      Yep. Investing has already been solved, the Dark God Capital is a sure bet, which is why broad, market cap weighted funds trump betting on individual acolytes and priests of said Dark God in the long run.

      Was glancing through to see examples but lost patience.

      A “You hit your monthly savings/investment goal” achievement - eh, fine.

      A “Make 100 trades this month” achievement - less fine.
