An explicit formula is derived for the value of weak information in a discrete time model that works for a wide range of utility functions including the logarithmic and power utility. We assume a complete market with a finite number of assets and a finite number of possible outcomes. Explicit calculations are performed for a binomial model with two assets. The case of trinomial models is also discussed.
