ChatGPT VERSUS Grok AI for Beginner Investors

Watch the extended version HERE.

Grok is the new AI on the block, but is it better for investing than ChatGPT? That’s what I wanted to figure out. Grok costs $16 a month, ChatGPT is $20. Saving $4 sounds nice, but is it worth it?

I started by testing how both tools handle public sentiment. Grok stands out because it’s plugged into X (formerly Twitter) and can track real-time conversations. It’s great for spotting shifts in how people feel about companies, which is huge in investing. Fear and greed drive stock prices, and when fear pushes prices too low, there’s opportunity.

During COVID, cruise stocks like Royal Caribbean dropped from $131 to $24 because people panicked. Now? It’s trading at $250. On the flip side, Peloton soared to $162 before crashing to $10 when gyms reopened. Grok helps me find those fear-driven drops and potential recovery plays.

I asked Grok to find companies with recent negative sentiment but signs of recovery. My first results were swamped by the Magnificent Seven—companies like Tesla and Apple that dominate online chatter. After excluding them and filtering out meme stocks like AMC, I finally got a decent list of companies to explore, including Boeing, Carnival, and DocuSign.

Next, I tested financial analysis. Grok’s results looked solid at first, but when I fact-checked, key numbers like the current ratio were slightly off. That’s a deal-breaker. ChatGPT, on the other hand, nailed it. By specifying sources like StockAnalysis.com, ChatGPT pulled accurate financial data and ranked companies based on health.

ChatGPT’s Excel capabilities sealed the deal for me. I uploaded financials for multiple companies, asked it to analyze trends, and it spit out clear graphs and insights. Grok can’t do that. While Grok’s real-time sentiment tracking is valuable, ChatGPT offers a full package: sentiment analysis, reliable financial data, and in-depth custom analysis.

For now, I’m sticking with ChatGPT. It’s a one-stop shop that saves time and gives me confidence in my research. If you’re looking to level up your investing game, ChatGPT delivers the edge I need. If you want to see my full investing process, check out this video NEXT.
