Not too late to make good on tax and financial resolutions – Winnipeg Free Press

August 7, 2024

Yes, I realize that the third week of January is a little late for new year resolutions. But I think that’s good.

ChatGPT may be able to predict stock movements: finance professor

April 26, 2023
ChatGPT could be the next stock forecaster, according to this finance professor

Alejandro Lopez-Lira, a finance professor at the University of Florida, says that large language models may be useful when forecasting stock prices.
