DIY Stock Investing Using Free AI

I’ll admit I was skeptical: another ‘AI for investing’ book promising to turn me into Warren Buffett 2.0? But *DIY Stock Investing Using Free AI* won me over by doing something radical—it *shows*, not tells. Pekman doesn’t just name-drop AI tools; he walks you through setting up a free screener to flag stocks with unusual options activity or using natural language processing to parse earnings call transcripts for red flags. The virtual narrator’s delivery is functional—almost robotic at times—but it weirdly works for this material. You’re not here for dramatic flair; you’re here for step-by-step instructions, and the narration’s steady pace makes it easy to pause and try things in real time. That said, this isn’t for absolute beginners. Pekman assumes you know basic terms like P/E ratios or moving averages, and the audio format occasionally frustrates when he references visual tools (a PDF companion would’ve helped). The real gem is Chapter 4, where he breaks down how to reverse-engineer hedge fund filings using free SEC databases—a tactic I’ve never seen explained so clearly. My only gripe? The last 30 minutes feel rushed, cramming risk management tips into what could’ve been its own section. Still, for the self-directed investor who’s comfortable tinkering, this is one of the few audiobooks that might actually *change* how you research stocks—without selling you a $99/month subscription.
