Indeed, the software I worked on here in my home state back when I was interested in long term investment is still about today, 14+ years back it was broken into parts and sold on, here's one section, now run more or less "as was" by S&P

Our clients way back when were mostly all billionaires, some personal, some corporate; between client discussions, GIS data linking, trends, etc we were able to get a line on a bunch of penny stocks that were selling then ( ~2003 ) for 2c (AU) and now trade at $20+ each.

None of that came from looking at day trading, it came from deeply looking at global energy and resource demands against known and suspected sources as yet unexploited.
