Default Re: Active Stock Picking vs. Indexing Challenge

sniper - yes he and cramer are doing great, but my original challenge had me getting 6 to 5 and I am down less than 2 units by my count overall....Not sure what your point is.

I am trying at this point to clarify the challenge!

Are you saying that rather than the challenge being port against port... you are saying that each individual pick is a seperate bet???

Sniper try reading the original post. Since you still seem confused on this, let me:

[ QUOTE ]
Choose from 1 to 500 stocks in any asset class (doesn't matter - emerging markets, reits, small cap, large cap, mid cap, microcap) other than international small cap (since there is no index).

I will pick an index mutual fund or etf that corresponds to the asset class of those equities (i.e. if you want to pick small caps i would pick IJR, midcaps MDY, micro I would choose IWC, etc)

I will bet I am ahead after any time frame longer than 6 months.

Since I am clearly the underdog here, you must lay me 6 to 5.
