Well we have 6 months as an ongoing game during interesting financial times.

I left the portfolio function open so everyone can see everyone elses portfolio. It will be obvious if someone is following someone else and matters not as it is just a game. I set the open at $10,000 which is a pretty realistic amount for fun. Really matters not as if you convert ten grand into 11 grand or onehundred grand into onehundred ten grand it is the same. It's about percentages. A 10% return is just that.

During 2005 to 2007 a 30% return would be great. Right now for a six month span I would be happy to see a 10% return. Consider a 6 month CD bought today does well to return 2.9 to 3.0%.

Screw around with the settings and share your investment stratagy. However, maintain a cut throat attitude.

Long way to go to the finish line. Hey, I overpaid for Sprint Nextel and that is what is dragging me down. Not a real bright move for me. RAID is cooking right along.

Think of it this way... Six months is a long time.
