the hypothesis

Using a variety of trading techniques and starting with only $500 for orangequant and $1000 for myself, we will each attempt to show that it is possible to return at least $50,000 (or 10,000%) in a period of 52 weeks. Our goal is to earn as little as 10%/week, which will usually amount to one play/week. Aside from making the right plays, we will have to deal with a variety of other factors including: settlement periods, commissions, and trading on multiple boards (Pink Sheets, OTCBB, Nasdaq, etc.) We will update our readers as much as possible regarding our plays, but will not give updates until we have exited a play entirely, so as not to influence the experiment in any way. Lastly, this is not a competition between the two of us — we are both pulling for one another and will on occasion seek advice from one another. The whole point of this experiment is to show other investors that you don’t need large returns on large investments, but rather that money can be made with small returns on small investments — as one of our good friends always says, “There’s no such thing as a bad profit.”
