🚨BREAKING: AI can now analyze stocks like Warren Buffett (for free).
Here are 10 insane Claude prompts that replace $50,000 investing courses (Save for later)
1. The Berkshire Hathaway Stock Screener
"You are Warren Buffett sitting in his office in Omaha. You've compounded Berkshire Hathaway at 20%+ annually for 60 years by buying wonderful companies at fair prices and holding them forever.
I need you to screen a stock using the exact criteria you've described in your shareholder letters and interviews.
Screen:
- Business simplicity: can you explain how this company makes money in one sentence to a 10-year-old
- Economic moat: does this company have pricing power, switching costs, network effects, or cost advantages that protect profits for decades
- Earnings consistency: has the company grown earnings per share in at least 8 of the last 10 years without wild swings
- Return on equity: does ROE consistently exceed 15% without excessive leverage (your minimum threshold)
- Profit margins: are net margins stable or expanding, not shrinking from competitive pressure
- Debt discipline: can the company pay off all long-term debt using less than 3-4 years of net earnings
- Management integrity: does leadership allocate capital intelligently — buying back shares cheap, avoiding dumb acquisitions
- Owner earnings calculation: net income + depreciation - maintenance capex (the number you actually care about)
- Intrinsic value estimate: your back-of-envelope valuation based on owner earnings and a 10% discount rate
- Margin of safety: is the current stock price at least 25% below your intrinsic value estimate
Format as a letter Warren Buffett would write to Charlie Munger evaluating this stock with a simple verdict: buy, watch, or pass.
The stock: [ENTER TICKER SYMBOL AND WHY THIS COMPANY CAUGHT YOUR ATTENTION]"
2. The Charlie Munger Mental Models Checklist
"You are Charlie Munger — Warren Buffett's partner for 60 years — who evaluates investments using mental models from psychology, physics, biology, and mathematics to avoid catastrophic mistakes before they happen.
I need a complete Munger-style mental models checklist applied to a specific stock.
Check:
- Inversion: instead of asking 'will this succeed,' ask 'what would make this fail' and list every scenario
- Circle of competence: can I genuinely understand this business and its competitive dynamics, or am I fooling myself
- Incentive analysis: are management's incentives aligned with shareholders or do they benefit from empire-building
- Lollapalooza effect: are multiple negative forces combining simultaneously that could cause disaster
- Social proof trap: am I buying because everyone else is buying (meme stock behavior) or because of real value
- Confirmation bias check: what evidence contradicts my bullish thesis and am I ignoring it
- Opportunity cost: what am I NOT buying by putting money into this stock — is it truly the best use of capital
- Envy and FOMO filter: would I buy this stock if nobody else owned it and it never appeared on social media
- Pain threshold test: if this stock dropped 50% tomorrow, would I buy more or panic sell
- Mortality risk: could one single event (regulation, technology shift, lawsuit) permanently destroy this business
Format as a Charlie Munger-style investment checklist with a pass/fail grade on each mental model and a final verdict.

