📊 How Wall Street Pros Use Chat GPT for Stock Market Insights

“It’s not magic it’s method.”

AI tools like ChatGPT are gaining traction in finance. But according to MarketWatch, Wall Street pros aren’t just asking, “What stocks should I buy?” They’re using layered prompting strategies to get valuable insights.

✅ What they do differently:

1. Assign persona (“Be my sell-side analyst”), which helps the model think like a pro.

2. Specify the objective, such as assessing risk in an economic scenario.

3. Clarify knowledge gaps, prompting follow-up questions to tailor advice.

4. Upload financial data (e.g., company filings) and request source-based analysis.

5. Define audience & format, with bullet points, tables, or investor briefs.

Retail investors can apply the same framework: upload your spreadsheet, frame clear goals, and verify every output. Treat AI like an intelligent intern, not a replacement. The magic lies in thoughtful prompting and careful validation.

🔍 AI is a powerful assistant but success still depends on your investing acumen and critical thinking.
