Disclaimer
Plain language, no legalese dodge: Delayed/indicative data for education only. Not financial advice.
Not financial advice
Everything on Mockfolio — prices, charts, pick'em scores, and any commentary — is for education and entertainment only. It is not financial advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and not a solicitation. I am not a financial advisor, and nothing here creates an advisor-client relationship.
Paper trading only
The pick'em game uses imaginary money. No real trades are placed, no real gains or losses occur, and a good score here does not mean you would make money investing real dollars.
Data is delayed and indicative
Market data is sourced from Yahoo Finance's free endpoints, is delayed, and may contain errors or gaps. Prices shown are indicative only — always verify with your broker before making any real decision.
Past performance doesn't predict anything
A stock that went up last week, last year, or for a decade can go down tomorrow. Backtests and track records describe the past, not the future. Around 90% of professional fund managers underperform a plain S&P 500 index fund over 15-year periods (S&P SPIVA scorecards) — keep that in mind before believing anyone's picks, including a website's.
Do your own research
If you're considering investing real money, do your own research and consider talking to a licensed financial professional who understands your situation. Never invest money you can't afford to lose, and never make decisions based on a personal-project website.
No account, no personal data
Mockfolio has no accounts and no server. Your pick'em entries are stored only in your own browser's local storage. Nothing is sent anywhere.
