    Isn't that Desparado allocation essentially the same as one of the heralded L funds. Not for me guys, I'd rather spank the monkey. I just hope I can do even better next year - being a buy and hold is not easy, especially when you don't play with copper.

    I think we have found our "test monkey".

    Cool Re: Weekly Tally - Helpful or Hurtful?

    Positive side of Weekly Tally - it puts my progress right there in front of me, and forces me to stay on top of it.

    Down side of Tally - it brings out the competive beast in some members, kill or be killed, so they do things like post their move at 12 noon so no one can keep up with them.

    Positive side wins.

    I'm sure we all realize that competition is GOOD in many ways. It encourages Members to learn more, take an active part in their investments and really has more to the upside than the downside. Think about it, what drives the best FOOTBALL TEAM, Money and competition! They learn from their mistakes and the mistakes of others, it's a process.
