0·1 month agoyeah, i’m thinking about it. maybe i’ll launch it on the app and add it to the web version. but not sure yet, not even sure if it’s worth the effort for an app

0·2 months agoit uses S&P500 which isn’t necessarily winning stocks. although it wins over the long term, lots of losing years are included here.

0·2 months agoit’s over two years so while not long term, it’s not short either. lots of ups and downs. but i’m thinking of adding a career mode with 2x10 years, start with 10k, see where you end up kind of thing.

0·2 months agoyeah, that’s the whole point of the game. “trading” is the one that will not work in the long term. staying in the index fund is the good option.

0·2 months agothe two lines are certainly harder/confusing to follow, i preferred the absolute numbers at the top. the preachy thing is certainly a choice, i do want to make a point with this. the whole thing is based on that tone of voice. i hear you, it’ll turn some people off and i think i’m ok with it. appreciate the honest feedback.

0·2 months agothere’s opportunity in trading. but to assume you’ll get the benefit is very similar to assuming you’ll beat the casino. it’s possible, but unlikely, especially in the long term.

0·2 months agoat the core it, it’s a fun little game and not much more a lot of people do “chart reading” to predict the market and this kind of pokes fun at that
the idea is trying to time the market (whether buying or selling) is very hard and the s&p500 usually wins over the mid-to-long run
and the other playing a couch is just to show how little of an effort it takes to make more money than trading - an inanimate object in an index fund can outperform you.

yeah, sometimes i think i know the cycle and still get it wrong. too similar and not too similar at the same time. glad you liked it mate
