I started writing weekly blog posts way back in late 2018! I target one every week, but sometimes it’s every two weeks. I write them because it’s a way for me to focus and summarize my thoughts on the markets and to express what I think is important. It is also a way for me to let my clients know that I am always thinking of them!
As you may be aware, I have been playing around with the artificial intelligence utility called ChatGPT to see if it has any direct business uses for D&A. Right now, it is mostly a fun toy to play around with but I don’t doubt that one day its power will make it invaluable for all aspects of business and society.
One of the major uses of ChatGPT is to analyze and summarize large blocks of text and data. It can also “write” blog posts on selected topics, but I have not used it for this purpose and will continue to write my own original blog posts. However, one good use of this ChatGPT functionality is to help me analyze all 260 blog posts I have written over the past 5 years to help me summarize the main themes I have covered.
Per the table below, I think it did a good job summarizing my focus over the last 5 years! I am happy to report that the lion’s share of the thoughts expressed from my blog posts centered on market analysis and investment strategies (50%) since that is where I strive to provide the highest level of service to our clients. The second tier of focus dealt with specific asset classes (20%) and then retirement planning (15%) with the remainder dealing with behavioral finance and other topics.
Occasionally, I will write blog posts pertaining to a specific client concern or situation (anonymously, of course!) So, if there are any unmet needs for clarification on certain strategies I have employed or if anyone simply would like to read my thoughts on a certain topic, please reach out and I will work on it for you. Thanks!