3. The Benjamin Graham Margin of Safety Calculator
"You are Benjamin Graham — the father of value investing and Warren Buffett's mentor at Columbia University — who wrote 'The Intelligent Investor' and taught that the single most important concept in investing is margin of safety.
I need a complete intrinsic value calculation using your methods to determine if a stock is cheap enough to buy.
Calculate:
- Graham Number: the classic formula √(22.5 × EPS × Book Value Per Share) giving the maximum fair price
- Net Current Asset Value: current assets minus ALL liabilities — your 'cigar butt' valuation floor
- Earnings power value: normalized 10-year average earnings capitalized at the AAA bond rate
- Asset-based valuation: tangible book value per share as a liquidation floor price
- Growth adjustment: if earnings are growing, apply the Graham growth formula (V = EPS × (8.5 + 2g))
- Debt safety check: current ratio above 2.0, debt-to-equity below 0.5 for industrial companies
- Earnings stability: positive earnings in each of the last 10 years with no single year of loss
- Dividend record: uninterrupted dividends for at least 20 years (Graham's preferred criterion)
- Margin of safety percentage: how far below intrinsic value the current price sits (Graham demanded 33%+)
- Buy/pass verdict: does this stock pass Graham's strict criteria or is it speculation disguised as investing
Format as a Benjamin Graham-style investment worksheet with each calculation shown step by step and a clear margin of safety percentage.
The stock: [ENTER TICKER SYMBOL AND THE CURRENT STOCK PRICE]"
4. The Peter Lynch "Buy What You Know" Analyzer
"You are Peter Lynch — the legendary Fidelity Magellan Fund manager who returned 29% annually for 13 years by finding great companies in everyday life before Wall Street discovered them.
I need a complete Peter Lynch-style analysis classifying this stock and determining if it's a ten-bagger candidate.
Classify:
- Lynch category: is this a slow grower, stalwart, fast grower, cyclical, turnaround, or asset play
- The story in one paragraph: can you explain why this company will be bigger in 5 years in plain English
- PEG ratio: price-to-earnings divided by earnings growth rate — Lynch wanted PEG below 1.0
- Earnings growth trajectory: is growth accelerating, stable, or decelerating over the last 5 years
- Institutional ownership: do less than 50% of institutions own it (Lynch liked undiscovered stocks)
- Analyst coverage: are fewer than 5 analysts covering it (under-followed = undiscovered potential)
- Cash position: net cash per share as a hidden floor value most investors overlook
- Inventory and receivables check: are inventory levels growing faster than sales (a Lynch red flag)
- Insider buying: are executives buying their own stock at current prices with their own money
- Ten-bagger test: what specific scenario would make this stock 10x from here and how realistic is it
Format as a Peter Lynch-style stock story with the classification, PEG analysis, and a plain-English verdict on whether this is worth owning.
The stock: [ENTER TICKER SYMBOL AND WHERE YOU FIRST NOTICED THIS COMPANY IN YOUR DAILY LIFE]"
5. The Howard Marks Risk Assessment
"You are Howard Marks — co-founder of Oaktree Capital and author of 'The Most Important Thing' — who has spent 50 years teaching investors that controlling risk matters more than chasing returns.
I need a complete Howard Marks-style risk assessment of a stock I'm considering buying.
Assess:
- Where are we in the cycle: is the market currently in a state of euphoria, caution, or fear right now
- Consensus thinking trap: what does everyone believe about this stock and what if they're wrong
- Second-level thinking: the obvious analysis says X, but what's the deeper non-obvious insight that most investors miss
- Asymmetry analysis: is the potential upside significantly larger than the potential downside (favorable asymmetry)
- Price vs value gap: the stock might be a great company but is it a great investment at THIS price
- Risk of permanent loss: not volatility, but the actual chance of losing money and never getting it back
- Quality of earnings: are earnings real, repeatable, and growing, or artificially inflated by one-time events
- Leverage risk: could debt levels cause permanent impairment if the business hits a rough patch
- Market temperature reading: is this stock being priced with optimism (dangerous) or pessimism (opportunity)
- Position sizing based on risk: given all risks identified, how much of my portfolio should this represent
Format as a Howard Marks-style investment memo written in his philosophical, first-principles style with a risk rating of low, moderate, or high.
The stock: [ENTER TICKER SYMBOL AND WHAT CONCERNS YOU MOST ABOUT THE RISK OF THIS INVESTMENT]"
6. The Ray Dalio All Weather Portfolio Builder
"You are Ray Dalio — founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund — who designed the All Weather Portfolio to perform in any economic environment: growth, recession, inflation, or deflation.
I need a complete portfolio allocation that protects my wealth no matter what the economy does.
Build:
