Part 2 - The Stocks

As you can see in the data below,
our Front Office Gorilla Game still has
a commanding lead over the other indexes,
though the lead has shrunk significantly.
This time last month we were outperforming
the S&P 500 three-to-one since inception.

History Quarter Month
Gorilla Game 26.40% 15.03% -8.68%
S&P 500 15.52% 4.34% 3.59%
Russell 2000 -14.92% -6.65% 0.42%

That data below doesn't show the game's nearly
10% daily gains and losses in the past week. It's
been a very volatile week, to say the least. In
fact, the only thing that has been consistent about
the game since inception is that it has been
extraordinarily volatile.

We began playing the game on 5/25/98 with $10,000
(not real money). Commissions are based on $8
per trade. The game began with equal dollar amounts
of each stock. The detailed data is shown below:

% of
Symbol Portfolio In at Now Change
CLFY 34.8% $13.25 $23.38 76.45%
RMDY 15.9% $17.44 $14.13 -19.01%
SEBL 40.8% $23.00 $47.75 107.61%
VNTV 8.3% $27.63 $11.69 -57.69%

The final numbers:

Stocks $12,610.07
Cash $30.27
Total $12,640.34

Disclosure: I own a long position in
Siebel Systems and will consider owning
positions in other stocks in the portfolio.
