Retail Stock Investors Can Now Imitate the Pros With AI Trading Tools
Artificial intelligence trading tools that analyze reams of data and build portfolios are already shaking up Wall Street. But as they increasingly become available to retail investors, the entire stock market is in for a seismic transformation.
The retail crowd owns roughly 25% of the US stock market directly and over 60% indirectly through individual retirement accounts, 401(K)s and the like, according to calculations by Barclays Plc. They're known for loyalty to a handful of high-flyers, like technology giants Tesla Inc. and Nvidia Corp., and a fascination with highly volatile so-called meme stocks like GameStop Corp. In many cases, their trading is disconnected from the underlying fundamentals of the shares they're buying.

With over 40 years of experience in the data storage industry, Wenner brings operational expertise and experience in scaling novel manufacturing processes to accelerate the company's growth and meet the increasing demand for NovoLINC's breakthrough thermal interface solution. A critical thermal management challenge is rapidly arising at the heart of the race for next-generation AI data centers. Flagship GPUs now demand up to 1,200W per device, with that power density expected to triple in the next two years. Traditional thermal interface materials (TIMs) have become the weakest link in the system, unable to keep pace with the performance and reliability demands of modern AI systems. NovoLINC's breakthrough nanostructured thermal interface solution is engineered to eliminate this bottleneck, and the company is already working with leading semiconductor companies, hyperscalers, and AI infrastructure providers to dramatically improve thermal performance, increase compute reliability, and reduce data center energy consumption in the AI era. "Bob has extensive leadership experience across operations, engineering, and manufacturing; he has driven innovation and operational excellence at the industry's top companies," said Ning Li, Ph.D, CEO and co-founder of NovoLINC. "We are very fortunate to have Bob come on board at this critical time as we are seeing incredible customer pull for our innovation.
