A Wharton PhD handed Claude agents a fresh $50,000 portfolio in March with one instruction: beat the S&P 500. Self-reported results: up 24.5% since March 3 vs 10.69% for the index, with $52M reportedly following the trades and every position public. A deep-dive on how the trading agents work was promised within 24 hours. Numbers are unverified self-reporting; the screenshot shows a Claude Code (Opus 4.6) session.
