Prospero.Ai helps retail investors make headway on Wall Street

A new fintech company is making waves by helping retail investors fight back against Wall Street.

NEW YORK, July 22, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — A new fintech company is making waves by helping retail investors fight back against Wall Street.

Prospero.Ai is an app that is catching on among at-home Wall Street bettors – mainly because it’s giving them the power they have so long craved: an opportunity to make headway in the stock market even when competing against the big budgets and research arms of the large financial institutions and hedge funds that dominate the market.

Alongside its app, the company teaches retail investors how to make sound stock picks based on an analysis of the company’s unique and powerful stock market signals. The stock signals simplify and visualize what stocks are high and what stocks are low in the marketplace, based on a variety of factors including how institutions are making bets in the options market. The combined information has led to their newsletter stock picks beating their S&P 500 benchmarks by 85% on an annualized basis in 2024. (As of 06/28/24) The 2024 results come after beating the S&P 500 by 47% in 2023 and 71% in 2022.

Prospero.Ai CEO and founder George Kailas has built trust among an army of loyal retail investors turned app users after his own stint working for a hedge fund and a mortgage banker in the early 2000s.

“Whether it was the summer I spent in Mortgage Finance at Bear Stearns in the summer of ’06 or various positions on the buy and sell side on Wall Street, I saw the same themes: a stacked deck for institutions. Not only that, but whenever they used those stacked decks to build their sometimes shoddy houses of cards, did those that profited off the rise pay the price? No. That bill was handed time and time again to the American taxpayers,” Kailas said.

Kailas’ deep experience in Finance and AI is the backbone for the stock market signals– given away for free in the Prospero.Ai app.

“The stock signals cut through the noise and show where institutions are betting, not the stories they want to sell you in woefully insufficient reporting structures like 13F statements

We’re beating them at their own game. Instead of just believing what they say they’re doing, we’re watching our signals tell us what they’re actually doing– and it’s not the same thing,” Kailas said.

For example, an aggressive short sale campaign against Super Micro Computers (SMCI), a computing company specialized in AI applications, appeared to be sending the message that the company had reached its peak. But the Prospero.Ai stock signals showed the majority of financial institutions were still favoring the stock. It ended up being a slam dunk win for Prospero.Ai users. SMCI went up 40 percent the same day it was placed in the Prospero.Ai high conviction picks.

“Wall Street is known for talking out of both sides of their mouth. In the case of SMCI, people are saying publicly that it’s overvalued and shorting the stock, but when we look at Net Options Sentiment, our signal that tracks options bets of large financial institutions, we see they are betting on the stock to rise in the options markets. So their secret actions are directly refuting their public actions,” Kailas said.

Following the signals and sticking to rigorous investment principles is something Kailas, the primary architect of the signals, has sometimes had to learn the hard way, he said. For example, Kailas said he watched META rank at the top of a signal that determines good long term investments for two months before he finally put it on the stock pick list in February of 2023. Since then META has been up 172 percent.

“Our signals have shown time and time again that it’s better to align with institutional bets rather than be swayed by public opinion or even short activity, because both can be manipulated. Part of what Prospero.Ai does for our users is teach them how to invest as much as it simplifies investing,” Kailas said.

Users seem to be responding well to the strategy too. Partially powered by the enthusiasm of the meme stock craze and a general exhaustion of growing divide between the one-percent and the middle class, the company user base is growing rapidly. The app has users in 163 countries and both of their newsletters rank in the top 150 finance publications on Substack.

It is free to use the stock market signals in the Prospero.Ai app, and the company also gives away free stock picks each week. It offers additional stock picks and market research in weekly trade updates in paid newsletters. The company plans to build its next generation tools and paid trade alerts after its Seed round is complete. Kailas said his aspiration for Prospero.Ai is to be the asset manager of choice for retail investors.

“I didn’t build this company so I could become rich. If I do, that’s a by-product, because the mission for Prospero.Ai is bigger than me. Our mission is to help everyday people build the American dream that was supposed to be, but so far hasn’t turned out in the last few decades. People need to be able to earn a living that can lead to a good life and eventually retirement. Hopefully, our mission can reignite the growth of the middle class by making stock market success more attainable,” Kailas said.

June 21, 2026

SINGAPORE, June 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) 2026, BlueNexus Technologies unveiled the global debut of AquaX Hub™ — a compact plug-and-play edge device that brings full AI-powered autonomous operation to standalone water equipment and legacy treatment plants. The launch drew sustained engagement from utilities, industrial operators and engineering firms.

