      The sad thing is that they didn't recognize how great this could be. It pitches a real financially valid idea: that picking stocks randomly and staying as diverse as possible actually works. Only way to improve the algo would probably be to make sure that it doesn't buy too many repeat stocks.

      @@dogchaser520 It "works" in the sense that you're owning mainly the market risk in your portfolio by not having any particular preference for a certain type of stock. So if the market does well, so do you. Portfolio managers with skill can outperform that type of strategy by choosing what types of risks they want to own (large vs. small companies, ones that have been trending down vs. upward, growth vs. value companies, etc.)

OTOH, WSB proves rather concretely that crowd sourcing stock picks(aka gambling) doesn't work.
