ChatGPT Leans On Tesla To Power Portfolio: With Market Trends In Flux, Will AI-Driven Strategy Prevail?

As we pivot into week 14 of our ongoing series "Is ChatGPT A Better Financial Advisor?" series, the stakes keep heightening.

With 14 weeks in the rearview, let's see if ChatGPT can inch closer to the stalwarts of Wall Street. As a reminder, we’ve handed ChatGPT a cool $10,000 (hypothetically, of course) to see if its portfolio recommendations can compete with some of the market's heavyweight funds like the SPDR S&P 500 SPY and the Invesco Trust Series 1 QQQ.

Here's How They Stack Up After 14 Weeks:

Fund/ETF	14-Week Performance
SPDR S&P 500	+8.64%
Invesco QQQ Trust	+13.98%
Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund	+9.51%
Vanguard Growth Index Fund	+11.29%
Vanguard Value Index Fund	+6%
iShares MSCI EAFE ETF	-1.25%
Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund	+0.48%
Fidelity Contrafund	+12.88%
T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund	+11.6%
Fidelity Total Market Index Fund	+9.53%

ChatGPT	14-Week Performance
Benzinga's ChatGPT Portfolio	+9.45%

ChatGPT’s portfolio reeled back over the last week, reflecting broader market trends. The portfolio is now in seventh place.

Let’s spotlight a couple of movers: Tesla Inc TSLA, while still up overall, pared some gains over the week. We're up 45% on the position. On the flip side, AT&T Inc T is attempting a recovery, though still lagging, down nearly 14% from our series' outset.

We’re holding all positions through a six-month timeframe.

Here’s a look at the stocks in our AI-driven portfolio, and if you missed the action from last week, catch the recap here.

Investing, as they say, isn't about the short game. As we push through this six-month journey, remember that market winds change direction. While we're putting AI to the test against some of the big dogs, it's essential to remember: ChatGPT doesn’t harness the real-time dynamism of the market yet.

What we're aiming for here isn't to herald the era of robot advisors, but to stir the pot and get investors thinking: How does AI fit into our financial future?

Join us next Wednesday as we roll into week 15 of the "Is ChatGPT A Better Financial Advisor?" journey. The game's still wide open!
