Comment on I built a free game where you try to beat a couch at timing the market. Over 80k plays later, the couch usually wins.

at the core it, it’s a fun little game and not much more a lot of people do “chart reading” to predict the market and this kind of pokes fun at that

the idea is trying to time the market (whether buying or selling) is very hard and the s&p500 usually wins over the mid-to-long run

and the other playing a couch is just to show how little of an effort it takes to make more money than trading - an inanimate object in an index fund can outperform you.
