Wikifolio – Yet another fuckup – They cannot even a school math

Just had a look at one of my Wikifolios: the overall performance is positive but the annualized one is negative. Sorry guys (and gals): it is impossible, since the total performance is calculated according to (1+r)^t, where r is the annual[ized] return, an t is the [fractional] number of years (and the latter is obviously positive). Even if you use the formula of continuous rate \exp{(rt)} (which you definitely do not understand since it is slightly beyond the school math), it still cannot be so that r is negative but the overall performance is positive.

JuniorDepot29 – (Over)archieving the Financial Plan (thanks to AI and NI)

Since we did not report about Elle's progress for more than a year, the readers of letYourMoneyGrow.com might have thought that we have terminated our experiment of growing a 7 (currently 11) years young girl as an investor. Nope, not at all! As a matter of fact we worked hard on creation and test of a deep neural network for the stock (pre)selection. And it did work, our CAGR goal is (over)achieved!

HBecker schlägt Einstein – Risikomanagement zahlt sich aus!

Vor einigen Jahren habe ich die Performance von den besten Wikifolio Tradern Einstein und HBecker analysiert. Mein Verdikt war beide sind besser... und obwohl HBecker (damals) N2 war, wäre er für viele Investoren doch attraktiver im Sinne der risikoadjustierten Performance.

AIEQ the AI Powered Equity ETF: Artificial Intelligence is Still Losing to a Natural Stupidity

A year ago the Business Insider reported about the "the stocks market's robot revolution". Whereas the title was crying, a summary was more reserved: The fund has outperformed the S&P 500 so far, but a much longer trading period is needed to assess whether it can truly offer market-beating returns. I scheduled in my calendar to have a look at this fund in a year, telling a colleague, who pointed me on AIEQ that I would bet a bottle of whisky (bot not a farm!) that this ETF will perform worse than its benchmark. I turned out to be right.

Lukas Spang ist weder Warren Buffett noch ein Glückspilz, sondern…

Wikifolio ProReturn is 45% down – Greedy German pays the Price (over and over) again

ProReturn, one of the most popular wikifolios, lost about 45% of its value during recent market flash crash. Several millions  Euro disappeared within two days. But it seems that greedy German retail investors will never learn. Moreover, they don't want and are hardly able to learn, although the German school education system is free of charge an still much better than that in US and UK. Well, jedem das Seine!

HBecker – another star Trader on Wikifolio

Earlier we analyzed the performance of Einstein, a star trader on Wikifolio who has beaten (and continues to beat) the market. There is one more luminary on Wikifolio - and it is HBecker. Formally, Einstein is Number One in terms of absolute returns (by comparable historical drawdown). However, HBecker has even smoother equity curve and much better hit rate. If you still ask, who is better, the right answer is both are better! We summarize the trading history of HBecker and remind you that Wikifolio is an excellent place to learn from experienced traders but a bad place to invest your money unless you can deeply analyze the risks.HBecker Boersenbriefempfehlungen nutzen - equity Curve

Lukas Spang (Junolyst) – neuer Warren Buffett oder nur Glückspilz?

Wir analysieren die Performance eines der populärsten Wikifolios "Chancen suchen und finden" von Junolyst (Lukas Spang, 25 Jahre alt).
Ein gewisses Stockpicking-Talent ist beim Herrn Spang vermutbar, jedoch ist die Performance seines Wikifolios im Wesentlichen durch den allgemeinen starken Bullentrend bestimmt. Hingegen ist seine Trading-Fähigkeit sehr mäßig, seine 2420 Tranksaktionen sind meistens Noise.
Wikifolio "Chancen suchen und finden" (aktuell ca. €9 Mio AUM) stoßt schon jetzt auf die Grenze der Skalierbarkeit. Viele Aktien in Portfolio sind schon überbewertet und bei allen davon ist die Streubesitz-Quote ziemlich niedrig. Das bedeutet: bei fallendem Markt wird dieses Wikifolio (mindestens) ebenso stark fallen, wie es jetzt (bei steigendem Markt) wächst!
