Outlines
🤑 Stock Market Experiment with YouTube Chat
The video script describes an experiment where the host gives $10,000 to their YouTube chat audience to invest in stocks. The chat members can suggest stock names, and a program randomly selects two for voting. The chat decides which stock to buy with $500, repeating this 20 times. The chat's investment choices are pitted against the host, a professional stock trader, and the trader's newborn baby, who also make their own stock picks. The goal is to see who performs best after a year. The host humorously expresses doubt about the chat's investment acumen, comparing it to a goldfish's ability to pick stocks.
📈 Stock Selection Process and Initial Investments
The script details the process of stock selection by the YouTube chat, starting with Roblox and AMC. The host provides a brief analysis of each stock's performance, mentioning AMC's peak during the COVID-19 pandemic and Roblox's significant growth. The chat continues to vote on stocks like Tesla, which has shown an uptick in performance, and Caterpillar, chosen for unclear reasons. The host also mentions a professional stock trader's involvement in the experiment, emphasizing the need for secrecy around their picks to preserve the surprise of the outcome.
🚜 Diverse Stock Picks and Voting Drama
The chat's stock picks become more varied, including Home Depot, which wins in a close vote against Amazon. The script also covers the selection of General Dynamics, a defense company, over FaZe Clan, a gaming organization. The chat's investment strategy seems unconventional, with picks like a semiconductor manufacturer (ASML) and a vape company (RLX). The host interjects with commentary on the chat's logic and the performance of the chosen stocks, adding humor and skepticism to the process.
🏥 Controversial Stock Choices and Market Comparisons
The script continues with the chat selecting stocks like British American Tobacco and Taiwan Semiconductor. The host compares their own and the chat's performance against the S&P 500, noting that both have done well but still underperformed the market index. The host also introduces a 'baby' competitor, suggesting that even a baby could outperform them. The script ends with a cliffhanger, indicating that the final results of the stock market experiment will be revealed in the video.
👶 The Stock Market Showdown: Results and Reflections
The final paragraph reveals the outcome of the stock market experiment. The host, despite beating the chat by a small margin, underperformed compared to the S&P 500. The 'stock guy' emerges as the winner, narrowly edging out the market index. The chat's performance places them third, only outperforming the 'baby' competitor. The host reflects on the wisdom of index fund investing over individual stock picking, concluding that the experiment shows the challenges of beating the market, even with expert knowledge.

Transcripts
one of my favorite videos on YouTube is
when Michael Reeves gives his goldfish
money to invest in the stock market and
miraculously that fish does better than
most financial advisers so I wanted to
do the same thing but who do I know
that's dumber than a goldfish my YouTube
chat so I gave him $10,000 to invest and
see over the course of a year how much
money they would make or wouldn't make
this is a big [ __ ] mistake the way it
works is simple anybody in my chat can
spam the name of a stock and then a
program will autop populate two of them
chat will look into the stocks and vote
on which one they want to buy for $500
we repeat the process 20 times and uh-oh
you've spent $10,000 we wait one full
year and then we see how much it's worth
but I needed to give the chat
competition to make sure they would do a
good job and so their competition
today is me not just me it's also the
stock guy a professional stock Trader
and his newborn baby we're all going to
buy 20 stocks for $500 each and see who
does the best at the very end subscribe

how do you guys feel about your your
your odds I feel like this isn't going
to be a fun experiment to see who's
going to do better I think you guys are
just going to lose me a lot of money
which maybe I should have seen coming do
you think I'm going to do better than
you I'm not exactly the stock expert
although I would like to imagine that
I'm smarter than my YouTube chat my
Investment Portfolio is down um a lot in
the past year not doing great around
these
parts welcome back to the stream
everybody how's it going how's everybody
doing today how we doing I hope I didn't
leave you waiting too long I understand
it took a bit of time but I finally
crunched the numbers now the first thing
we need to look at is the facts and the
facts are that although we are comparing
how we did against each other we have to
also compare how we did against the
market as a whole and over the past 12
months serendipitously it has been a
fantastic year if you bought stocks the
S&P 500 which is an aggregate of like
the total stock market and how it is
performing is up almost 32% so
technically anything that underperforms
the S&P 500 is probably a failure first
up we have a competitor and I just I
decided to take just a little bite-size
to look at the first initial peaks in
this date range in this competitor from
March 23rd to July 11th went from
$10,000 to
11,34 which is a gain of over 10% but is
still $100 off from the S&P now I want
you to take a guess who this is they
also had the first initial Spike they
were in first place towards the start of
the competition which of the four do you
think this
is I don't know how a lot of you get
guess correctly you're right it was the
baby the baby July 11th was at
$1,314 this is the entire chart between
myself and you guys
and you can see it ramps up a lot at the
end there and I want to tell you between
me and you where we are
today is a difference of
$58 $58 Separates Me and You guys who do
you think
won the
answer get absolutely [ __ ] trout
[ __ ] let's go baby
take a look today we have
$2,451 for chat
[Music]
$12,597.28 ly different at times but at
the end of the [ __ ] day baby I beat
you now you might be wondering very
fairly what about our other competitors
so let's go over all the portfolios
right now lwigs picks vers chat's picks
over the year uh and you can see the
price today I've beat you guys by
$58 and although although you might be
thinking to yourself damn you know even
though you won lwig and that's your
[ __ ] piece of [ __ ] you probably
rigged this we both did really well this
is crazy it's it's in fact it's insane
how well we both did you might start to
think that maybe we know what the [ __ ]
we're doing the answer no the [ __ ] we
don't because although I did beat you
guys if I were to have just put
$10,000 into the S&P
500 I would currently be sitting at
$3,281 but I am not sitting at
$3,281 I am $700 off that because I
decided to do my own picks which is why
you'll often get the wisdom that people
say hey rather than investing into
stocks and doing it yourself if you just
buy an index fund the boring safe
investment route basically you will
probably win over a longer period of
time than if you are trying to beat the
stock market yourself and that is the
case for both myself and for you guys
and if you're wondering how the baby did
things didn't go so great at the worst
the baby was $2,000 below the S&P 500
now having said that the market did so
well the baby still made over $1,000 I
mean that's pretty good and the final
the final man who I have not showed this
entire time and I begrudgingly have to
show you now is a man who describes
himself as the stock guy which is like a
dotom era Boomer name for yourself like
imagine calling yourself like the stream
guy
and you would think you would think you
know a guy with a name like the stock
guy would either do really well or maybe
do embarrassingly bad cuz he's talking
out of his ass the entire year but
unfortunately I am not here to [ __ ] on
the stock guy cuz man did he [ __ ]
crush and he is the only person of the
four competitors to have beaten the S&P
500 sure not by a
lot but impressively got a 30
4.27% return ending at just over
$13,400 beating the S&P 500 by just a
couple hundred bucks not even like 140
bucks so shout out to stock guy for this
insane last second comeback right here
narrowly edging out the S&P 500 uh and
that that ladies and gentlemen is how
y'all did in the stock market against
myself stock guy and an actual baby so
so first place stock guys second place
me third place you guys and you only
beat a baby Drakes and chat way to beat
a baby that's
[Music]
huge
