We celebrate a massive family milestone as Crystal officially resigns from her 7-year career with the Alzheimer's Association to focus on their next chapter, while Johnson balances his full-time career at Marsh, running the butcher shop, and a week of family birthdays.But while real life is wonderfully chaotic, the AI trading algorithm is ice cold. In this episode, our hosts drop the cheerleading and get into a fierce debate over our newest, most aggressive roster moves yet.In This Episode:The Human Element: Why automated, set-it-and-forget-it trading is the only way busy professionals and dedicated parents can actually beat Wall Street.The Scoreboard: We celebrate a massive +60% automated profit trigger on Rocket Lab (RKLB) and review how our hard-coded stop-loss perfectly protected our capital on Symbotic (SYM) while Johnson was away from the screen.The High-Beta Debate: With over $700 in cash deployed over the Memorial Day weekend, the hosts clash over our aggressive new catalyst picks: AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) and SentinelOne (S). Are space telecommunications and autonomous AI cybersecurity the perfect plays for a chaotic geopolitical environment, or are we taking on too much risk?The Weekend Workaround: How we bypassed Fidelity's weekend market-order restrictions using exact share-count logic and limit orders to ensure our traps were set for the Tuesday opening bell.The head-to-head rivalry against Dawson Ingram and his Claude AI portfolio continues to heat up.

    Episode 3 - Changing the Batting Order

    Welcome back to the bleachers. Month Two of our year-long automated investing experiment is officially in the books, and the algorithm has officially been battle-tested by global chaos.While the broader Dow Jones Industrial Average has been sent into a tailspin by the April 2026 geopolitical conflicts, oil shocks, and the fragile ceasefire in the Middle East, our fully automated, AI-managed portfolio has remained ice cold. By utilizing strict, hard-coded safety nets and profit targets, we are proving that everyday investors can generate massive Alpha without spending their days staring at a trading screen.In this extended deep-dive episode, we break down our first major automated victory, strategic sector rotations, and the launch of a brand-new, high-stakes rivalry.In This Episode, We Cover:Navigating the Macro Storm: An analysis of the current geopolitical climate, the Strait of Hormuz shipping crisis, and why our portfolio is uniquely positioned to thrive while traditional markets panic.The RXO Victory (+40%): How our asset-light digital freight play stole market share during an oil crisis, triggering our automated Fidelity profit target and locking in a massive win.Rotating into Robotics (SYM): A deep dive into our strategic pivot. We explain why we took our RXO profits and immediately bought into Symbotic (SYM)—the AI-powered autonomous robotic fleets completely taking over warehouse logistics for retail giants.The Roster Review: Why Rocket Lab (RKLB) is exploding on government defense contracts, how SoundHound AI (SOUN) is proving its 60% revenue growth, and why Viking Therapeutics (VKTX) remains the drama-free foundation of the portfolio.Gemini vs. Claude: The stakes have officially been raised. Dawson Ingram has entered the arena with a rival portfolio managed entirely by Anthropic's Claude AI. It is an official, year-long, head-to-head battle. Which artificial intelligence will generate the most real-world profit?Tune in, set your traps, and let the automation do the heavy lifting.

    Episode 2 - AI Beats the Dow

    We are two weeks into The Bleacher Broker experiment, and the algorithm is already flexing its muscles. In our first official check-in, we measure our fully automated, four-stock roster against the broader market. While the Dow Jones battles macro volatility and rising oil prices, our catalyst-driven portfolio is quietly generating Alpha.We review the current scoreboard for Rocket Lab, SoundHound AI, Viking Therapeutics, and RXO to see how the thesis is holding up. More importantly, we verify that our Fidelity automations and safety nets are holding firm, proving that you can beat Wall Street without being glued to a trading screen.

    Episode 1 - The Master Plan

    elcome to the inaugural episode of The Bleacher Broker! In this kickoff, we lay the foundation for a completely hands-off investing experiment managed entirely by artificial intelligence.We take a starting bankroll of $1,120 and deploy it across four highly volatile, catalyst-driven stocks: Rocket Lab (RKLB), SoundHound AI (SOUN), Viking Therapeutics (VKTX), and RXO Inc. (RXO). The mission is simple: generate real-world Alpha without the daily screen time. We break down the core strategy of setting strict, automated stop-losses and profit targets directly in the Fidelity app to protect the downside and let the winners run.Once the traps are set, the portfolio goes on autopilot. Tune in to get the exact execution prices, the safety net numbers, and the baseline for this Gemini-managed portfolio before the market throws its first curveball!
