The video page is the main learning path. This guide is the supporting article library and responsible investor market research reference.
AI Privacy Rule
Keep sensitive information out of general AI prompts, including names, family details, email addresses, phone numbers, account data, customer records, employee files, financial records, legal documents, medical information, and confidential business details. Use placeholders, redacted examples, or approved systems when needed, and keep human review before important actions. AI Privacy Rules
Use AI for market research support, not financial advice.
AI can help draft, organize, summarize, compare, and prepare research materials. Individual users remain responsible for investment selections, trades, portfolio adjustments, tax strategies, and final financial decisions.
- Protect brokerage credentials, account numbers, balances, tax data, bank codes, and portfolio records.
- Verify tickers, sources, dates, risk statements, filings, and report summaries manually.
- Never use AI for asset valuation, price prediction, tax calculations, or automated trades.
- Document sources, prompts, edits, reviewers, and final use.

Review-first investor research AI
AI can help users draft, summarize, organize, compare, structure, and prepare market research materials. Individual users remain responsible for source verification, investment selections, trades, portfolio adjustments, tax strategies, and final financial decisions.
- Protect sensitive financial data: do not expose brokerage credentials, bank codes, real balances, tax records, private credit metrics, or account details.
- Ground the source: rely on primary filings, official company announcements, verified reports, prospectuses, audited statements, and secure internal records.
- Review every output: especially summaries, asset comparisons, ticker references, filings, risk triage notes, broker research, and report QA.
- Do not use AI as a fiduciary: AI is not a financial planner, stockbroker, tax adviser, or legal counsel.
- Do not trust AI math: valuations, returns, taxes, allocations, ratios, balances, and price projections must be handled in secure tools and verified manually.
