Discussion Board Reading Assignments ChatGPT probably won’t help you beat the stock market—but it can
assist investors in other ways, says CFP Published Fri, Jun 23 20233:01 PM EDT
Cheyenne DeVon Around 50% of Gen Zers and a little over half
of millennials have used ChatGPT, OpenAI’s viral AI chatbot, for investing
advice, according to a recent survey of over 2,000 Americans by The Motley
Fool, a financial and investing advice company. That’s despite the fact that OpenAI prompts
ChatGPT users with a warning that it sometimes “writes plausible-sounding but
incorrect or nonsensical answers” and that the tool is not intended to give
advice. But letting AI build your portfolio probably
isn’t the best investment strategy anyway. “It is by no means going to provide you with
a way to beat the market,” Douglas Boneparth, a certified financial planner
and the president and founder of Bone Fide Wealth, tells CNBC Make It. Boneparth himself put ChatGPT’s financial
acumen to the test and says the results weren’t great. He asked the tool to
build him a hypothetical diversified portfolio with 80% equity and 20% fixed
income and gave it a few parameters, risk characteristics and guidance as to
what kind of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) he wanted to use. “I was presented with a table that added up
to more than 100%,” he says. After informing ChatGPT of this, it tried to
correct the error but didn’t necessarily pull the right information, he says.
However, Boneparth says he was impressed by how close ChatGPT came to
achieving what he asked. People who use AI tools like ChatGPT for
financial advice may misunderstand the current capabilities and limitations of
these tools. Since they’re able to process large amounts of data, some may
assume that AI chatbots are “all knowing” or can predict the future
performance of a company, Boneparth says. While this technology may make a few lucky
stock picks, it hasn’t been around long enough for us to see whether it can
replicate those results over the long term, he says. Additionally, the free
version of ChatGPT has limited knowledge of world events after 2021, which
means its responses aren’t based on real-time data. “There’s just fundamental components of the
technology that are not there to do the things that you hope it would do,”
Boneparth says. “There’s a difference between potential and reality. And the
reality is we’re certainly not in a place where we should be relying on a
ChatGPT bot or AI in general to be making investment decisions for
ourselves.” How ChatGPT can actually help investors While ChatGPT and other AI chatbots may not
be the best tools for building a portfolio, they can be useful to investors
in other ways. The technology can be a helpful tool when
looking up definitions of financial terms you may be unfamiliar with or for
gathering data when researching a company that you’re considering investing
in, Boneparth says. But don’t expect AI to fully replace human
financial advisors any time soon. While we’ll probably continue to see these
tools do very well when it comes to “analytical number crunching,” a human
financial advisor is better suited to help you with financial decisions that
involve feelings and behaviors, such as deciding to move across the country
or choosing where to retire, Boneparth says. “AI isn’t really capable of understanding the
specific preferences of an individual, and therefore you’re not necessarily
going to get tailored financial advice,” he says. “Anytime feelings and behaviors get involved,
the financial planner or financial professional is likely going to be able to
use their own ability to relate or commiserate and help process those
feelings a lot better than what AI can do at this point.” Big banks are talking up generative A.I. — but the risks mean they’re
not diving in headfirst PUBLISHED MON, JUN 12 20237:48 PM EDT Ryan
Browne MacKenzie Sigalos KEY POINTS ·
Many
terms and phrases were used by top banking and fintech executives to describe
generative AI at Money 20/20 in Amsterdam this week, from “mind boggling” to
an “explosion of innovation.” ·
Generative
AI, which generates content in response to user prompts, can be used to
automate complex processes in banking. ·
However,
the technology is still in its early days, and many banks cautioned that it
may be too risky to implement it in areas that touch consumers. AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — Major banks and fintech
companies claim to be piling into generative artificial intelligence as the
hype surrounding the buzzy technology shows no signs of fizzling out — but
there are lingering fears about potential pitfalls and risks. At the Money 20/20 fintech conference in
Amsterdam, Netherlands, executives at large lenders and online finance firms
sang the praises of generative AI, calling it an “explosion of innovation,”
and saying it will “unleash innovation in areas that we can’t even think
about.” Chalapathy Neti, head of AI at global bank
messaging network Swift, described the progress made with ChatGPT and GPT-4
as “mind-boggling.” He added, “This is truly a transformative moment.” But in the short term, banks are scrambling
to figure out the use cases. The Netherlands’ ABN Amro is one banking
giant that’s piloting the use of generative AI in its processes. Annerie Vreugdenhil, chief commercial officer
