Al,

Great job running your contests and congratulations to CD on his stellar performance. I cut the final results to excel just to see how poorly I did with my buy-and-hold (32/47, -49%). It looks like the more active traders did best particularly following the trends such as the rise in PM's. Staying in cash for Michel got him 17/47. As it was, there were almost twice as many losers compared to winners. Interestingly (to me only probably) but I was almost the median of the losers.

Did you keep a database of results indicating the number of trades made by each player? I'm just curious more than anything else on what the rankings look like from this perspective.

I think next year I am going to make some fundamental changes and instead of being a buy and hold bag-holder, I will cautiously trade. I will just have to put a little more time into watching things.

Happy New Year to all.

regards, john
