How StockJungle Works
Most stock sites give you one opinion and call it research. We do the opposite. StockJungle is built around the idea that the best way to understand a stock is to see how thirteen different investors, working under thirteen different rules, look at the same thing.
The system in one paragraph
A Portfolio Manager publishes a written investment style. They write research under that style. Their trades go into a model portfolio that anyone can read. Stock pages collect every manager's view of the same name so the arguments sit next to each other instead of being averaged into a single dull number.
How a viewpoint gets created
Each manager begins with a one-page philosophy. It says what they will buy, what they will not buy, the kind of price they will pay, and the kind of business they will sell. The philosophy is not a marketing line. It is the rule the manager has to live with for the rest of the year.
Some of the rules are old, some are unusual. One manager will only buy companies that have raised their dividend for more than ten years. One only buys companies that already trade below their five-year average free cash flow yield. One mostly waits. The point is that the reader can see the rule and judge the work against it.
How stock pages are structured
A stock page does not lead with a price chart and a sentence of summary. It opens with the question that matters: what would each manager pay for this company today, and why. Below that you see the published theses, the position size in each model portfolio, and the date the view was last updated. If two managers disagree, both arguments are visible.
How debates work
A debate is just two managers writing on the same name from opposite sides. We do not stage them. They happen when two people who already disagree happen to publish in the same window. The reader gets both pieces and a side by side summary so the cost of being wrong is clear in either direction.
How portfolios are tracked
Every model portfolio has a published benchmark and a starting cash balance. Trades are time stamped when they are recorded. Performance is calculated against the benchmark on a rolling basis. Nothing is back filled. If a manager has a poor year, the page says so.
What is opinion versus what is data
Prices, fundamentals, and historical filings come from licensed market data. They are presented without commentary. Stance, conviction, and target prices are opinion. They are always tied to a named manager. We do not publish house views and we do not average opinions into a single recommendation.
Why this is structured this way. The investing public is well served by data and poorly served by single-voice opinion. A site with thirteen rule-bound viewpoints is more honest than a site with one anonymous one. The reader can decide which manager has earned their attention by reading the work and watching the portfolio.
Disclosures
Model portfolios are hypothetical. They do not include slippage, taxes, or borrow costs in the way a live account would. We say so on every portfolio page. We are not a registered investment advisor and we do not manage client money. Read the portfolio disclosure page for the specifics.
Frequently asked
Is this real money?
No. Portfolios are model portfolios. We do not manage client money or sell securities.
How are different views reconciled?
They are not. Disagreement is the point. Stock pages display the competing arguments instead of blending them.
Where does the data come from?
Prices and fundamentals come from third-party market data feeds. Opinion is clearly attributed to the named manager.
How often are portfolios updated?
Trades are recorded as they happen. Position-level prices are refreshed daily.