of ABN Amro’s personal and business banking division, revealed on a panel
that it is using the technology to automatically summarize conversations
between bank staff and customers. It’s also using it to help its employees
gather data on customers to assist with answering queries and avoid
repetitive questions. The bank is now in the process of scaling
these pilots to 200 employees and is exploring a number of new pilots to
start this summer. In a closed-door session on the application
of AI in financial services, meanwhile, two banking executives explained how
they’re using the technology to improve their internal code and analyze how
their clients are behaving. “We are experimenting at this stage and we
don’t have necessarily anything client facing but we are using the [tech the]
same as other companies, for example, code refactoring, comms calls, the
other way around,” said Mariana Gomez de la Villa, an executive at ING Bank
specializing in strategy and innovation. Indeed, the banks appeared unanimous in their
hesitation to roll out ChatGPT-like tools to customer-facing scenarios. Jon Ander Beracoechea Alava, advanced
analytics discipline head at Spanish bank BBVA, said that the lender had
taken a “conservative approach” to AI, adding that, at this stage, generative
AI is “still early” and “immature.” A crucial issue is that advanced AI systems
require the processing of huge volumes of data — a sensitive commodity
wrapped up in all kinds of rules and regulations. As such, Alava said that at
this stage it was too “risky” to involve sensitive information from
customers. Generative A.I., explained Generative AI is a specific form of AI that
is able to produce content from scratch. The systems take inputs from the
user and feed them into powerful algorithms fueled by large datasets to
generate new text, images and video in a way that’s more humanlike than most
AI tools already on the market. The technology was thrust into the spotlight
following the success of OpenAI’s GPT language processing technology.
ChatGPT, which uses massive language models to create human-sounding
responses to questions, has ignited an arms race among some companies over
what is seen as the next “paradigm shift” in tech. In March, Goldman Sachs’ chief information
officer, Marco Argenti, told CNBC the bank is experimenting with generative
AI tools internally to help its developers automatically generate and test
code. More recently, in May, Goldman spun off the
first startup from the bank’s internal incubator — an AI-powered social media
company for corporate use called Louisa. The push into AI is part of a larger
effort by CEO David Solomon to expedite the bank’s digital makeover. Morgan Stanley, meanwhile, is using it to
inform its financial advisors on queries they may have. The bank has been
testing an OpenAI-powered chatbot with 300 advisors so far, with a view to
ultimately aid its roughly 16,000 advisors in making use of Morgan Stanley’s
repository of research and data, according to Jeff McMillan, head of
analytics and data at the firm’s wealth management division. A.I. ‘co-pilot’ These are just some examples of how financial
firms are using AI, but more as a digital helper than as a core part of their
services. Gudmundur Kristjansson, CEO and co-founder of
Icelandic regulatory technology firm Lucinity, showed CNBC how artificial
intelligence can be used to assist with a key area in finance: fighting
crime. An AI tool the company created, called Luci,
aims to help compliance professionals with their investigations. In a live
demonstration, Kristjansson showed himself looking into a money laundering
case. The AI tool analyzed the case and described what it saw and then
completed an independent review. In this use case, the AI acts as more of a
resource — or “copilot” — to help an employee find data and flesh out a case rather
than replace the role of a person looking into reports of suspicious
activity. “Where you find money laundering is through
... interconnected networks of people who are basically employed to do it.
That’s why it’s so hard to find it. Banks spent this year $274 billion on
prevention,” Kristjansson told CNBC in an interview. He said where Luci helps is by vastly
reducing the amount of time spent trying to work out whether something is
fraud or money laundering. The whole appeal of AI to the big banks and
fintechs, Money 20/20 attendees said, is the potential reduction in the time
and money it takes to complete tasks that can take human employees days. Niklas Guske, chief operating officer at
Taktile, a startup that helps fintechs automate decision-making, acknowledged
that the use of AI is challenging in the financial sector, given the lack of
publicly available data. But he stressed that it could be a “crucial”
tool to reduce the companies’ operational expenses and improve efficiency. “In many fintech applications, this is done
through an increase in automation and reducing manual processes, especially
in onboarding and underwriting,” he told CNBC. “This automation is truly enabled through
access to more data sources, which empower lenders to gain new insights and
identify the right customers without having to parse through dozens of PDFs
for the right piece of information.” — CNBC’s Hugh Son contributed reporting |

