Artificial Intelligence Investment for the Next Major Market Rally
Main Post:
We all know the common Google, Amazon using AI to improve speech detection and search along with many other things. IBM has Watson. Tesla uses AI for self driving.
AI is todays revolution like the internet was.
A lesser known play that is financially sound is ICAD. AI for cancer detection is disruptive technology that is only beginning to be adopted. Just last week Google partnered with ICAD to adopt their not yet commercial algorithm into the ICAD profound breast cancer detection suite. Its a interesting play that I think is a multibagger going into next year where they will be closer to being profitable.
Any other less appreciated AI plays out there that will catch this ongoing disruptive revolution?
Please share especially if it’s like ICAD financially sound with little debt and less discovered. It was during the pandemic but somehow forgotten even when Google partnered last week. I personally think when tax loss selling is over it will explode upward and the Google news will get valued in.

Does the investment property market make sense?
Main Post:
I spoke to 3 financial planners and all of them put me in touch with their respective property contacts who continued to sell me on the benefits of owning investment property which mostly came down to tax relief.
They all advised me to purchase land and build on it; asserting that through the use of deductibles, rental yield and using refinancing as a means of untaxed (as long as you don't sell) cash flow, a balanced property investment is the only worthwhile investment one could make while also advising against apartment purchases.
Rather than selling, you would just buy more and more land+houses and refinance against capital growth whenever you needed money for things.
This got me thinking; If the reason you buy land+house is because it's profitable due to legislative tax incentives and "everyone" is buying property for the tax relief - doesn't that mean demand (and price) is driven by investors looking for tax relief and not genuine demand for housing?
Could this lead to tax haven ghost towns?
Doesn't that make the capital growth of property brittle in the face of legislative changes? Most of that legislation was introduced in the last 30 years, following which there was a spike in property prices.
On the surface, it sounds like property prices are driven up by what is essentially welfare and the lack of supply is due to an incentive designed to produce sprawl.
Furthermore; looking at how population density in major Australian cities is increasing makes me wonder if there would be demand from tenants to live in a house that's an hour+ by train from the CBD.
Lastly; property prices are increasing in the face of income stagnation - who, if not investors looking for tax relief, is buying property?
Does the property market make sense from an investment standpoint?
How long could this go on?

The people you met are salespeople who make a cut out of selling you on buying new property.
The primary reason people buy new house and land as an investment is because they don't know better or someone sold it to them. They'd usually do much better out of buying established property despite the tax benefits of depreciation when buying new.
I don't think we'll see many ghost towns as most areas have a mix of owner occupiers and investors in them. The exception to this rule being cyclical areas like mining towns.
Regarding your question about income stagnation and population density. This is basically the case for buying established property closer to the CBD in major cities rather than less scarce properties in outer suburbs. You can't make more land close to the city which results in houses being knocked down to build density making them more scarce over time when they stay as houses, as the population grows you have more people competing over these fewer houses driving prices up as they get purchased by an increasingly lower portion of income earners who compete for them. Or if you own a house which is developed into apartments you have the benefit of selling the land to a developer who then sells it to multiple families allowing the value of the land to increase to match the capacity of those buying properties which use less land content per dwelling.
I think I ruined this traders market investment. Oh well, off loaded my items and collected tears.

Tell him you'll sell them all at his requested price point, but only to him.
Then you'll be out of the market and he can go back to getting his profits without competition.

How to learn to invest in stocks as a beginner?
Main Post:
Hi everyone! I’m 19 and currently studying a tech-related degree in a pretty good uni. I’ll be starting my first job next year, and I recently dipped my toes into the stock market – about two months ago, actually. So far, I’m up by about 15%, but it feels like I just got lucky rather than making informed decisions. I’d love some advice on how to truly learn the ropes and invest in a way that’s sustainable and well-informed.
Here are a few questions I have:
- What should I be looking for when researching stocks? Should my focus be more on the performance of the stock itself or on the fundamentals of the company? And in either case, what are the key indicators I should watch?
- Where can I find reliable information and resources? Are there specific books, websites, YouTubers, podcasts, or other sources you’d recommend? How do I sort the useful info from the “noise” or bad advice? And, is there a way to learn to anticipate market trends? If so - how to learn to do that?
- What annual growth should I aim for? I know it’s a broad question, and obviously, the higher, the better. But realistically, what percentage growth would indicate that I’m doing reasonably well? Or, what range should I consider a good vs. a poor result?
- Any general tips or tricks for a beginner? Anything you wish you knew when you first started or that helped you along the way?
Just to clarify, I’m not looking for quick ways to get rich or any “invest here for an immediate return” type of advice. I want to grow my account over the long term and really wish to understand how to invest wisely – so any insights on learning to do that would be amazing. Thanks in advance!
