InfoStream, thanks for posting your picks. It'll be interesting to see how your port and my perform as compared to the Russell 2000 over the next few weeks. For future reference: 12/29/00 -- the final trading day of the year: The Russell 2000 closed at 483.5 my port closed with a value of $8,405. your port closed with a value of $18,726. Let's plan on computing gains/losses for all three portfolios, as compared to 12/29/00 Comparing our ports, I see that you have quite a few stocks below $1, whereas I had none. That will probably make your port more volatile than mine, which might be a good thing. In the last two years I bought even higher-priced stocks, and I outperformed the RUT by 6% and 11%.

Infostream, your port is now down 3%, and mine is now down 5%. That's a lot better than any of the indices. The RUT, for example, is down 20% YTD. I'm really surprised by this outcome. I would have guessed that low-priced stocks, which were in both our ports and yours especially, would have gotten killed in this bear market. I suppose they have gotten killed after February, but before that their gains in January were so big that they ended up almost flat, YTD.
