RE:I made the decision to use the SI portfolio's calculation. Well, that is the easiest way to do it, I guess, but it gives unequal weight to the stocks purchased. If you have another contest, would you consider an equal amount of money invested per stock versus an equal amount of shares so as to weight the individual stocks equally?

I think we should continue the contest as 100 shares of each, and use the % at the bottom of the SI portfolio's. It makes this game unique and forces people to think outside of their boxes. Dr.Z

FYI, it is possible to use the SI portfolio tracker and still give an even weighting to all stocks, by making each purchase the same dollar amount (like I do in real life, more or less). However, if I were in your shoes, I'd hesitate to set that up because of how many errors I've been hearing about with the simple 100 shares per stock rule. Still, you could hold people to doing it right or exclude them, and examples would certainly pave the way for most.
