If you’re skeptical of AI, then this is for you.
I say it all the time, but it keeps coming up during webinars, so I have to say it again…
AI agents are the future. And it’s beautiful. Even my mentor Tim Sykes (who admits he isn’t great with tech) uses AI to help with this…
“The most important 15-minutes of my trading day” – Tim Sykes
The Big Picture
Again, some people are skeptical. Others don’t know how to get started. Some are concerned about data.
I get all that. But know this: we live in the greatest time in history and the time to start is now. If you’re not using AI agents in your life and work, I think you’re crazy.
It’s up to you. But I’m a nerd from WAY back, and I’m telling you…
AI is the greatest technology in the history of mankind.
Now, everyone knows I’m bullish AI. So, this isn’t about the AI trade.
I keep going on about it, but that’s because so many students, readers, YouTube subscribers, friends…
Even experienced day traders keep asking questions that make me want to shout it out loud…
AI Is Bigger Than Fire
It’s bigger than electricity. It’s bigger than the internal combustion engine.
I have NEVER seen anything like it.
And remember…
I Was There for the First Personal Computer
I got an Apple II when it first came out. I was “the computer guy” in high school and started an internet company in 1994. In other words, I helped build the internet.
I was there for the mobile phone.
You name it, I’ve been at the forefront of every technological advancement post-1980. And I’m telling you…
There’s NEVER been a more impactful, more useful, more powerful technology than AI (particularly with the arrival of agents).
AI Is Bigger Than Any Innovation In the History of Mankind
And we live in the greatest time in history.
If you’re not using it, you’re crazy. I use AI in my life, for trading, for health, for everything I possibly can.
For new people, I recommend Grok Bot. Just get it and give it things to do. Anything that you need to do on a day-to-day basis, repetitive work, monotonous work… That’s where you get started.
You do NOT need a tutorial or a manual. You don’t need any of that because it is a super intelligence. Give it some stuff to do. Then talk to it…. “Hey, now that we’ve accomplished this, what else can we do?”
Try this:
“Hey Grok Bot, Tim tells me I should have a trade journal. What should I do?”
“Hey, Tim says I should create a spreadsheet to track all my trades. How do we do that?”
My Take
I’m not here to debate whether you should use Anthropic, OpenAI, Grok, or local models. I use everything. I’ve invested a significant amount of money in hardware to run local models, and I pay subscription fees for the others.
None of that matters. What matters is that you get started. Just start somewhere. Today.
Watchlist
After-hours on Tuesday (Sept 8), former runner SUNation Energy (NASDAQ: SUNE) announced an “$835M capital raise to build a second major U.S. solar cell manufacturing facility.”
SUNE, 9/8/26 after-hours to 9/9/26, news catalyst
SUNE was on the Oracle algo yesterday (Sept. 9) and hit the signal not long after the open. It ran perfectly to the sell zone. If SUNE continues to hold anywhere in the mid to high $3s, watch for a day-two continuation. If it chops sideways today, watch for a day-three surge tomorrow.
On My Radar
- Consumer Price Index (CPI) releases tomorrow (Sept. 11) at 8:30 a.m. ET
- Prayers to family, friends, and those who lost their lives 25 years ago
- Oil is back above $100 per barrel
- Which increases the chance of a rate hike at next week’s FOMC meeting
