I’m currently in an 8-week investment competition and I’m sitting on around 13k CHF portfolio value. There’s about one week left, and I’d need roughly another 20% gain to have a serious shot at the top.
I already made a strong move earlier with a leveraged oil position, but now I’m mostly in cash and trying to decide what the final high-conviction play should be.
The platform allows stocks/ETFs/ETPs, including some 3x leveraged products, so I’m considering whether it makes sense to go into something high-beta for the final week rather than play it safe. Since it’s a competition, I’m more open to risk than I would be with real long-term money.
Question for the sub:
If you needed around +20% in one week in a competition portfolio, what would you target? Would you go for 3x leveraged ETPs, earnings plays, Mag 7 momentum, crypto proxies, energy, or something else?
Not looking for guaranteed advice obviously, just interested in what people would consider in this kind of short-term, high-risk competition setup.
