Real dollars. Real fills. In public.

Who's behind this

I'm Rolland Diers, a US Navy IT professional building Diers Capital as a public experiment: an AI portfolio manager proposes buys, a risk check runs, and I approve or decline every buy before any order is placed. Every trade, every mistake gets published. If the AIs make money, you'll see it. If they lose, you'll see that too. Results are reported as the account's own return, never against an index. Follow along with real capital in a live account. Rolland is not a licensed financial advisor.

What this is

An AI portfolio manager proposes buys for Rolland's real Agentic account (a taxable brokerage account); a risk check runs, and Rolland approves or declines every buy before any order is placed. An approval is a committee decision, not an order. An order is placed only if separate risk and execution checks also pass and the Founder approves the buy. The committee's published decision record is on /decisions.

Why real dollars

Per the non-negotiable brand rule, "Real dollars, not backtests." Backtests optimize for the past. Real dollars force you to be honest about the future. Every backtested "strategy" is one that already worked; this experiment can fail in public — that's the whole point.

Who this is for

People 50+ approaching retirement who want to understand what an AI-driven account actually looks like before they'd ever put their own money near it. Or curious people 30-40 who want to watch a real account get built in real time. Not day traders, options gamblers, or people looking for hot picks.

What this is NOT

Not investment advice. Not a signal service. Not a robo-advisor. Not a hedge fund. Not managed money. It's one person's account, published for education.
