Will AI Trade Stocks Better Than Us?

**LGD Set** (0:06)
What's up, everybody? It's LGD Set here, and welcome to Milk Road AI, the daily AI show that can't take another big swing on a sunny summer Monday, but knows that we're gonna keep seeing them for years to come. Today is July 20th, 2026 We recorded this a week earlier, on the 13th. One of the big narratives right now is of course, agentic trading. But what does that actually look like in practice? Can these AI agents actually take over our trading and investing? And how much do we, as curious but very emotional humans, need to guide these agents to do a good job? To take us through how this might be done in the future, we've invited the head of one of the biggest names in online finance to show us his setup, tell us how he got started, and what he thinks is coming next in the market. Gav Blaxberg, founder at Wolf Financial, is on the show with us today. And before we start, our analysts made 20 moves last week, right as the market is starting to probably rotate. After calling Micron, AMD, Bloom, and a lot of other AI runners earlier this year, they've actually opened some new positions for the next leg up. You can see what they're calling next for just a dollar in Milk Road PRO at the link below. Today's episode is brought to you by BitGet, Stocks 2 with real liquidity, real dividends, and Securitize, the regulated rails for tokenization.
Gav, what's up, man? Welcome to the show.

Hey, thanks so much for having me.

**LGD Set** (1:17)
Dude, I'm really excited to talk to you, man, because ever since I started to look more at the stock market, at AI stuff, because I was in crypto for a long time, shamefully and proudly, you guys have been one of the biggest names on X and social media on YouTube, and you're the head of it. So we really do this with our guests. But tell me about you, man. How did you get started? How did you build such a giant like Wolf Financial?

**Gav Blaxberg** (1:40)
Appreciate the kind words. It's been a long journey, and it's exciting because we are just at the start of it still, but about, I would say, several years ago, I got really interested in the idea of retail investors participation in the market. This came actually during, if people remember this, Kodak had a moment where they changed some things in their stock, and Kodak stock flew to the upside. Now, I was already in the finance industry. I worked at Goldman Sachs in private wealth management. I'd worked at a shop called Versa Capital Management as well in private equity. But for me, really, the moment was in the public markets, seeing Kodak do that spike. It came back down, but I realized, hey, that wasn't institutional money. It was retail money, and it's definitely interested in the market, and there's more that it could do. It had always been maybe 10%, 15%, but it started to grow during COVID. I started writing research papers and started realizing, hey, there's real participation here, and there's a lot of people that are interested in this. And so I started building on social media. And really, that started with just posting to social and then eventually starting to host a live show. That live show then became a daily live show. I then became really the number one finance person for Twitter Spaces as well. I briefly worked for Twitter and helped them build out the product to make it as perfect as possible for the audience, and then just rolled into that. At this point, I've probably hosted 10,000 plus hours of live streams covering the stock market. We have all types of guests from Elon Musk, Kathy Wood, Vlad Tanev, Chris Camillo and Amit, who I was just on with, a variety of others. And so over the years, I really just focused on trying to build an apparatus that educates and provides content to people that are interested in investing and trading in the stock market. And then on the other side, of course, from a business perspective, I then connect those people with ETF firms and Fintech firms and finance firms that are looking to reach them. So that's kind of what we've built in short.

What have you learned about those types of high-profile guests in your five years of doing all these spaces with them? Like, what stands out? Are they just like everybody else, or are they really quite elevated in their financial savviness?

**Gav Blaxberg** (3:36)
I mean, there's a really big spectrum, and there's all different types of people, and how you approach them, and how they will talk back to you, how long they speak at a given time, how elaborate they are with their thoughts. I think we've seen so many different people, so there's not one fits all in this area, but I think maybe one of the common thematics that I've seen is that these people are people that are willing to actually do the research and do the homework, and they're not just talking when the camera's on, they're actually doing it behind the scenes. And so that's one of the big things that I've kind of taken away from this, is if you want to be a successful investor and you want to be a successful trader, you've always had to actually put in the work, whether it's in the morning, doing your charts, when the market closes, then seeing, all right, where did things actually hit? Having a plan where you're enter and exit. Now, some of this is starting to change a little bit with AI. That's become a big thing here. It's becoming an analyst for people. It's actually doing a lot of the work. But yeah, all different types of people across the spectrum, but listen, they're always interesting. That's maybe the other common factor.
