How pricing works: Each ticker has a base annual growth rate and a volatility factor. Prices compound monthly with randomized variation — so your VOO might return 8% one year and 14% the next, just like real markets. Dividends are paid quarterly and can be reinvested automatically.

Bonds & Fixed Income

Diversify with bonds that pay real interest

A strong portfolio isn't just stocks. Learn to balance risk and return with government and corporate bonds at six different risk/reward levels.

US Treasury 2-Year

4.8%
Very Low risk2 years

Short-term government bonds with the highest safety. Lower returns but your principal is virtually guaranteed.

US Treasury 10-Year

4.2%
Very Low risk10 years

The benchmark bond rate that influences mortgage rates across the economy. Lock in steady income for a decade.

Municipal Bond

3.5%
Low risk5–10 years

Tax-advantaged bonds issued by state and local governments. Lower stated rate but tax benefits make them competitive.

Corporate AAA

5.1%
Low risk5–15 years

Bonds from the most creditworthy corporations. Slightly higher returns than treasuries with minimal additional risk.

Corporate BBB

6.4%
Moderate risk5–10 years

Investment-grade corporate bonds with moderate credit risk. The sweet spot for many income-focused investors.

High-Yield

8.2%
High risk3–7 years

Below investment-grade bonds with the highest returns — and the highest risk of default. Use sparingly in a diversified portfolio.

Investment Strategies

Practice the strategies pros actually use

Reading about investing strategies is one thing. Watching them play out over 20 simulated years — with real volatility and compounding — is another entirely.

Dollar-Cost Averaging

Invest a fixed amount every month regardless of price. Over time, you buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when they're high, smoothing out volatility.

  • Removes emotion from investing decisions
  • Works in both bull and bear markets
  • Builds discipline and consistency
  • Reduces impact of market timing mistakes

Lump Sum Investing

Invest a large amount all at once. Historically outperforms DCA about two-thirds of the time because markets tend to go up — but the drawdowns can be painful.

  • Maximizes time in the market
  • Higher expected returns historically
  • Best when you have a windfall
  • Requires strong emotional discipline

Diversification

Spread your investments across index funds, individual stocks, and bonds. Don't put all your eggs in one basket — even if that basket is NVDA.

  • Reduces risk from any single position
  • Balances growth with stability
  • Bonds cushion stock market crashes
  • Different assets perform in different cycles

Portfolio Rebalancing

As some investments outperform others, your allocation drifts. Rebalancing sells winners and buys laggards to maintain your target risk profile.

  • Maintains your target risk level
  • Systematically buys low, sells high
  • Prevents overexposure to one asset
  • Improves long-term risk-adjusted returns
