I've not looked at a newspaper stock table in years. It is yesterdays news and you are buying or selling today. So much has changed. You can buy and sell with zero commissions. There is no advantage to buy or sell round lots. You can buy partial shares. Treasuries. In days of old they paid the rate of inflation plus 2%. In retirement you would build a bond ladder. The 2% would cover your taxes-zero risk.
In terms of AI the new buzzword. AI implies learning. I am and always have been a terrible speller. Word, is not AI yet we all use it. I would expect for a stock table they purchase similar programs to word-excel etc
