The Friday Roundup - Week 18/2024
A weekly digest of business and technology insights
🔊 Announcment:
Since I started RhinoInsight in 2023, I've been eager to share also my experience about how I use software and AI to enhance the research and investment process, particularly when it comes to the vast amounts of textual data that is available today.
One of Man Institute’s articles, Alternative Data: The Key to Predicting the Next Banking Crisis?, served as the main source of inspiration for me to leverage the latest advancements in Large Langauge Models (LLM) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), and gain insights beyond financial ratios.
So, over the next few months, I'm planning to share more of the following topics in sperate write-ups 👇
Practical Use Cases: Learn how to leverage software and AI during the research and investment process, including (FREE) code examples for further usage
Introduction to Financial Data Sources and APIs: Explore financial data sources like YahooFinance, Polygon.io, FinancialModelingPrep, Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), Openinsider, RedditAPI
While not everything is set in stone yet, if you have any ideas or topics you’re interested in, please share them in the comments. I’ll do my best to cover them over the next few months 👇
Further details will be shared in a separate post next week.