the above information? Can we figure out the stock price
of Wal-Mart based on dividend, with reasonable assumptions? Can you estimate the
expected dividend in 2024? And in 2025? And on and on…
Can you write down the math equation
now? WMT stock price = ? WMT
stock price = npv(return, D1, D2, …D∞) WMT
stock price = D1/(1+r) + D2/(1+r)2
+ D3/(1+r)3
+ D4/(1+r)4 + … Calculating the present value of
dividends when assuming dividends go to infinity can indeed be challenging.
To simplify the calculation, we can make the assumption that dividends grow
at a certain rate. Additionally, we can use the discount
rate 'r,' which is based on the Beta and Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
discussed in Chapter 13. By incorporating these assumptions, we can
streamline the calculation process for determining the present value of
dividends. https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/wmt

Details
about how to derive the model mathematically (FYI) The Gordon growth model is a simple discounted cash flow
(DCF) model which can be used to value a stock, mutual fund, or even the
entire stock market. The model is named after Myron Gordon who first
published the model in 1959. The Gordon model assumes that a financial security
pays a periodic dividend (D) which grows at a constant rate
(g). These growing dividend payments are assumed to continue forever.
The future dividend payments are discounted at the required rate of return
(r) to find the price (P) for the stock or fund. Under these simple assumptions, the price of the
security is given by this equation:
In this equation, I’ve used the “0” subscript
on the price (P) and the “1” subscript on the dividend (D) to
indicate that the price is calculated at time zero and the dividend is the
expected dividend at the end of period one. However, the equation is
commonly written with these subscripts omitted. Obviously, the assumptions built into this
model are overly simplistic for many real-world valuation problems. Many
companies pay no dividends, and, for those that do,
we may expect changing payout ratios or growth rates as the
business matures. Despite
these limitations, I believe spending some time experimenting with the
Gordon model can help develop intuition about the relationship between
valuation and return. Deriving the Gordon Growth Model Equation
The Gordon growth model calculates the present value of
the security by summing an infinite series of discounted dividend payments
which follows the pattern shown here:
Multiplying both sides of the previous equation by
(1+g)/(1+r) gives:
We can then subtract the second equation from the first
equation to get:
Rearranging and simplifying:
Finally,
we can simplify further to get the Gordon growth model equation |

1. NPV Excel syntax Syntax NPV(rate,value1,value2, ...) Rate is the rate of discount over
the length of one period. Value1, value2,
... are 1 to
29 arguments representing the payments and income. · Value1, value2, ... must be equally spaced in
time and occur at the end of each period. NPV uses the
order of value1, value2, ... to interpret the order of cash flows.
Be sure to enter your payment and income values in the correct sequence. 2. IRR Excel syntax Syntax IRR(values, guess) Values is an array or a reference to cells
that contain numbers for which you want to calculate the internal rate of
return. Guess is a number that you guess is
close to the result of IRR.

