How it works

1 · Pick the moment

The day you almost bought. The day you sold too early. Any date with market data — exact trading-day precision on the most-followed tickers.

2 · The math

Historical closing prices, adjusted for splits and reinvested dividends — total return, the same number your brokerage would show.

3 · The verdict

A regret score, the best and worst timing in your window, and a share card built for group chats and shame.

Methodology

Historical total-return data for every US-listed ticker plus major crypto and indices.

Prices are month-end closes for tables and exact trading-day closes in the calculator where available, adjusted for splits and reinvested dividends. Sources: Yahoo Finance historical data, Coin Metrics for pre-exchange crypto history.

Figures ignore taxes, fees, and inflation, and history never guarantees the future. This site is entertainment and education — not investment advice.
