• When AI gets really good at picking stocks

  All markets require an edge. Whether you're a pro or a consumer; why do you think companies like fool.com, theinformation.com, explodingideas.co make so much? Everyones out looking for that edge. Source: 10 months ago

• 15k users signed up, 20% of them active, only pulling around $2.5k/mo, should I charge more? How can I tell what I should charge in the first place?

  There is so much hype in that space right now with every coder trying to build something using the openAI api and the open source nature makes a lot of apps in this space a race to the bottom. The code has no moat or sustainability. Therefore you need to either expand horizontally into other complimentary categories (like newsletter, more tech etc.) or vertically by offering higher end products/services. Look at...

• How much money have you made off index funds over the course of your lifetime?

  All that to say, I don't know. I sold a heck of a lot of my silly fool.com buys during this market downturn to avoid capital gains, and now fully loaded on a VTI/VXUS approach. So, I'm hoping for a modest 5-6% over the decades to come. Source: about 1 year ago

• Need help finding simulation business bank accounts + credit cards

  My company made a financial dashboard for small businesses that aggregates information from financial institutions into a simplified view. The problem I need to solve: our only way of showing what it looks like when in use, is by connecting our own bank accounts + credit cards, but of course that exposes our personal info. I'd like to setup a demo account using fake financial data that simulates a real world... Source: 10 months ago

• Need A Solution to Amex Business Credit Card Data

  I have been looking into this and found Plaid, Yodlee, and Flinks. I am not 100% if any of these will work. Source: 11 months ago

• (Canada) Does anyone know of an API service that will users to connect with their personal bank and return things like their bank feed?

  Yeah I fully expect to pay, but I am sure there are companies that do this. It's simply reading data, I am not touching anything within the user's bank account. Places like Australia are quite big on open banking I believe, that allows, with proper verification, to access bank account information. I've just found one company plaid.com, it doesn't have all the institutions I was hoping for but the majority of big... Source: 11 months ago

• Intuits Mint is garbage this year, need other recs for tracking expenses.

  Switching platforms won't help. Every money visualization app on the market uses plaid to fetch their data, so every app will have the same data quality issues. Source: 11 months ago