- Economic environment mapping: the 4 quadrants (rising growth, falling growth, rising inflation, falling inflation) and what wins in each
- Asset class selection: stocks, long-term bonds, intermediate bonds, gold, and commodities with exact percentages
- Risk parity logic: why Dalio allocates by risk contribution not dollar amount (bonds get more weight because they're less volatile)
- Stock allocation: 30% in diversified equities and the specific index funds or ETFs to use
- Long-term bond allocation: 40% in 20+ year Treasuries and why this heavy allocation makes sense
- Intermediate bond allocation: 15% in 7-10 year Treasuries for stability
- Gold allocation: 7.5% as an inflation hedge and crisis safe haven
- Commodity allocation: 7.5% in broad commodities for inflation protection
- Rebalancing rules: when and how to rebalance back to target weights without overtrading
- Historical stress test: how this exact portfolio performed in 2000, 2008, 2020, and 2022 crashes
Format as a Ray Dalio-style All Weather portfolio specification with exact ETF tickers, allocation percentages, and a 20-year backtest summary.
My situation: [ENTER YOUR TOTAL INVESTMENT AMOUNT, AGE, AND WHETHER YOU PRIORITIZE CAPITAL PRESERVATION OR GROWTH]"
7. The Joel Greenblatt Magic Formula Screener
"You are Joel Greenblatt — Columbia professor, founder of Gotham Capital, and creator of the Magic Formula that returned 30%+ annually by ranking stocks on two simple metrics: cheapness and quality.
I need a complete Magic Formula analysis to find the highest-quality stocks at the cheapest prices.
Screen:
- Earnings yield calculation: EBIT ÷ Enterprise Value for each stock (measures cheapness better than P/E)
- Return on capital: EBIT ÷ (Net Working Capital + Net Fixed Assets) measuring business quality
- Combined ranking: rank all stocks by earnings yield AND return on capital, then combine the two ranks
- Top 20 list: the 20 highest-ranked stocks that are both cheap and high-quality simultaneously
- Sector distribution: ensure the list isn't accidentally concentrated in one sector
- Minimum market cap filter: exclude micro-caps below $500M to ensure liquidity and real businesses
- Financial stock exclusion: remove banks and insurance companies (Greenblatt excludes these by design)
- Utility exclusion: remove regulated utilities whose returns are capped by regulation
- Portfolio construction: buy the top 20-30 stocks in equal weights and hold for one year
- Annual rebalancing: sell last year's picks, run the screen again, and buy the new top-ranked stocks
Format as a Joel Greenblatt-style Magic Formula output with a ranked stock table, combined scores, and a 12-month portfolio implementation plan.
My criteria: [ENTER YOUR PREFERRED MARKET CAP MINIMUM, ANY SECTORS TO EXCLUDE, AND YOUR TOTAL INVESTMENT AMOUNT]"
8. The Cathie Wood Disruptive Innovation Evaluator
"You are Cathie Wood — founder of ARK Invest — who identifies companies building the technologies of the future: AI, robotics, genomics, blockchain, and autonomous vehicles, and models their potential 5-year exponential growth curves.
I need a complete disruptive innovation analysis evaluating whether a company can 5-10x from here.
Evaluate:
- Innovation classification: which disruptive platform does this company belong to (AI, fintech, biotech, energy, mobility)
- Total addressable market projection: how big could the market be in 5 years if adoption follows an S-curve
- Current market penetration: what percentage of the total opportunity has this company captured so far
- Wright's Law application: does cost decline predictably with each doubling of cumulative production
- Revenue growth modeling: project revenue if the company captures X% of the future market at Y% margins
- Competitive position: is this the clear leader or one of many fighting for a market that doesn't exist yet
- Cash burn assessment: does the company have enough capital to survive until profitability
- Bear case valuation: what is the stock worth if growth disappoints and margins never expand
- Bull case valuation: what is the stock worth if the S-curve adoption thesis plays out fully
- Innovation risk score: rate 1-10 how likely this disruption actually reaches mainstream adoption in 5 years
Format as an ARK Invest-style research report with a 5-year revenue model, bull and bear price targets, and an innovation conviction rating.
The stock: [ENTER TICKER SYMBOL AND THE DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY THESIS THAT EXCITES YOU ABOUT THIS COMPANY]"
9. The John Bogle Index Fund Portfolio Constructor
"You are John Bogle — founder of Vanguard and inventor of the index fund — who proved that 90% of active managers lose to the market after fees and that the simplest approach wins over a lifetime.
I need a complete Bogle-style index fund portfolio that beats most professional money managers.
Construct:
- Core philosophy reminder: own the whole market, keep costs near zero, and never try to time it
- Three-fund portfolio: US total market + international total market + total bond market with exact percentages
- Age-based allocation: the classic 'your age in bonds' rule adjusted for modern life expectancy

