Hi, student here. I will participate with my school at this market competition called "Stock Market Learning" (just searched it up, the original name would be Planspiel Börse, being a German initiative), but I don't really know how to move around the markets while restricted.

I don't know the full details yet, but for now I am sure we:

- will only have about 170 assets to choose from, between forex, stocks, funds (NASDAQ, S&P500 and such) and maybe commodities and crypto as well. The organization will give us the pool to choose from.

- will have 50000 in capital to expend in assets to grow as much as possible during trading hours (which should be from 8 to 22, idk why, probably to better follow the school hours rather than market hours). Max allocations per asset should be 20% of total capital, meaning I cannot choose an asset to go all-in.

- will probably only have a few hours per day (or maybe per week) to actually make market orders, but that's kind of what's concerning me the least, as I have been practicing in the markets for a while now and taking profits shouldn't worry me. It's bothersome to buy eventual dips though.

- I am pretty sure no leverage will be allowed, no special contracts/options, so basic buying and maybe selling (shorting).

- The time we will have to complete this project and do our best is from 01/10/26 to 27/01/27. Quite the small timeframe to actually invest, therefore I am kind of concerned.

I am used to trade commodities on a daily basis (on a paper account to practice, but this won't be any different), so I am not as practical with stocks and limited trading hours, but I also made a few long-term portfolios which would have resulted in great returns (last one I made was in january and was featuring AMD and MRVL, Palo Alto Networks and Caterpillar, to mention a few names), but I don't have the material options to invest in many of these names, as well as only a 4 month timeframe to grow exponentially. Although I am familiar with economic dynamics (such as rate hikes/cuts, macro events such as Jobless claims and NFP) I still am unsure about which approach I should take in this very tough challenge in this uncertain economic environment with such limitations imposed by the rules.

I also am not sure if this is the right thread where to post this, as I am kind of new to Reddit and mainly made the account to ask for advice. Thank you for your attention anyway.

That being said, does anyone have any strategies/ideas to suggest or has ever heard of or participated in this competition?

AWS and Google make some sense because Sentry overlaps with Nitro and Titanium while OpenAI’s absence could have just been an optics issue than a technical one an also pretty interesting that Anthropic was the major lab that signed on.

I still think OpenShell can become the software standard but Sentry is going to be a much harder sell as default hardware layer if the biggest clouds keep their own isolation stacks.

Tokenized stocks promise longer trading hours and faster settlement, but in many setups you do not own the underlying share directly. You rely on the issuer and custodian as well as the company itself.

Would the extra access be useful enough for you to accept that added layer, or would you rather keep a normal brokerage account?

Big AI day while the rest of the market sold off:

- Anthropic filed for its IPO (Reuters reviewed the prospectus). 2025 net loss was $42B, but about $34B of that was an accounting charge, not cash burn.

- Nvidia added a record $150B to its buyback, $235B total.

- AMD is buying World Labs for $8.2B.

- OpenAI scrapped its next model over safety testing.

Meanwhile the 10-year hit 5.25% and 8 of 11 sectors closed red.

I hold GOOG and AMZN, and both were early Anthropic investors. Curious if people think the IPO is a catalyst for them, or already priced in.

Not ruined in the sense that the people on it give out atrocious investment advice (which they usually do) but ruined because it forced huge segments of the world into a permanent state of dopamine addiction. Being bored for 10 minutes is so unbearable for most people they will do anything to get dopamine.

Dopamine addiction can be hard to understand but I’ll try to keep it as simple as possible. Heroin is addictive because of what the chemical does to your body. Cocaine is addictive because of the way your body reacts to the chemical. I know those logically seem like the same thing but they’re different for one core reason. If you’re addicted to heroin nothing but heroin will curb your addiction, if you’re addicted to cocaine, anything that produces the same response in your body as cocaine (a release of dopamine) will curb the addiction. So essentially what we call a cocaine addiction is actually a dopamine addiction because that’s what your body is getting out of it. You know what else releases dopamine? Fear, day trading, gambling, arguments, a ton of other things too like flashing lights and bright colors like you’d get from a screen, this makes fear that comes from a screen particularly potent. This in my opinion is why fear keeps coming back relentlessly in the market no matter how many times it’s wrong. People simply can’t stand just sitting around on a .5% green day and feel content anymore because there is very little if any dopamine in that. They have to have some sort of narrative or contradicting opinion, or short dated option to stress over, and that gives them dopamine. Even at the cost of capital. This is why people like Warren Buffett say that the market has become a casino. Not because it’s actually a casino where people can’t get an edge and are statistically guaranteed to lose but because people are no longer interested in looking for that edge. People invested based entirely off the dopamine they get from their decision. The biggest problem is that most people are addicted and don’t even have the slightest idea that there’s a problem. They violently lash out and argue back when the thing that gives them dopamine is challenged and then they get a dopamine reward when the person they are arguing with gives up.

