Hello,

I am new on the site and was reviewing as much information as I could on the forum. How come you stopped updating the Virtual $5000 portfolio?

Thanks,
Dan

[Super Stock Picker]

Hello,

Due to time constraints, we had to postpone the update of the virtual portfolios for more than a month.

We expect to resume those updates soon.

[sbh]

Excellent, I am looking forward to seeing how the $5000 portfolio did when and after the stock market took a hit in August and September.

Thanks,
Dan

HI

Any chance of updating the virtual $ 5000 portfolio?

It would be interesting to see how the portfolio performed for the year 2007.

thanks

[Super Stock Picker]

Hello nash08,

Indeed, we do want to update those virtual portfolios, but we are going through a huge time crunch, so we have to delay this to a later time unfortunately.
