Today's score
Come back tomorrow for five new ones. Your streak lives in this browser, so it survives a refresh but not a different device.
Hard mode: name it
Same idea, no hints. Three charts, four options each. All four are the same kind of asset, so volatility will not tell you which is which.
Chart 1 of 3. Which one is this?
Chart 2 of 3. Which one is this?
Chart 3 of 3. Which one is this?
Why this is harder than it looks
Almost nobody beats 3 out of 5 consistently, and that is the point. A chart that has run up for two years looks like it must keep going, or like it must be due a fall, depending entirely on what you already believe. Neither is information. If you find yourself certain, that is worth noticing, because the certainty is coming from the shape rather than from anything the shape knows.
When you want the real ones with the labels on: the charts, the market boards, or what a lump sum in any of them would be worth now.
Charts are real monthly closing prices from Yahoo Finance, drawn from a random window of each asset's history. Nothing on this page is investment advice, and a game is not a strategy.
