Why Your Portfolio Deserves a Fantasy League
Stock picking is not dead. You just need a better playbook and the right data bench.
Do you remember the first time you watched a stock analyst talk on TV? Maybe it was BNN, Bloomberg, or CNBC. They broke down stocks like sports analysts talk about quarterbacks.
You got hooked.
You started making a few picks. Some hit, some flopped. But what stuck was that rush of thinking, “I could do this.”
Then something changed. The fun faded. The experts started sounding like marketers. You got busy. Markets got noisy. You stopped picking stocks - not because it stopped working, but because it stopped feeling possible.
So what?
Because now, with the right tools, you can bring the fun back - but this time, play against the pros.
With systematic investing, you are not just guessing any more. You are using real, tested strategies - the kind hedge funds use - to build your edge.
And the best part? You can do it on your terms.
Why Fantasy Sports = Better Investing Than You Think
If you have played fantasy sports, you already get this.
- You scout.
- You compare stats.
- You draft a team.
- You track performance.
Investing is the same game - only the stakes are higher.
Stocks are players. Your portfolio is your team. A good stock screener is your draft room. You can filter for speed (momentum), strength (balance sheet), or value (undervalued price).
Then you track your picks, measure performance, and adjust. It feels like fantasy football - but it builds your wealth, not just bragging rights.
Why Most Investors Gave Up on Stock Picking
You are not alone if you gave up on stock picking. The world made it hard. There is too much noise, too little time, and too many conflicting opinions. Financial media turned investing into hype and fear.
But it was never you that failed - it was the system. Most investors lose money not because they are dumb, but because they lack a proven process. The solution is not to give up. It is to get the right tools.
So what?
So you can compete. Really compete. Against institutions. Against market noise. Against your own past mistakes. You are not guessing any more. You are following a system that works - just like the pros do.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Can I really beat the market using a stock screener like this?
Yes. Many investors have done it using backtested, data-driven strategies like Magic Formula or Piotroski F-Score. The key is using a system, not guesses. These strategies use real financial metrics - like earnings yield, return on capital, or momentum - to find strong stocks. With the screener, you build your own rules and test if they work over 5 or 10 years. That gives you confidence, not confusion.
2. How is this like fantasy football?
Both games are about scouting, stats, strategy, and tracking. In fantasy football, you pick players. In investing, you pick stocks. You draft based on stats like earnings or momentum. You track performance and refine your picks. The fun comes back when you treat your portfolio like a team you manage and improve.
3. What if I picked bad stocks in the past?
That is normal. Most investors lose money because they lack a process, not because they are dumb. This time is different. With the screener, you build a system you can trust. It uses real data, not tips or hype. That puts you back in control - and takes the guesswork out.
4. How do I know which filters to use in the screener?
Start simple. Pick a few proven metrics:
-
Free Cash Flow Yield (shows cheap, cash-generating stocks),
-
6-month Price Momentum (shows strong trends),
-
Piotroski F-Score (shows quality financials).
Use the screener to filter 22,000+ global stocks based on these. Then backtest your top 10 picks to see how they would have done. You can save your filters and adjust them as you learn.
5. What makes this better than just buying an ETF?
ETFs are passive. You take what the market gives. With this, you play offence. You test strategies that have beaten the market over 10+ years. That gives you an edge. Plus, you learn more, grow faster, and build confidence with every pick.
6. What if I do not have a lot of time?
You do not need much. Start with 30 minutes. Use the screener to test one strategy, like Magic Formula or ERP5. Build your “Top 10 Picks League.” Check in weekly. The system does the hard work - filtering, sorting, backtesting. You just choose the strategy and track results.
7. Is this for beginners or only pros?
It is for both. You do not need to be an expert. The screener was built by investors, for investors. It gives you powerful tools - but keeps things simple. You can learn as you go. The more you use it, the better your picks get.
