Frequently asked questions
Is this a real portfolio, with real money?
Yes. It’s my own money and my own portfolio, in a real account at Trading 212, a regulated broker. Every move comes with the broker’s statement, with personal details covered.
How can I check you’re not making it up?
Every decision is published with its date and its reasoning before I know how it turns out. The same day it goes out on X, YouTube and Substack, where the date can’t be changed later, and the broker’s statement lets you check it without signing up.
When did it start, and with how much?
On 30 August 2026, with $40,000 in cash. The capital is fixed: I don’t add or withdraw money, so the return comes only from my decisions. Fees and taxes are paid from the account itself, and when taxes are due, they’ll be logged in the record.
Do you buy before or after publishing?
I buy or sell first, and that same day I publish everything: on social media, in this record and on Substack, with the analysis behind it. That way no one can say I publish after knowing how it turned out.
Can a move be deleted or edited?
No. No move is deleted or edited once it’s published, including the ones that go wrong. Wins and losses stay in the record exactly as they were written.
How often is the value updated?
Every day, at market close. The account value, the return and the date of the last update are at the top of this page.

Important notice
This is not a recommendation: it’s what I do with my money, and I don’t know your situation. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and investing carries risk, including total loss of capital.
