Every day, more than 2.5 Quintillion bytes of data is generated. With data being available at that a huge scale, we need systems that analyse the data faster, in order to provide real time responses. Quicker Analysis, Data compression, and storage are few of the most important aspects that companies are competing to optimize. Intel(INTC) announced its strategic, cross-Intel organisation - Artificial Intelligence Products Group(AIPG), post its acquisition of the
In order to stay alive, all businesses in or near the maturity stage have the need foresee the future of the market and quickly adapt to these changes in consumer behaviour and trends. There's an ongoing need to have flexible, growth oriented strategies. A couple of ways to do this is to shift their focus on their new products and scrap old loss making ones, or acquire promising up-and-coming startups.
AI and robotics have slowly and steadily become a ubiquitous part of our everyday lives. Smart phones have become smarter with the advent of personal assistants like Siri. These intelligent machines work, react and learn like humans. They recognise speech and facial patterns, analyse and solve real life problems. Alexa was recently in the news for calling the cops, saving a person from a threatening situation. Robotics and AI are
Like anything else in life, your chances of becoming a wildly successful stock investor squarely rest on your ability to pick the right stocks on a daily basis. “Daily tiny wins” – you may call it.

Let’s
In the wake of recent technology advances and evolution of the robo-advisory phenomenon the imperatives of financial advisors have significantly changed over the last 2 years or so. Besides the price advantages that rob-advisors were able to pass on to clients due to the scale provided by tech, companies like Wealthfront and Betterment did a really swell job of winning the confidence of young investors. The best (human) financial advisors,
Twitter (NASDAQ: TWTR) has probably been the most underperforming stock of the decade considering how deeply it seems to be embedded in the lives of the people who "are on it" regularly. It might just be trumped by Snap Inc (NASDAQ: SNAP) over time but that's another story. Two clear reasons why the Twitter stock has remained a laggard is the stagnant user growth and fall in advertising revenues. Like most social networking
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) has been a constant subject of study for tech industry watchers. There are more than 500 stocks in the still burgeoning technology sector. Many if not most of these stocks have given good returns over the last year or so. And AMD has doubled as well.

Life of an early stage business is like that of a toddler. You see her after a few months and "suddenly", she's able to walk & make some conversation. Stockal will, sort of, be in that stage for a couple more years. So when you get a note from us every other month, we will hopefully have something significant to share. Always. Also, as a young company you're pulling multiple levers (pardon

Looking closely, these are not small issues to deal with. Setting and managing expectations is something every investment advisor
Yesterday, Spark Therapeutics, Inc (NASDAQ:ONCE) saw a 35% decline. This was due to an increased negative sentiment for the stock. At the American Society of Hematology’s (ASH) annual meeting, ONCE presented rather disappointing data on their trials of their experimental drug to treat Hemophilia-A. Spark’s data showed that though its therapy reduced bleeding, the drug showed smaller increases in levels a clotting protein that patients with hemophilia are missing, as
