In this article, we will take a detailed look at the 15 Stocks ChatGPT Says Will Make Me Rich in 10 Years. For a quick overview of the 5 such stocks, read our article 5 Stocks ChatGPT Says Will Make Me Rich in 10 Years.
Picking individual stocks to beat the market is getting harder by the day, thanks to rising volatility, increasing competition and receding transparency. More and more young investors are gravitating towards the idea of investing their money into broader market index funds instead of individual stocks. Jeremy Siegel in his book “Stocks for the Long Run” wrote a chapter titled “Building Wealth Through Stocks.” In this chapter the Professor of Finance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia shares some data showing how difficult it is to say with confidence that the money manager you are trusting with your savings actually knows their job.
“Even if money managers choose stocks that have an expected return of 1 percent per year better than the market, there is only a 62.7 percent probability that they will exceed the average market return after 10 years and only a 71.2 percent probability that they will exceed the average market return after 30 years. If managers pick stocks that will outperform the market by 2 percent per year, there is still only a 74.0 percent chance that they will outperform the market after 10 years. This means there is a 1-in-4 chance that they will still fall short of the average market performance. The length of time needed to be reasonably certain that superior managers will outperform the market will most surely outlive their trial period for determining their real worth.”
Can AI Pick Individual Stocks and Beat the Market?
AI is taking over the world and with AI-powered machines beating chess masters, creating songs and world-class art, many are asking why can’t AI be used for stock picking? AI and machine learning has been used by a lot of hedge funds for years now. But we are still years away from a time when AI would be able to process billions of data points and do predictive analysis on stock movements to pick stocks for the future. Bloomberg’s Justina Lee in October talked to hedge funds who are trying to use AI to beat the market. So far their performance hasn’t been impressive because, according to Lee, the financial data is a lot “noisier” and there are many moving parts which AI algorithms still need to process.
But the advances made by AI in stock picking are huge. Back in 2021, Bloomberg had reported that researchers at the University of Oxford said they have designed a machine learning model with a capability to predict stock price movements. They claimed that the model posted a whopping 80% success rate for the equivalent of about 30 seconds of live trading.

For this article we asked ChatGPT to wear the hat of a professional stock advisor and recommend us stocks that it believes can make one rich in the next ten years. Here is our exact prompt:
"Assume the role of a professional stock advisor for some time and recommend me 15 stocks based on your data which can make one rich in the next 10 to 15 years."
As expected ChatGPT started its response by reminding us that it's only a language processor and for stock recommendations one should contact professional stock advisors. Nonetheless the chatbot did mention 15 stocks it believes have the potential for growth. It's important to note that ChatGPT based its recommendations on the past performance of these stocks. Here was ChatGPT's response after its standard warnings and cautions:
"I can suggest 15 stocks from various sectors that have shown strong potential historically, but please consider these suggestions as a starting point for your own research."
We asked ChatGPT why did it recommend these stocks and does it believe they can make one rich in the next decade? The chatbot said:
"Investing in well-established, fundamentally strong companies like the ones mentioned earlier can potentially generate wealth and profits over the long term. However, there are no guarantees in the stock market, and future performance is always uncertain."
It also said:
"The recommendations for these stocks are based on various factors that historically indicate strong performance and potential for growth. These companies have exhibited strong fundamentals, innovative capabilities, diversified revenue streams, and market dominance in their respective sectors, which could potentially contribute to their future growth and long-term success. However, always consider market conditions, competition, economic factors, and changes in technology when making investment decisions."
Let's start our list of stocks that have the potential to make one rich in the next decade. The list is sorted in ascending order of the number of hedge fund investors in these companies.

“PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) was a detractor from performance during the quarter. Total payment volume grew +11% while revenues grew +8% – both FX-neutral. Adjusted operating earnings grew +20%. E-commerce industry sales trends have normalized back to their pre-pandemic trend of growth, with high-margin branded payments keeping track with the industry. Despite this, investors continue to be concerned that PayPal’s fast-growing private-label payments solutions will dilute Company returns. However, payments is a very scalable business, and the Company will be able to manage both private label and branded for attractive returns and double-digit growth. While multiples in the payment industry have significantly compressed, especially after the multi-year process of being added to the index @inancial sector, PayPal’s businesses are substantially different enough from traditional spread-based businesses; in addition to possessing much more compelling growth drivers, PayPal’s well below market multiple should revert to its higher, historical average.”

We might have left you with the feeling that we are bearish because we don’t find the Magnificent 7 attractive. Let us make it clear: we are just not so pessimistic as to believe there are only 7 growth opportunities in the entire global equity market. In fact, we are optimists and think opportunity is abundant. Just not in everyone’s current 7 favorite stocks.”

“Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX): NFLX was a top detractor in the quarter on weaker than expected reported and guided revenue, despite 2Q subscriber growth that was well above expectations (+5.9 million versus estimates of +2.1 million). The company’s subscriber growth re-accelerated following the company’s crack down on password sharing, and the rollout of the advertising supported subscriber offering known as the Ad Tier, but the average revenue per user came in below expectations and is expected to remain muted in the near term. NFLX reiterated expectations for full year 2023 operating margins of 18-20%, and guided free cash flow to at least $5 billion, up from prior guidance of $3.5 billion. Despite the positive momentum in the company’s business, market participants took comments from management at a recent conference to mean revenue growth may be slower in the coming years than expected. This was not our interpretation of these comments.

Here is what Polen Global Growth has to say about Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:
“Both Alphabet and Adobe’s businesses continue to perform well. With respect to Adobe, the most recent quarter delivered more of the same with constant currency revenue growing 13%, margin expansion, and over 2% of shares outstanding repurchased for non-GAAP earnings growth of over 20%. We believe its approach to GenAI through Firefly, which guarantees safe content because it trains on Adobe Stock, will continue to be attractive to enterprises. The counter to GenAI, and something we are keeping an eye on with Alphabet and Adobe, is that it requires heavy investment. While both businesses can leverage their scale and manage costs in other areas, we expect the investment in future growth through GenAI will weigh on company-wide margins over the near term.”

“Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM), a company we’ve owned since 2019, recently added ChatGPT-like capabilities onto its existing Al module, Einstein, to support its internal sales efforts and customer-facing software. For example, Einstein GPT can help generate marketing emails tailored to specific clients by using Salesforce’s customer database and past email correspondence to learn the most effective approach for each client. Einstein GPT is also different from off-the-shelf LLMS in three important ways: It keeps personal identifiable information private and secure, compared with external tools that retain anything a user enters. It employs the latest data in Salesforce’s system, as opposed to the sometimes-stale public data that train generic models.
