💰 I want to invest → Crest splits it equally into ${{ perName }} in each of the {{ nPicks }} stocks.

🗓️

The ranking refreshes daily, but you only act on the rebalance day (last trading day of the month). On that day: buy the new names, keep the holds, sell what dropped out — then do nothing until next month. Equal weight, about ${{ perName }} per name.
