I aggregated a list of 25 stocks from a discussion thread and will invest $25 in each for a year to test if they beat the S&P 500. Thoughts?
i have experimented with small scale investments in the past and think that using $25 per stock offers a useful rough simulation, but be wary that such small amounts may not capture transaction fees or other costs that come with practical trading. over time, it may be more insightful to increase the investment or complement your study with historical data analysis. careful documentation of each outcome and periodic review can help you understand market behavior more deeply. overall, the experiment device may unearth some trends, but keep a keen eye on hidden variables that could affect the results.
hey, sounds like a neat experiment but $25 per stock might not reveal full market risks. might wanna think abt scaling up invest amounts over time. good luck!
Hey Zoe67, I think it’s an awesome idea to dip your toes in with a controlled experiment like this! It’s such a fun way to explore different stocks even though a $25 setup might not capture every nuance of real trading. I’d say keep a little rough journal of what’s happening with each choice so you can look back on any small trends you notice (and who knows, you might catch a surprise darkhorse in the mix!). Your plan is creative and super hands-on, and it’s all about learning and having some fun with it. Can’t wait to hear what you discover over the year
