Thanks Al and long may it continue. I wish I could do it in real life. I was going to put the 11 players on a spreadsheet this weekend, if I had time, but it seems that you have already done it. Thanks again.
I have a stock program that automatically updates in real time .
It was easy . I just built a folder and named it after each player .
If any contestants needs a constant update ,let me know and I'll punch in your name and give you a profit or loss update .
Eastexfrank continues to climb into new area . He just busted through the $600 dollar profit mark . Way to go !
Yea, but there's always tomorrow.
Well Tomorrow showed up and EasTexFrank got hosed
New leader is B Sturka with about a $385 profit . Buying Gold saved his butt today . Smart move Bob !!!
Sushi said it, and Bob S . is proving it . When the enconomy is tanking , Gold is a good investment . The hard part is knowing when to sell .
Thats right Sushi , you actually got it right .
Every day the stock market has been falling the gold prices have been going up .
Bob S . now leads the pack with his Gold pick .

Hey, I don't have gold shares but I have a gold mining company. How come I'm going in the tank? Need to check today and see what's up. Just did? Darned banks, should burn them all to the ground ... after I get what little I have left out of course. Not to worry, I'm relying on Obama to save my bank pick.
I reckon I'm about $166 ahead which is nice since I'm treating my wife on Valentine's. That should take care of the $166 ... and then some.

I just checked my real time program . Your at $211.50 profit so your still doin pretty well
. A whole lot better than me, as I have a loss but I'm a whole lot better than a few others in the contest

This is such a loving place, I feel all warm and fuzzy now
Aw hell. I'll play. My contribution is simply: Not Yet.
I think we will see a continual slide while prices for everything find their 'natural' level. Not just stocks, but houses, land, portfolios of bundled loans, patents, salaries, everything. I predict the Dow will break below 7,000 and that still isn't the bottom - maybe 5,000? Maybe lower.
We are going through a readjustment. Things aren't worth as much as we thought. It will settle out, but like a plane cruising at a lower altitude. (I don't foresee the mass hysteria and riots etc that some suggest, just a lot of disappointment.) We may not see a 14,000 Dow for another decade. And that might also, again, be a symbol of a mass illusion.
Our rank among nations will take a small hit, as China and India advance slightly toward parity, but this is far from the end of America as we know it. Everybody worldwide has taken the same hit. I think Eastern Europe in particular is in far more critical shape than we are. Since their debts are to Western Europe, the impact will be broad.
Now in terms of investment strategy: It is still impossible to make fine distinctions among individual companies. Every day brings a new surprise. Individual stocks are an unusually high risk at the moment.
My opinion is that the big multinationals as a group have the best resources and talent to weather anything that comes along, and then interpret and prosper from new circumstances. So looking ahead a decade or so, I think an S&P 500 index fund is the safest way to share in the world's return to prosperity. I think it's better to rise with the tide, rather than gamble on the unforseeable.
But it's not time yet.
Cali, give me a little hope here, I'm bleeding to death. I was hoping for a banking rebound with the Feds throwing money around as if there was no tomorrow but it seems .... not yet.
My personal portfolio isn't much better. Maybe I should get everything in quarters and spend the next ten years counting them. Maybe then I'll be ready to go back into the market.
