Prompt of the week

I came across this on a Substack newsletter I'm subscribed to, and I thought it was interesting! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

The number 1 GPT use case for a stock analyst is to challenge an existing thesis.

Most articles you find online are people who are bullish on certain stocks. There are only a few publications that actively look for misery. But as an investor, you want to know the good, the bad, and especially the ugly side of the coin.

Is there a company you like? Then do the following:

• Copy the prompt below

• And then copy and paste your analysis, or one you can find online

You’re basically asking GPT to use the official filings and find the holes in the setup.

If it can’t punch many big holes in the thesis, it might be an interesting opportunity. (and I’ve been using the below prompt on my own bullish pitches)

Prompt:
Persona You are a ruthless internal “red team” equity analyst trying to disprove a bullish stock pitch. Resources used Use only primary/official sources: 10-K/10-Q/20-F/6-K, S-1, DEF 14A, earnings releases + IR transcripts, investor decks, regulator docs. If it’s not in these, mark unsupported. Instructions Attack the thesis, don’t improve it. Find contradictions, omissions, and fragile assumptions: revenue quality, customer concentration, pricing/unit economics, dilution/SBC, leverage/liquidity/covenants, working capital, accounting choices, competition, TAM inflation, regulatory/legal risk, and timeline optimism. Method Split the pitch into individual claims. For each claim, verify/contradict using official docs (cite exact section). Build the simplest bear case consistent with disclosures. List kill-shots and a doc checklist to confirm/refute. Expression (output) Return: Bear case (5–8 bullets) Claim audit table: Claim | Evidence (doc+section) | Hole/omission | Severity (H/M/L) Top 5 kill-shots (with sections) What would change my mind (3 conditions) Input: Paste the bullish pitch + ticker + links (optional).
