I Let My Chat Invest $10,000 to prove it's all luck
Channel: Ludwig
Duration: 22:53
The Big Picture
In a wildly entertaining experiment, Ludwig challenged his YouTube chat to invest $10,000 in a stock picking game against himself, a stock professional, and a baby. While initially filled with comedy as chat made absurd picks, the result was an interesting lesson in investing. Despite some success, both Ludwig and his chat underperformed compared to simply following the S&P 500 index. The stock guy barely beat the market, proving that expertise, or perhaps just lucky expert picks, can make a difference.
Chapter Breakdown
- Act I: Setup - Ludwig decides to trust his chat with $10,000, comparing them to a goldfish, and sets up the competition with himself, a pro stock trader, and a baby.
- Act II: Development - The chaos ensues as chat picks stocks based on memes, animal sounds, and whims while Ludwig introduces the fundamentally sound stocks and trashes some chat choices.
- Act III: Conclusion - Ludwig reveals the final standings; despite beating his chat by a slim margin, both were bested by the stock guy, proving the humor and futility of outguessing the market.
Highlights

- Investing in war machines or FaZe Clan stock based on whims.
- The final reveal where the baby initially leads the competition.
- The realization Ludwig was slightly better but not by a lot.

Quote of the Moment
"Get absolutely f**king trounced, chat! Let's go baby, I beat you by $58."
Controversial Takes
- Chat choosing stocks based on animal names or memes reflects the randomness and sometimes lack of rationale in investment choices.
Is It Clickbait?
Clickbait verdict: Not Clickbait — Ludwig's experiment with his chat investing $10,000 shows that despite some unexpected gains, raw humor and randomness in stock picking led to underperforming against the S&P 500, proving it's not just luck but also some informed decisions that count in investing.