How much is MIRR? IRR? Payback period?
Discounted payback period? NPV? WACC: 11.00% Year 0 1 2 3 Cash
flows -$800 $350 $350 $350 Answer: 1)
NPV: NPV = -800 + 350/(1+11%) +
350/(1+11%)2 + 350/(1+11%)3 = 55.30 Or in excel: = npv(11%, 350, 350, 350)-800 = 55.30 2)
IRR:
So NPV = 0 = -800 +
350/(1+IRR) + 350/(1+IRR)2 + 350/(1+IRR)3 , use Solver,
can get IRR = 14.93% Or in excel:
3)
PI: profitable index
SO, PI= (350/(1+11%) + 350/(1+11%)2 + 350/(1+11%)3
) / 800 = 1.069 Or PI = NPV/800 + 1 = 55.30/800 + 1 = 1.069 4)
Payback period:
A portion of the third year = (800-350-350)/350 = 100/350 =
0.2857 So it takes 2 + 0.2857 = 2.2857 years to pay off the debt of
$800. 5)
Discounted payback period:
Note: All the cash flows in the above equation should be the
present values.
A portion of the third year = (800-318.18-289.26)/262.96 =
0.72 So it takes 2 + 0.72 = 2.72 years to pay off the debt of $800.
A portion of the third year = (800-318.18-289.26)/262.96 = 0.72 So it takes 2 + 0.72 = 2.72 years to pay off the debt of $800. Or use the calculator at https://www.jufinance.com/capital/ Part

Simple
Rules’ for Running a Business
From the 20-page cellphone contract to the five-pound employee
handbook, even the simple things seem to be getting more complicated. Companies have been complicating things for themselves, too—analyzing hundreds of factors when making decisions, or
consulting reams of data to resolve every budget dilemma. But those
requirements might be wasting time and muddling priorities. So argues Donald Sull,
a lecturer at the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology who has also worked for McKinsey & Co. and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC. In the book Simple
Rules: How to Thrive in a Complex World, out this week from Houghton
Mifflin Harcourt HMHC -1.36%,
he and Kathleen Eisenhardt of Stanford University claim that
straightforward guidelines lead to better results than complex formulas. Mr. Sull recently spoke with At Work about
what companies can do to simplify, and why five basic rules can beat a
50-item checklist. Edited excerpts: WSJ: Where, in the business
context, might “simple rules” help more than a complicated
approach? Donald Sull: Well, a common decision that people face in organizations is
capital allocation. In many organizations, there will be thick procedure
books or algorithms–one company I worked with had an
algorithm that had almost 100 variables for every project. These are very
cumbersome approaches to making decisions and can waste time. Basically, any
decision about how to focus resources—either people
or money or attention—can benefit from simple rules. WSJ: Can you give an example of
how that simplification works in a company? Sull: There’s
a German company called Weima GmBH that makes shredders. At one point,
they were getting about 10,000 requests and could only fill about a thousand
because of technical capabilities, so they had this massive problem of
sorting out which of these proposals to pursue. They had a very detailed checklist with 40 or 50 items. People
had to gather data and if there were gray areas the proposal would go to
management. But because the data was hard to obtain and there were so many
different pieces, people didn’t always fill out the checklists completely. Then
management had to discuss a lot of these proposals personally because there
was incomplete data. So top management is spending a disproportionate amount
of time discussing this low-level stuff. Then Weima came up with guidelines that the
frontline sales force and engineers could use to quickly decide whether a
request fell in the “yes,” “no” or “maybe” category. They did it with five
rules only, stuff like “Weima had to
collect at least 70% of the price before the unit leaves the factory.” After that, only the “maybes” were sent to management. This
dramatically decreased the amount of time management spend evaluating these
projects–that time was decreased by almost a factor
of 10. Or, take Frontier Dental Laboratories in Canada. They were
working with a sales force of two covering the entire North American market.
Limiting their sales guidelines to a few factors that made someone likely to
be receptive to Frontier—stuff like “dentists
who have their own practice” and “dentists
with a website”—helped focus their efforts and
increase sales 42% in a declining market. WSJ: Weima used five factors—is
that the optimal number? And how do you choose which rules to follow? Sull: You should have four to six
rules. Any more than that, you’ll spend too much time trying to follow
everything perfectly. The entire reason simple rules help is because they
force you to prioritize the goals that matter. They’re
easy to remember, they don’t confuse or stress you,
they save time. They should be tailored to your specific goals, so you choose
the rules based on what exactly you’re trying to
achieve. And you should of course talk to others. Get information from
different sources, and ask them for the top things that worked for them. But
focus on whether what will work for you and your circumstances. WSJ: Is there a business leader
you can point to who has embraced the “simple rules” guideline? Donald Sull: Let’s look at when Alex Behring took
over America
Latina Logistica SARUMO3.BR +1.59%,
the Brazilian railway and logistics company. With a budget of $15 million,
how do you choose among $200 million of investment requests, all of which are
valid? The textbook business-school answer to this is that you run the
NPV (net present value) test on each project and rank-order them by NPV. Alex
Behring knows this. He was at the top of the class at Harvard Business School. But instead Similarly, the global-health arm of the Gates Foundation gets
many, many funding requests. But since they know that their goal is to have
the most impact worldwide, they focus on projects in developing countries
because that’s where the money will stretch farther. |

