About
Daily-rebalanced, equal-weight basket of 25 Reddit “dark horse” stock ideas; uses a social-signal universe and buys equal dollar amounts in each name, rebalancing daily. High turnover and speculative risk.
- Source a list of stock ideas from a Reddit post (Top 25 Dark Horse Bets for 2025).
- Treat every stock in that list as equally important (equal-dollar allocated).
- Each day, compute the total portfolio value and set a target value for each stock (total value ÷ number of stocks).
- Buy or sell shares so each stock’s value matches its target, preserving zero or positive cash only if desired.
- Repeat every trading day, keeping to the equities asset class.
- Tends to be tech/space/AI-oriented given the examples in the list; limited to US-listed equities in the provided basket.
- Risks include high turnover, reliance on a social signal, and potential liquidity or volatility issues with smaller names.
Out-of-sample: 63.5% annualized return, Sharpe 1.24, Calmar 1.58—clearly ahead of SPY’s 16.6% return and Sharpe 0.89. Positive alpha with disciplined risk control offers much higher upside and efficient risk vs the S&P 500.
