Interfering.

Well, on Thursday he kind of came out swinging and said that the buybacks announced on Wednesday could be even bigger than initially announced.

And he also registered his kind of a displeasure with the gradual rise in US yields.

Which was a kind of

oblique dig at investors selling US government debt.

Well, US government debt has been selling off for a while now.

So I don't know if this week's moves have uh proved that vigilantes are back en masse.

But the bond market has certainly been signalling for a while now that lots of investors are worried about US debt inflation, the amount of bonds that are being issued right now by some of the big AI companies too and

vigilantes, if you want to call them that, could be expected to have more of an impact going forward if Besson tries again to keep a lid on yields.

Thanks.

Hello.

So they've rolled out a new feature that will allow customers to link their AI agents, chatbots, Claude, ChatGPT to their Robinhood accounts.

And basically the agent, the AI agent execute trades on their behalf.

This is a few months after eToro, another retail trading platform, rolled out a similar feature.

And, you know, it's only a matter of time before other competitors get involved, I'd guess, because there's a big overlap between people who use ChatGPT and Claude and people who play the stock market, particularly in the US.

And cynically, the more Robinhood customers trade, whether that's through ChatGPT or another bot or on their own, the more fees that Robinhood collect.

Yeah, so you download this new feature on the Robinhood trading platform and then you can kind of sync up whichever AI chatbot agent you use and then allow the AI agent to kind of execute trades on your behalf.

So you could say every time this stock declines by 3%, buy more or vice versa, or adjust my portfolio if the inflation report on Thursday comes in hotter than expected and so on and so forth.

Well, hedge funds and institutional investors use AI to help them trade all of the time.

I think the experiment here is extending that kind of AI element to retail investors who otherwise use Robinhood and execute their trades manually.
