My shares in FNMA fell 1 cent but when you have 285, 714 of them, that means I lost $2857.14. It's going to be a long year. :neutral:

Well the OP was taking the 100K and investing it.
Then seeing who was ahead in 6 months. You just took your time using it:) DaveNay could you add CB to the spread sheet?. :unsure:
 
I want an * next to Cowboy's name if he wins. Joining in late has to come with some caveats and the market is waaaayyy different now.

Fair enough. If CB wins, which I highly doubt. He will win with a * than means he came in late.
The rest that were in from the beginning really win.

WHAT DO YOU WIN?

Nothing but the acknowledgment that if given the opportunity to invest 100K = perhaps as a for hire consultant, you knew what you were doing. And of course: Bragging rights!!!

I TOLD YOU SO!!!:yum::yum::yum::yum:

Watch Frank ace this thing. It's too early to tell. And Ironman has been skating along on a frozen waterfall.:yum::yum::yum:
 
I think I am down about a zillion dollars but my pick pays a great monthly dividend so I may be up ! I need a drink to figure this one out.:sad:

Just go to the spreadsheet Al. (I don't think dividends count for this game....at least tsaw didn't mention them.)
 
Oh That is just great ! I go for the monthly dividends to get by in my old age and you young bastards shoot me in the foot .:w00t2:

I never thought of dividends. My thoughts were that if you picked a real winner.. that would be so little - why count it? LOL

Mmmmmmm.....not true. BigAl's investment is currently paying around 5% annually in dividends, so that is not insignificant.
 
Mine is up $247 for the day. That means at least 5 of us bought some Charmin...
 
I just saw this today
although it was from 2008 it still sounds on the mark

If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago, you would have $49 left…

——————————————————————————————————————–
With Fannie Mae, you would have $2.50 left of the original $1,000.

——————————————————————————————————————–
With AIG, you would have less than $15 left.

——————————————————————————————————————–
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drunk all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214 cash.
