If this worked you wouldn't be selling access, especially not for a one-time fee of $10. You'd be making millions.

You could probably get away with charging a subscription fee.

I am not advertising this as a stock price predictor. This is for people to make valuation models on stocks but the valuation depends on user input.

I'm interesting in learning more about individual stock investing. I mean, I've been doing it for years, but more just on hype. I've been very successful, but I do very little research on fundamentals and I want to do more of that.

So, your tool sounds interesting, but I don't know enough to use it. Do you have a tutorial video or anything that might walk me through a user story on how somebody would use your tool? Or, do you know of a good fundamentals course that would give me the knowledge to be a customer of your tool?

Hey, thank you for the compliment. Aswath Damodaran is a professor at NYU and puts out a lot of good content on valuation. You should check him out.

Great way to test a lot of models, then use subscription fees to fund a bot based on the best performing ones.

A few "trading api" shops did this last time I looked into it.

Two economists were walking down the street. The first economist spotted a £20 note on the ground and stopped to pick it up. The second economist asked "why are you stopping?". The first economist said "to pick up this £20 note". The second economist replied "don't be stupid, if there was a £20 note on the ground somebody would already have taken it". The first economist considered this for a moment, then nodded, and they both walked on.

These statements are hilarious.

You're assuming that every human on earth is extremely selfish.

If what you say is true, there would be no teachers in the world. Because most teachers make less than the students they teach.

There are unselfish people out there.
