The 2011 $5,000 Dream portfolio investment challenge.

Since this is $5,000 of unplanned money, I'd skip what I'm currently working on (7070) a go for as nice a chain cent as I could get. I've always wanted one, but know there's not much chance of ever getting one. Might be able to get one in VG if I'm really diligent in shopping.

I know we can all do basic multiplication but my time is worthless and I figured I'd hash things out so we can see the standings a bit clearer.

 

Cube, nice job on that chart. Interesting to see how it's going..

 

I added the Bid only 3 can sell for more then $5,000 if i used the 1961 prize as the entry I'd be in 1st place.

:cheers:

Thanks for the contest, holz!

PM will be on the way shortly.

 

congrats gb, and thanks for the contest, holz

 

Sorry I missed out on this contest. Looking at the numbers, over half of the people would have lost money over the year.. I suppose that underscores the "better collect what you enjoy because it is difficult to make money in this business" lesson I read about on a number of posts, eh?

-snewman

 

Proof set arrived today. Thanks again, holz!

 

I started a 2nd 2012 contest same rules (but only chose one coin instead of 3) everybody picked one and it will be easier for me to keep track.
Thanks for playing last year.
