    Default CNBC Million Dollar Challenge

    Since I was out of the football challenge pretty early, I was wondering if anyone else is participating in the CNBC Million Dollar Challenge. As of the close today, I'm in the top .06% at position number 363 with a total return of 43.50% (45.96% in equities and 21.38% in currencies). I believe there is over 600000 participates so I guess it's not too bad. The leader has a return of over 108% so I'm pretty sure I won't win the million.

    Nice job. Let's hope we don't take it in the shorts tomorrow.
    May the force be with us.

    Well for one thing the FRTIB didn't limit him to only 2 moves.

    Not bad for 600K entries. I should have gotten in but I probably would have embarrassed myself.
