Has anyone played around with looking at Claude/ChatGPT/Grok on what they should do with X amount of money in the stock market?
I have been prompting it and asking questions such as "You are a seasoned wall street fund manager, how would you manage $50,000 to grow by 10% at the end of 2026? Use news no older than 2 weeks to give advise and follow the most recent earnings releases for companies that you are recommending"
I have not execute or changed my portfolio based on it yet, but looking at the picks from the last two prompts showed some potential upside.

If you are expecting a silver bullet you are going to lose money.
Wall Street had spent money on this for decades before it is called AI

Not looking for a silver bullet. Just was curious what the board has done/seen with it.

Bad, very bad, borderline retarded idea

I just use AI for supplementing research. I wouldn't ever use it to manage.

This is what I am currently doing. Just another data point in what I do on my own.

You could start off asking it for a better prompt...

Today AI (ChatGPT) could not tell me who the last principal of my kids high school was. He just retired last year and I was wanting to look up his name for something I was doing. AI first returned the current superintendent, when I informed AI it was wrong, it came back with the previous head football coach. In both instances it painted a believable narrative it was correct.
A regular web search returned the first listed site with the correct information.
Good luck on those stock picks

I asked AI for the "pick and shovels" of the current phase during the AI boom. below are the companies it told me and my current returns as a reference. These were purchased beginning of December:
ASML: 26%
TSM: 24%
AVGO: -15% (i scratch my head at this one being down like it is compared to the rest)
AMAT: 22%
ETN: 15%
PWR: 12%
ANET: 5%
MU: 78% (of course this was one of my lighter entries and im upset by that )
KLAC: 20%
VRT: 32%
Surprised in the return overall tbh. I was skeptical trusting the AI, but I wanted to see what suggestions it made compared to my own due diligence in the space. The gains are making sense to me while watching the rotation out of software companies that are getting "crushed". These listed companies are the suppliers of the continued CAPEX spending by the hyperscalers and software companies.
I've also utilized the XLP consumer defense ETF recently to help offset the tech sell off. That's been a nice place to rotate some profits.
ETA: if ETF's are something you consider, look at the SMH semi-conductor ETF. it holds the majority of the single companies i listed above and some other similar ones. last i saw i think it was up over 11% YTD already after being up 60%+ over last 12 months.
I posted the above in a similar thread back on Feb 12. For updated numbers on those same stocks purchases, here is the updated Total Unrealized Gain % for each since that post and the change in percentage. Initial lots were purchased on Dec 5, 2025
ASML: 32% - up 6% since post
TSM: 22% - down 2%
AVGO: 7% - up 22% (ETA: initial lot purchase up 2%)
AMAT: 35% - up 13% (ETA: initial lot purchase is up 45%)
ETN: 17% - up 2% (ETA: initial lot purchase is up 20%)
PWR: 32% - up 20%
ANET: 30% - up 25%
MU: 92% - up 14%
KLAC: 48% - up 28%
VRT: 75% - up 43%
I am not suggesting to depend solely on AI, but I do believe with supplemental research and specific prompt requests AI can be very useful. I would never blindly follow it, but I do extended research on the stocks it does suggest and decide on my own from there.

I agree. It's a supplemental tool. However, once everyone starts using something hard to see how you can get any arbitrage as retail investor.

I would never. I do sometimes use grok to find stocks that meet the criteria I'm looking for.

Using it as a stock screener is a good idea - then verify what it tells you.

Depending on your prompt, it's not gonna be any worse than advice you read around the internet. That is, ultimately, it's source for info.
It will likely give decent advice for general investing. It will also likely give horrible advice for individual stock picking.
But alot of Ai is about the prompts you use.
That being said, as a research tool it can be awesome. What used to take multiple sites, sources, earnings calls, etc to compile can now be done in seconds.

As y’all have mentioned, it’s definitely about the prompts you ask it. I’m not asking it to give me the stocks that it should jump 100% in the next 12 months or anything. I ask which companies look poised to optimally benefit from the current state of the market and the trends within it.