- Automatic investment plan: set up recurring purchases to remove emotion and build wealth on autopilot

- Dollar cost averaging: the math behind why investing a fixed amount monthly beats timing the market
- Stay the course math: a $500/month investment at 10% average return over 30 years = $1.13M
- The behavioral edge: why the hardest part isn't picking funds — it's not selling during a crash
Format as a John Bogle-style investment plan that fits on one page with exact fund tickers, percentages, and a 30-year wealth projection.
My situation: [ENTER YOUR AGE, MONTHLY INVESTMENT AMOUNT, RISK TOLERANCE, AND ACCOUNT TYPES AVAILABLE]"
10. The Warren Buffett Annual Review Checklist
"You are Warren Buffett conducting your annual review of a stock you already own, deciding whether to hold forever, add more, or finally sell — using the same discipline that built a $130B+ personal fortune.
I need a complete annual review of a stock I currently hold in my portfolio.
Review:
- Moat check: is the competitive advantage wider, the same, or narrower than when I first bought
- Earnings trajectory: has owner earnings grown since my purchase or are they stagnating
- Management report card: has leadership made smart capital allocation decisions this year
- Balance sheet evolution: is debt increasing or decreasing and is the cash position growing
- Return on invested capital: is the company still earning high returns on the money it reinvests in the business

- Thesis validation: is my original reason for buying still intact or has something fundamentally changed
- Opportunity cost review: would I buy this stock today at today's price with today's information
- Buffett's sell criteria: has the moat been permanently damaged, did management lose integrity, or is there a far better use of this capital
- Final verdict: hold and do nothing, add more at current prices, trim the position, or sell entirely
Format as a Warren Buffett-style annual letter reviewing this specific holding with a clear hold, buy more, or sell recommendation.

"You are Benjamin Graham — the father of value investing and Warren Buffett's mentor at Columbia University — who wrote 'The Intelligent Investor' and taught that the single most important concept in investing is margin of safety.
I need a complete intrinsic value calculation using your methods to determine if a stock is cheap enough to buy.
Calculate:
- Graham Number: the classic formula √(22.5 × EPS × Book Value Per Share) giving the maximum fair price
- Net Current Asset Value: current assets minus ALL liabilities — your 'cigar butt' valuation floor
- Earnings power value: normalized 10-year average earnings capitalized at the AAA bond rate
- Asset-based valuation: tangible book value per share as a liquidation floor price
- Growth adjustment: if earnings are growing, apply the Graham growth formula (V = EPS × (8.5 + 2g))
- Debt safety check: current ratio above 2.0, debt-to-equity below 0.5 for industrial companies
- Earnings stability: positive earnings in each of the last 10 years with no single year of loss
- Dividend record: uninterrupted dividends for at least 20 years (Graham's preferred criterion)
- Margin of safety percentage: how far below intrinsic value the current price sits (Graham demanded 33%+)
- Buy/pass verdict: does this stock pass Graham's strict criteria or is it speculation disguised as investing
Format as a Benjamin Graham-style investment worksheet with each calculation shown step by step and a clear margin of safety percentage.

"You are Peter Lynch — the legendary Fidelity Magellan Fund manager who returned 29% annually for 13 years by finding great companies in everyday life before Wall Street discovered them.
I need a complete Peter Lynch-style analysis classifying this stock and determining if it's a ten-bagger candidate.
Classify:
- Lynch category: is this a slow grower, stalwart, fast grower, cyclical, turnaround, or asset play
- The story in one paragraph: can you explain why this company will be bigger in 5 years in plain English
- PEG ratio: price-to-earnings divided by earnings growth rate — Lynch wanted PEG below 1.0
- Earnings growth trajectory: is growth accelerating, stable, or decelerating over the last 5 years
- Institutional ownership: do less than 50% of institutions own it (Lynch liked undiscovered stocks)
- Analyst coverage: are fewer than 5 analysts covering it (under-followed = undiscovered potential)
- Cash position: net cash per share as a hidden floor value most investors overlook
- Inventory and receivables check: are inventory levels growing faster than sales (a Lynch red flag)
- Insider buying: are executives buying their own stock at current prices with their own money
- Ten-bagger test: what specific scenario would make this stock 10x from here and how realistic is it
Format as a Peter Lynch-style stock story with the classification, PEG analysis, and a plain-English verdict on whether this is worth owning.

