, or perhaps over- or underperform by a small margin. Though it's important to note that rotating stocks on a monthly basis outside a tax-advantaged account could lead to tax liabilities for short-term capital gains, which are taxed at a higher rate than assets held for over a year. While Lopez-Lira said his findings suggest AI can mimic the services professional portfolio managers provide, some analysts disagree. Michael Robbins, author of Quantitative Asset Management, noted that, while each model's investing strategy may look like it works, there's no way to know for certain. For example, in the new AI era, there hasn't been a massive stock-market crash or an event like the 2008 financial crisis to determine how an AI-led investment account would respond. You're perhaps thinking that humans are shaped by their own memories and experiences, too. But Robbins said that people live through those experiences. It means a person has navigated an event without foresight, perhaps even with a bit of intuition. Meanwhile, the machines are pretrained. That said, he would equate AI's skills to that of an investment manager who recently entered the workforce and is working from textbook knowledge. Additionally, he noted that while both humans and machines make mistakes, AI can hallucinate, causing it to make more extreme, and unacceptable, errors. It's also important to note that the three AI investment accounts on Autopilot only rebalance monthly, so they aren't able to react to any sudden changes. Finally, Lopez-Lira remains in the loop, overseeing the choices and making sure the appropriate information is considered. For that, he receives a small percentage of revenue from the subscriptions that have opted into the account. Lopez-Lira began managing ChatGPT's portfolio in September 2023. The returns, which are based on the aggregate results of client portfolios, are 43.5% from September 2023 to May 30, 2025, according to Autopilot. The S&P 500 had a total return of 34.7% over the same period, according to Dow Jones Market Data. In comparison, Grok's portfolio returned 2.3% since its inception on Feb. 11 of this year through May 30, according to Autopilot. The S&P 500 had a total return that was down 2.2% over the same period, according to Dow Jones Market Data. DeepSeek was down 0.25% since its inception on Feb. 3 through May 30, according to Autopilot. The S&P 500 had a negative total return of 0.93% for the same period, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

Northern Lights Seen Glowing Over Earth in Breathtaking Video Shared by NASA Astronaut: Watch
A NASA astronaut shared a stunning video of the northern lights from space Col. Anne McClain took the footage from the International Space Station The lights, also known as the aurora borealis, were caused by a small geomagnetic stormA NASA astronaut shared a rare and stunning video of the northern lights from space. The footage was shared by Col. Anne McClain, who is onboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft docked at the International Space Station (ISS). She specifically shared her view of the lights — also called the aurora borealis — from the Cupola, which is the dome-shaped panoramic control tower on the station. 'Auroras from space always draw crewmembers to the Cupola. I love how this one illuminated our Dragon, and I also love the dance of satellites on the left in the latter part of the video,' she captioned the video on X. 'It's interesting how the aurora creeps along the top of the atmosphere as it comes up over the horizon,' she added. 'I have added traveling to see auroras from Earth to my bucket list!' In an X post also shared on June 2, NASA astronaut Nichole 'Vapor' Ayers, who is also on the ISS, explained that the 'sun has been pretty active over the last week, which means some phenomenal auroras!' A forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) stated that geomagnetic storms created an increased chance of seeing the Northern Lights this past week, per the BBC. According to NOAA, a geomagnetic storm is a disturbance of Earth's magnetosphere — a.k.a. the region around the planet dominated by a magnetic field. The disturbances occur when there is an exchange of energy between solar wind and the 'space environment' surrounding Earth. NOAA states that while these storms can create beautiful auroras, large storms can disrupt navigation systems and even cause harmful currents to Earth's power grids — though the most recent storms have been too mild to do so. And as to why the northern lights emit different colors? Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. It's dependent on the interaction of space particles with specific gases in the atmosphere, per NASA. Space particles that interact with oxygen produce green or red light, while nitrogen gas produces blue or pink hues. The light emitted from the gases can also appear to blend and mix, creating purple and white light. Read the original article on People

These are the best times to view June's strawberry moon
These are the best times to view June's strawberry moon A strawberry moon will dazzle skywatchers June 11. This year's strawberry moon will be a micromoon – which means it will appear dimmer and smaller than usual – and will be at its fullest at 3:44 a.m. ET, according to NASA. But because it's so early in the day, the best time to view the moon will be June 10, when it rises at sunset, according to LiveScience. The moon is expected to be a shade of gold rather than a vibrant shade of red like a strawberry, if weather conditions allow. The spectacle marks the last full moon before the summer solstice, when we officially say goodbye to spring. The moon also will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer because it will be near its farthest point from Earth. Why is it called the strawberry moon? According to the Almanac, the name "strawberry moon" comes from the Native American Algonquian tribes, who lived in the northwestern United States. The Ojibwe, Dakota and Lakota tribes also used the name, which marked the wild strawberries in June. Where to view the strawberry moon June's full moon will be among the lowest in the sky of the year because of its low arc. Its moonlight will reflect the Earth's atmosphere, giving it a yellow or orange tint. On June 11, the full moon rises in the east shortly before sunset, which makes it the best time to see it from North America. Check the moonrise and moonset times in your location, then pick a site where you can see the eastern horizon at a low angle. You can use an online tool from The Old Farmer's Almanac to determine the local moonrise and moonset times. Try searching your city or ZIP code here. June's phases of the moon The moon takes about 29½ days to revolve around Earth, which is called a lunar cycle, according to the Lunar and Planetary Institute. As the moon moves through its various stages, it experiences several phases of partial light. These range from a banana-shaped crescent moon, a D-shaped quarter moon and a nearly full gibbous moon. When are the full moons in 2025? There are seven full moons remaining this year; three will be supermoons.
