I made a tracking portfolio of your nephew's picks from last September. They're down 48.8% and his beloved RMBS is down a mind-boggling 79.2% Well, you just made my day! Just when I was feeling that I had done a lousy job with my portfolio, you post a portfolio advocated by Voltaire which is down almost three times mine!! Yes, I actually did it without the help of any angels - at least none that I was aware of at any rate.

>> I made a tracking portfolio of your nephew's picks from last September. They're down 48.8%... I don't ask him to pick my stocks for me. I didn't last year when he was King of the Hill, either. >> G&K is down 21.7% and W&W is down 18.2%. Read the thread header, Joshua. Neither of those portfolios is intended to offer stock picking suggestions, though both have outperformed the nasdaq comp. My comment that I'll accept opinions from experts who have been successful in the market this year. was an intended to imply that I don't know anyone on SI who qualifies as a critic under definitions #1 and #2. Perhaps I was too subtle. uf
