AI CAN Forecast Stock Price Movements?
The foundational study “Can ChatGPT Forecast Stock Price Movements? Return Predictability and Large Language Models” catalyzed the Proof of Concept for Bifin AI was spearheaded by the distinguished researchers Alejandro Lopez-Lira and Yuehua Tang from Florida University in 2023. This groundbreaking research delved into the capabilities of generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) models to interpret market sentiments and execute informed financial decisions based on these analyses. Over the course of 15 months, their untrained GPT model not only navigated through the volatile waters of the US markets but also achieved a staggering 550% return, starkly contrasting the market’s downtrend during the same period. This remarkable outcome underscored the potential of AI in revolutionizing financial decision-making, setting the stage for the development of Silk. The full details of this transformative study can be explored further in their publication, accessible here.5