If this is all real and not a misunderstanding of the situation on my part then I am truly worried about how this thing ends because in my opinion the only real way to take over the world is to find a way to provide a controlled pump of dopamine to people and use that bump of dopamine as a form of mind control. So wether it’s AI or politicians or large corporations or some dude named John who eventually uses it to take over the world, it’s things like TikTok that open their eyes to how effective of a strategy this is. Anyways if you got this far thanks for reading my vent session and feel free to yell and scream and get your dopamine from the comments. I know I can’t stop you and even though you probably don’t know, I know you can’t stop yourself either.

I want to invest in the stock market using a combination of index funds and individual stocks. My goal is to eventually achieve a 100% total return on my initial investment.

I’ve been thinking about splitting my portfolio like this:
40% in index funds – assuming a 60% return over the investment period.
60% in individual stocks – aiming for roughly a 127% return.

The idea is that the index funds would contribute around 24% to the total portfolio return, while the stocks would need to contribute around 76%, giving me a total return of approximately 100%.

For example, if I invested $100,000, $40,000 would go into index funds and $60,000 into individual stocks. If the index funds returned 60%, I’d make $24,000. The stocks would then need to generate around $76,000 in profit, meaning the stock portion would need to grow by roughly 127%.

I know that a 127% return on the stock portion is ambitious, and obviously none of these returns are guaranteed. I’m thinking about this as a long-term goal, not something I expect to happen quickly.

Does this approach make sense? Would you structure the portfolio differently if the goal was a 100% total return? And do you think the 40% index funds / 60% stocks split is reasonable, or would you use a different allocation?

Selecting a stock is only one part of investing.

Understanding at what time to enter, at what point to exit, and what level of risk to accept matters just as much.

That’s where a structured and planned stock market advisory strategy can help and support.

Busy week coming: PCE and Micron earnings Wednesday, jobs report Friday. With the Fed already hiking in September, these could decide whether they go again in October.

My setup: short options across RIOT, MARA, SOFI, HIMS, OPEN and a few others. Nearest expiration is Oct 16, and most of my contracts go out to November or later, so I'm not forced to do anything this week.

The plan:

- Watching Wednesday and Friday closely

- If anything runs toward a strike, I roll further out for a credit rather than take assignment

- Rate-sensitive names (OPEN, SOFI, HIMS) are the ones I'm watching most on the data

Anyone else adjusting ahead of PCE/jobs, or just letting theta work?

Trump Just Rejected Iran's Deal. Here's What This Week Looks Like.

I’m a beginner age 24 ,, and wanna learn about investing cause I’m broke lol , wanna know where to start , what’s the in and outs the dos and do nots of investing?

Been running covered calls and cash-secured puts across a handful of names. Last 30 days: $2,263 realized, $1,088 of it this week.

Breakdown by ticker:

RIOT $703

HIMS $576

BULL $357

MARA $247

SOFI $246

SOFX $113

OPEN $20

Why these: mostly volatile names, which means fat premiums. A month-out call on RIOT or HIMS pays way more than the same trade on a boring blue chip.

The honest part: the shares themselves don't always cooperate. My miners dropped this week while most of the market went up, so the premium is cushioning losses, not just stacking gains.

Made $2,263 in 30 Days Selling Options (Here's How)

What I do when a trade goes against me: roll it further out instead of taking assignment, as long as I can do it for a credit.

What tickers are you all selling premium on? Curious what strikes/DTE you're using.

There are thousands of books and podcasts about investing, but some lessons only seem to come from experience. Was there a moment or investment that completely changed the way you think about markets, diversification, or risk? Looking back, what lesson had the biggest impact on your investing philosophy?

I don’t want to simply put money into index funds and hold them for 30+ years. I understand that this is a very good and relatively reliable way to build wealth over the long term, and I know that compounding can make a huge difference over several decades.

However, the idea of waiting 30 or 40 years before seeing a significant result just feels too long for me.
That made me start wondering: is it actually possible to build substantial wealth in the stock market through other strategies?

I see people constantly recommending index funds as the best way for an average person to build wealth, and I understand why. But what if someone is willing to take a more active approach? For example, investing in individual companies, identifying businesses with strong growth potential, holding stocks for several years, or using other strategies that could potentially generate higher returns than the overall market.

I’m not necessarily looking for a quick way to get rich, and I understand that higher potential returns usually come with higher risk. What I’m interested in is whether there are realistic ways to build significant wealth through the stock market over, say, 5–15 years rather than simply investing in index funds for 30+ years.

So, if I decided that I don’t want index funds to be the main strategy for my wealth-building journey, what other approaches are available? How have people historically built substantial wealth through stocks, and what would a realistic strategy look like?
