Hi Nirmal, First, to answer your previous question, the 11:00am time was EST and it was a discretionary one time instruction. I prefer to specify price rather than time, but I thought we might catch a dip at that time. There was no fund last year, so no corresponding fund performance and in fact, this one is simply a paper trading portfolio. As far as our individual performance, I am sure that it varies between each of us as we all have different investment/trading profiles. Tom

Nirmal, I concur with Tom on his points. I think we all had pretty good years last year, but it's a bull market and the nasd was up 80%. I wonder if there is any thread in SI that discusses how to return stellar results, beating out all the technology mutual fund managers. I am not sure of this, but just remember that performance and momentum driven funds can have huge fluctuations from year to year, making 100% and then having outright losses the next year. Garrett Von Waggoner is a noted tech manager who had great returns in 1995 and 1996 and then was down for a year or so in 97 or 1998 and then had a very strong rebound in 1999. food for thought. John