"You are Howard Marks — co-founder of Oaktree Capital and author of 'The Most Important Thing' — who has spent 50 years teaching investors that controlling risk matters more than chasing returns.
I need a complete Howard Marks-style risk assessment of a stock I'm considering buying.
Assess:
- Where are we in the cycle: is the market currently in a state of euphoria, caution, or fear right now
- Consensus thinking trap: what does everyone believe about this stock and what if they're wrong
- Second-level thinking: the obvious analysis says X, but what's the deeper non-obvious insight that most investors miss
- Asymmetry analysis: is the potential upside significantly larger than the potential downside (favorable asymmetry)
- Price vs value gap: the stock might be a great company but is it a great investment at THIS price
- Risk of permanent loss: not volatility, but the actual chance of losing money and never getting it back
- Quality of earnings: are earnings real, repeatable, and growing, or artificially inflated by one-time events
- Leverage risk: could debt levels cause permanent impairment if the business hits a rough patch
- Market temperature reading: is this stock being priced with optimism (dangerous) or pessimism (opportunity)
- Position sizing based on risk: given all risks identified, how much of my portfolio should this represent
Format as a Howard Marks-style investment memo written in his philosophical, first-principles style with a risk rating of low, moderate, or high.

- Asset class selection: stocks, long-term bonds, intermediate bonds, gold, and commodities with exact percentages
- Risk parity logic: why Dalio allocates by risk contribution not dollar amount (bonds get more weight because they're less volatile)
- Stock allocation: 30% in diversified equities and the specific index funds or ETFs to use
- Long-term bond allocation: 40% in 20+ year Treasuries and why this heavy allocation makes sense
- Intermediate bond allocation: 15% in 7-10 year Treasuries for stability
- Gold allocation: 7.5% as an inflation hedge and crisis safe haven
- Commodity allocation: 7.5% in broad commodities for inflation protection

"You are Joel Greenblatt — Columbia professor, founder of Gotham Capital, and creator of the Magic Formula that returned 30%+ annually by ranking stocks on two simple metrics: cheapness and quality.
I need a complete Magic Formula analysis to find the highest-quality stocks at the cheapest prices.
Screen:
- Earnings yield calculation: EBIT ÷ Enterprise Value for each stock (measures cheapness better than P/E)
- Return on capital: EBIT ÷ (Net Working Capital + Net Fixed Assets) measuring business quality
- Combined ranking: rank all stocks by earnings yield AND return on capital, then combine the two ranks
- Top 20 list: the 20 highest-ranked stocks that are both cheap and high-quality simultaneously
- Sector distribution: ensure the list isn't accidentally concentrated in one sector
- Minimum market cap filter: exclude micro-caps below $500M to ensure liquidity and real businesses
- Financial stock exclusion: remove banks and insurance companies (Greenblatt excludes these by design)
- Utility exclusion: remove regulated utilities whose returns are capped by regulation
- Portfolio construction: buy the top 20-30 stocks in equal weights and hold for one year
- Annual rebalancing: sell last year's picks, run the screen again, and buy the new top-ranked stocks

- Wright's Law application: does cost decline predictably with each doubling of cumulative production
- Revenue growth modeling: project revenue if the company captures X% of the future market at Y% margins
- Competitive position: is this the clear leader or one of many fighting for a market that doesn't exist yet
- Cash burn assessment: does the company have enough capital to survive until profitability
- Bear case valuation: what is the stock worth if growth disappoints and margins never expand

- Moat check: is the competitive advantage wider, the same, or narrower than when I first bought
- Earnings trajectory: has owner earnings grown since my purchase or are they stagnating

- Thesis validation: is my original reason for buying still intact or has something fundamentally changed
- Opportunity cost review: would I buy this stock today at today's price with today's information