Week 5 - Chapter 14 Cost of Capital
For class discussion: · What is WACC? · Why is it important? · WACC increases, good or bad to stock holders? · How to apply WACC to figure out firm value?

WACC Calculator help

Summary of Equations
Discount rate to figure out the value of projects is called WACC (weighted average cost of capital)
WACC = weight of debt * cost of debt + weight of equity *( cost of equity)
Wd= total debt / Total capital = total borrowed / total capital We= total equity/ Total capital Cost of debt = rate(nper,
coupon, -(price – flotation costs), 1000)*(1-tax rate) Cost of Equity = D1/(Po – Flotation Cost) + g D1: Next period dividend; Po: Current stock price; g: dividend growth rate Note: flotation costs = flotation percentage * price
Or if beta is given, use CAPM model (refer to chapter 13) Cost of equity = risk free
rate + beta *(market return – risk free rate) Cost of equity = risk free rate +
beta * market risk premium
In Class Exercise: A firm borrows money from bond market. The price they paid is $950 for the bond with 5% coupon rate and 10 years to mature. Flotation cost is $40. For the new stocks, the expected dividend is $2 with a growth rate of 10% and price of $40. The flotation cost is $4. The company raises capital in equal proportions i.e. 50% debt and 50% equity (such as total $1m raised and half million is from debt market and the other half million is from stock market). Tax rate 34%. What is WACC (weighted average cost of capital, cost of capital)? (Answer: 9.84%) 1) Why does the firm raise capital from the financial market? Is there of any costs of doing so? What do you think? 2) What is cost of debt? (Kd = rate(nper, coupon, -(price – flotation costs $)), 1000)*(1-tax rate)) 3) Cost of equity? (Ke = (D1/(Price – flotation costs $)) +g, or Ke = Rrf + Beta*MRP)) Why no tax adjustment like cost of debt? 4) WACC=Cost of capital = Percentage of Debt * cost of debt + percentage of stock * cost of stock = Wd*Kd + We* Ke Meaning: For a dollar raised in the capital market from debt holders and stockholders, the cost is WACC (or WACC * 1$ = several cents, and of course, the lower the better but many companies do not have good credits)
Solution: Cost
of debt = rate(10, 50, -(950-40), 1000)*(1-34%) Cost
of/equity = 2/(40-4)+10% WACC
= 0.5*cost of debt + 0.5*cost of equity

