What is Compoundle?
Compoundle is a daily investment decision game using real historical company data. Each puzzle presents an unnamed company frozen at a specific past month, showing its actual financials at that time: share price, market cap, shares outstanding, industry classification, and key ratios such as price-to-book, five-year revenue growth, and equity-to-assets. You decide whether to invest, short, or pass. The company's real subsequent market performance then settles your call, adjusting your running balance and global rank.
How to play Compoundle
- Check the case header for the month and year, then review the company’s financial metrics from that date.
- If needed, examine advanced metrics, stock-price history, and five years of financial reports.
- Enter your stake. The interface shows how many shares you can buy at the displayed price.
- Choose INVEST, SHORT, or PASS.
- Reveal the outcome to see how the stock performed and how it changed your balance and rank.
Compoundle removes company names and bases decisions on balance sheets and dates, putting players in the analyst’s position. Internet speculation has no role. The short option turns each case into two questions. PASS teaches the expensive lesson that walking away is a legitimate trade. Scoring follows money, so position sizing matters. The five years of reports behind each case reward players who read beyond the surface metrics.
Reading the feedback
The game uses money as its score. After you reveal, the interface shows the stock's real movement and updates your balance accordingly. The same result moves you up or down the global ranking. Returning the next day awards a check-in top-up that grows with your streak.
Tips for better decisions
Use PASS deliberately. When the ratios tell you nothing, refusing the trade is a real answer rather than a forfeit.
The date is half the puzzle. You know the exact month, so ask whether the company looks cheap and what the wider market was about to do to everything around it.
One snapshot ratio can mislead; a five-year trend rarely does. Most players skip the preceding years' reports, yet those reports usually decide the case.
Watch your stake as well as your call. Because the score is a balance rather than a hit rate, being right on a small position and wrong on a large one erases a good week.
