Skeptical of frontier chat products' stock picks (calling them noise-driven and prone to steering new investors toward stocks already at their peak), this person built their own process instead: read sector news and headlines, screen for stocks in a low cycle with decent volume, then pull fundamentals, sentiment, and trade-plan arguments on both sides. Manually, digesting that for one stock takes 30 minutes to an hour; a local model does the digesting in seconds and can then spend 15–30 minutes doing deeper, iterative research per stock. They recommend at least a Gemma 4 31B class model with 100K context for this to work well, and say it's turned trading from a 1–2 hour daily habit into about three hours a week.
