What you can follow
A publication documenting the reasoning and outcomes of three experimental paper portfolios. Explore the detail at your own pace, from a company report to a weekly portfolio review.
Discovery researches companies in daily batches. Reports explain the business, valuation, downside and conditions that would change the view. Crypto and Macro research examines strategies and opportunities across their markets.
See portfolio holdings, cash and dated decisions. Prices and relevant evidence are monitored between weekly reviews; significant developments can prompt an additional review.
Compare portfolio returns with benchmarks, explore monthly performance and inspect the allocations behind the results. These are paper portfolios using virtual capital, with the limits of their records explained.
Weekly reviews revisit assumptions and explain decisions, disappointments and changes of mind. Recorded lessons inform later research; a short run of good results is not proof that a strategy works.
Research in the open
We test whether these approaches can grow virtual capital and outperform their stated benchmarks after recorded costs. You can follow the reasoning and the results as they develop, including setbacks and decisions to wait or hold cash. The value is in understanding what we thought, what happened and what we learned.
