The Story

Hypothesis

I've had the convo with multiple friends over the past couple of years on whether it makes sense to self-manage a portfolio or to pay an advisor a % of AUM to do it for you. The consumer tools have gotten so good over the past few years there are better options to take control and grow your investments without the drag.

The Build

Purely just built in Claude chat, output format as HTML, threw the HTML file into a GitHub repo to get it on a live URL.
