He he - I'm top 16% as well. However, I am still not 100% invested, and I only invested 2/3 of my cash on the first day.

I am thinking that I need to start putting more eggs in fewer baskets and take on more and more risk as the contest continues.

finished only up .5% yesterday. I have all my stock in MO today. not a stock with a lot of upside. i was thinking the market was going to have a down day, but i didn't want to risk being all in cash.

so i might match the market today, which is in effect losing ground.

The contest is a short-term freeroll and favors extremely aggressive, even wild play with marginal holdings.

Anybody notice "Nancy Beaumont" has 10 entries which are places 14-24?

I made the top 2% already, and I'm gaining at about a 5,000,000% annual rate!

Anyone else having trouble checking their portfolio?

Seems like the CNBC site is having problems, and especially for the contest.

Yes I am having trouble getting onto the site as well. Its probably because of traffic.

Does anyone have the answer to today's video question? For some reason I can not play cnbc's videos.
