Five Portfolio Ideas to Try in Equity Replay

The most useful portfolio example is not the one with the most impressive result. It is the one with a clear idea behind the percentages.

Here are five portfolio prompts you can try in Equity Replay. Each one is a starting point for comparison, not a recommendation.

1. Berkshire disclosure snapshot

Open the Berkshire example to see how a small set of disclosed positions can be normalized into a comparable allocation. Start by reading the date and disclosure note before reading the chart.

2. A simple equal-weight mix

Choose four stocks and assign 25% to each. An equal-weight replay is easy to explain and gives you a clean baseline for comparing a more concentrated version of the same names.

3. A concentrated core

Choose four companies and give the largest position 40% or 50%, then distribute the rest across the other positions. The point is to see how much the largest weight shapes the chart and contribution breakdown.

4. A large-company basket

Create a mix of familiar large companies with weights that add to 100%. Keep the names constant, then compare equal weights with a custom emphasis. This isolates the effect of allocation from the effect of changing the stock list.

5. A public disclosure replay

Use the Donald Trump public-disclosure example as a reminder that a disclosure-based mix is a normalized what-if, not a complete statement of current ownership. Check the source, date, and assumptions before changing the weights.

For every prompt, use the same routine: make the weights total 100%, choose a range, review the chart, change one allocation, and update the estimate. Equity Replay applies the mix once at the beginning. It does not place trades, add money, withdraw money, or rebalance during the historical window.