Historical returns Holding period return (HPR) =
(Selling price – Purchasing price + dividend)/ Purchasing price 4. CAPM (Capital Asset
Pricing Model) model · What is Beta? Where to find Beta?
Beta
is a measurement of a stock's price fluctuations, which is often called
volatility, and is used by investors to gauge how quickly a stock's price
will rise or fall. Because beta is calculated from past returns, it's not
considered as reliable a tool to forecast rises in stock prices, and it is
more commonly used by options traders. Beta compares the changes in a
company's stock returns against the returns of the market as a whole. Online
brokerages give investors extensive data on a stock's beta value, and some
free financial news websites also show current beta measurements. · What
Is the Capital Asset Pricing Model?
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
describes the relationship between systematic risk and expected
return for assets, particularly stocks. CAPM is widely used throughout
finance for pricing risky securities and generating expected returns
for assets given the risk of those assets and cost of capital. Ri = Rf + βi *( Rm -
Rf) ------ CAPM model Ri =
Expected return of investment Rf = Risk-free
rate βi = Beta of the investment Rm = Expected
return of market (Rm - Rf) = Market risk premium Investors expect to be compensated for risk and the time
value of money. The risk-free rate in the CAPM formula accounts for
the time value of money. The other components of the CAPM formula account for
the investor taking on additional risk. The beta of a potential investment is a
measure of how much risk the investment will add to a portfolio that looks
like the market. If a stock is riskier than the market, it will have a beta greater
than one. If a stock has a beta of less than one, the formula assumes it will
reduce the risk of a portfolio. A stock’s beta is then multiplied by
the market risk premium, which is the return expected from the market
above the risk-free rate. The risk-free rate is then added to the product of
the stock’s beta and the market risk premium.
The result should give an investor the required
return or discount rate they can use to find the value of an
asset. The goal of the CAPM formula is to evaluate whether a stock is
fairly valued when its risk and the time value of money are compared to its
expected return. For example, imagine an investor is
contemplating a stock worth $100 per share today that pays a 3% annual
dividend. The stock has a beta compared to the market of 1.3, which means it
is riskier than a market portfolio. Also, assume that the risk-free rate is
3% and this investor expects the market to rise in value by 8% per year. The expected return of the stock based on the CAPM formula is
9.5%. The expected return of the CAPM formula is used to discount
the expected dividends and capital appreciation of the stock over the
expected holding period. If the discounted value of those future cash flows
is equal to $100 then the CAPM formula indicates the stock is fairly valued
relative to risk. (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capm.asp) · SML – Security Market Line

************ What is Free Cash Flow **************
What is free cash flow (video)
What is free cash
flow (FCF)? Why is it important?
•
FCF is the amount of cash available from operations for
distribution to all investors (including stockholders and debtholders) after
making the necessary investments to support operations.
•
A company’s value depends on the amount of FCF it can generate.
What are the five
uses of FCF?
1. Pay interest on debt.
2. Pay back principal on debt.
3. Pay dividends.
4. Buy back stock.
5. Buy nonoperating assets (e.g.,
marketable securities, investments in other companies, etc.)
What
are operating current assets?
•
Operating current assets are the CA
needed to support operations.
•
Op CA include: cash, inventory,
receivables.
•
Op CA exclude: short-term investments,
because these are not a part of operations.
What
are operating current liabilities?
•
Operating current liabilities are the
CL resulting as a normal part of operations.
•
Op CL include: accounts payable and
accruals.
•
Op CL exclude: notes payable, because
this is a source of financing, not a part of operations.
Capital expenditure = increases in NFA +
depreciation
Or, capital expenditure = increases in GFA

1. Firm AAA has EBIT (operating income) of $3 million, depreciation of $1 million. Firm AAA’s expenditures on fixed assets = $1 million. Its net operating working capital = $0.6 million. Calculate for free cash flow. Imagine that the tax rate =40%.
a. $1.2
b. $1.3
c. $1.4
d. $1.5
FCF = EBIT(1 – T) + Deprec. – (Capex + NOWC)
answer:
EBIT $3
Tax rate 40%
Depreciation $1
Capex + NOWC $1.60
So, FCF = $1.2
