>>>$100,000 following my explore portfolio is now worth $104,968 Huh?! Couldn't I do better in a simple savings account paying a very small percentage interest?

OK Kirk, If you want to bury your lousy results while you brag about including ALL trades in your record....go right ahead. But you can't deny your own published record for the past four years where you LOST money in two of the years even the OVERALL MARKET WAS UP IN ALL FOUR YEARS! Kirk's Core 2004 (4.2%) 2005 13.2% 2006 12.6% 2007 (10.3%) And while you go to great lengths about how great you are doing this year...the fact remains that you are WAY underwater and will end this year in the red again. Three losing years out of the past five years!
