The Market Doesn’t Care About Your Fancy Excel Formula
Don’t really understand why people subscribe to StockOracle and make investing look so complicated.
Today, ChatGPT can already handle most of the heavy lifting for research and analysis.
The problem is some people focus too much on churned-out numbers and spreadsheet models — tweaking Excel cells until the outcome matches what they already want to believe. That’s not investing, that’s just fitting the narrative to the conclusion.
You manually key in Year 1–5 growth at 18%, then slow it to 12% for Years 6–10, and suddenly the software spits out a $220 target price for ORCL.
The outcome was already determined the moment you chose conservative growth assumptions. Of course the intrinsic value comes out low.
This is classic garbage in, garbage out — nothing magical, nothing intelligent. It’s basically just an Excel-style DCF calculator wrapped in an “AI” label.
