Turning an hour of stock research per ticker into minutes

Local models take over the reading and summarizing side of manual stock analysis, cutting a research routine from hours a day to a few hours a week.

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.

The pipeline

  1. Read sector news and headlines.
  2. Screen for stocks in a low cycle with decent volume.
  3. Pull fundamentals, sentiment, and trade-plan arguments on both sides.

Why local

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. The author recommends at least a Gemma 4 31B class model with 100K context for this to work well, and says it turned trading from a 1-2 hour daily habit into about three hours a week.