The water sector confronts converging pressures: aging infrastructure, a critical shortage of skilled technicians, and relentless operational cost escalation. AquaX Hub™ answers these directly — extending the AI autonomous operation already proven plant-wide by AquaX Robot™ to a single asset, and delivering comparable monitoring and operational management without a control-system overhaul.

“The industry cannot hire its way out of this problem,” said Jack Zhang, CEO of BlueNexus Technologies. “AI autonomous operation is no longer a future concept — the barrier to entry is gone.”

The AquaX Ecosystem

BlueNexus has built the industry’s first fully integrated AI autonomous water operation platform, spanning three complementary pillars:

AquaX Robot™ is the flagship plant-wide AI agent, built on large language models with proprietary vision, acoustic and infrared multimodal sensing. It optimizes treatment processes 24/7 and predicts equipment failures. Live deployments show up to 90% reduction in on-site staffing, a 50% drop in equipment breakdowns, and approximately 35% lower O&M costs.

AquaX Hub™, making its global debut at SIWW 2026, is a lightweight edge terminal extending that capability to any water system. With an independent local processing module, it monitors and inspects equipment through multimodal sensing and runs a self-contained processing loop. The device integrates seamlessly with existing SCADA, cloud and enterprise platforms via standardized APIs.

i-WaterHub™, the company’s standardized modular treatment plant, operated autonomously by AquaX Robot, delivers 2,500 to 40,000 m³/day for municipal and industrial applications.

Market Momentum

SIWW 2026 convened nearly 500 exhibitors from over 65 countries. BlueNexus has identified priority markets for AquaX Hub™ in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa. “The conversations this week have already translated into concrete business opportunities and we expect rapid deployment in the coming months.” Zhang confirmed.

About BlueNexus Technologies

Pope Leo XIV embraces paediatric patients at CNAO in Pavia

Published

June 20, 2026

PAVIA, Italy, June 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The National Center for Oncological Hadrontherapy (CNAO) served as the first stop today during Pope Leo XIV’s pastoral visit to the city of Pavia. His choice to begin his journey at this center reflects a profound commitment to fostering meaningful dialogue between advanced scientific progress and the alleviation of human suffering.

CNAO President Gianluca Vago and General Manager Sandro Rossi received His Holiness, illustrating the center’s distinctive capabilities. CNAO stands out as a unique reality in Italy, remaining one of the very few facilities worldwide capable of delivering hadrontherapy using both protons and carbon ions. The technological core of the facility is its synchrotron, a subatomic particle accelerator that generates ultra-high-precision beams to treat complex, inoperable and radioresistant tumours. This cutting-edge technology allows for the targeted eradication of diseased cells while meticulously preserving surrounding healthy tissues, drastically improving patients’ survival and quality of life.

Furthermore, CNAO is expanding its capabilities as a premier multi-center utilizing new ion species, like Helium, later Oxygen and Neon. Soon, treatments will incorporate the Leo Cancer Care upright positioning and imaging system. The immediate future also includes beginning therapies with a Hitachi dedicated proton accelerator and gantry and a BNCT system for metastatic diseases, equipped with an electrostatic accelerator produced by TAE Life Science. With these new technologies, CNAO will become one of the most technologically advanced center in the world.

To date, over six thousand individuals, including approximately three hundred children and adolescents, have benefited from these life-saving treatments.

During his visit, the Pope engaged with CNAO’s Board of Directors, a collaborative body uniting national universities, clinical institutions, and research centers. He also extended his heartfelt greetings to the two hundred employees of the center. These doctors, physicists, engineers, and researchers tirelessly operate the advanced technologies in the service of oncology patients.

The emotional pinnacle of the day was the Holy Father’s private gathering with a delegation of young children who underwent treatment. The paediatric patients and their families shared a deeply touching moment of closeness, receiving the Pope’s comforting embrace.

“The visit of Pope Leo XIV honours us and represents a moment of extraordinary human value”, stated CNAO President Gianluca Vago. “In his encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, the Holy Father emphasizes the necessity of a science that constantly safeguards the centrality of the person and directs technology toward the common good. In a time marked by global tensions, CNAO testifies daily how the incredible power of the atom can be used not to destroy, but to heal. The particle beams we utilize against disease are, symbolically, Rays of Hope, sharing and supporting the IAEA project bearing this name. The embrace the Holy Father reserved for our children reminds us that scientific research finds its most authentic purpose when it encounters listening, compassion, and hope”.
