THE COUCH'S $10,000, DAY BY DAY, REAL DAILY DATA
The WWII bull market. The market bottomed months after Pearl Harbor and then more than doubled while the war was still being fought. The headlines were terrifying the whole way up.
THE EXHIBIT: THE WWII BULL MARKET. EVERYONE WHO PLAYED WAS THERE.
Too few filings came in that day to say anything honest about the players. The window is real and the couch rode it all the same: it does not need an audience.
Player figures count every official and replayed attempt at this exact hand filed on the day it was dealt, from the run export of October 31, 2026. A win counts as SKILL only if it beats 90% of 1,000 monkeys replaying the same window with the same trade count and the same time in the market. Across the whole ledger the couch wins 62% of 120,800 games.
