Algorithm for Sales Traders

Wait but. If you are trying to buy stock, calling the people who own a lot of that stock is not, you know, that creative. "Call the top five holders of a stock" is literally an algorithm. It is hard to make a robot chat application that can be convincingly human, but it's easy to make a robot chat application that can select the top five holders of a stock and message them "Ahoy friend, I see you own 5,000,000 shares of XYZ stock, do you fancy getting out of it? Good news, the Huskies won last night's game."
