Article Summary

Apple Stock Forecast: No Interest iPhone Plan Is A Tailwind
Apple’s newest iPhones are on the expensive side for smartphones. Apple’s stock is now a good investment because it is willing to be more aggressive in marketing its pricey iPhone products.

Deep Learning Finance: Artificial Neural Networks and Deep Learning
To many, the idea of a neural network is a somewhat confusing one, and can be a source of questions when speaking to its use in finance. Neural networks are modeled after the way the human brain works, and these give computers the capability to recognize patterns, faces, etc. It’s the technology that allows us to teach computers to drive cars once they have been taught over hundreds of thousands of tests.

Data can be collected on a massive scale and leveraged by AI neural networks which can sift through the data and understand where there are patterns and in doing so optimize the efficiency of the marketing.This is the technology we use to drive our predictive algorithm, an incredibly complex and powerful neural network that has been trained on millions of data points and years of historical data to spot market patterns and trends.
