How Does This Work?
We take real historical price data (up to 5 years) for each stock and run 5,000 "what if" scenarios. Think of it like replaying the next year thousands of times with different market conditions based on how the stock actually behaved in the past.
What You'll See on Each Stock Page
- Bad Year / Most Likely / Good Year — what could happen to a $10,000 investment
- Chance of losing money — how often you'd end up with less than you started
- Price swings — how much the stock typically moves day-to-day
- S&P 500 comparison — is this stock riskier than just buying an index fund?
Why This Matters
Most investors don't know the actual risk they're taking. Understanding the range of possible outcomes helps you make better decisions about position sizing, diversification, and whether a stock fits your risk tolerance.
