What Would You Do to Win A Million Dollars?

The contest was long over. Even though I didn't make it to the final, I was satisfied with my result.

Then, I read something about the alleged cheatings among some finalists a few days ago, but it didn't elaborate on the details until today.

During the contest, I was amazed by some contestants who were able to pick big winners consistently, while I labored myself trying to keep up with them. Now we know that they took the advantage of CNBC's flawed software design.

Anyway, I had fun, and it was a lot easier to trade with the funny money with no emotional burden...

My Day In The Sun! : )

My last go around didn’t fare well. I broke my rules in my final “Hail Mary” attempt to catch up with the competition, and it totally blew up (I think “collapse” is the better term) on me.

This time around, I stick with my plan and with some luck, I got my day in the sun. The competition ends in a week. Out of 1,450,045 contestants, I am happy with the result thus far...

Buy, sell, but no time to hold in the competition.

You are given $1,000,000 funny money to trade, and whoever with the most profit at the end of contest wins a Maserati.

The contest is only 2 days old, and the #1 player’s portfolio is already at $1,315,220! There is a lot to catch up.

I use the same approach in this contest as I would in my real life trading, and it sure looks conservative than those top players.

Because of the job that I do, which is highly regulated, I will not be able to display the names of the stocks, because I don’t want any trouble with my compliance office. Well today is a new day, and let’s try to make some money!
