OK I will admitt it now, I did the Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge last year and Im going to do it again this time.  I think I did pretty good last time so I want to see if I can do any better since I have a better understanding of the market.  At least better then the last time I tried the challenge. 

I will also note that I did not do what alot of people do and set up multiple accounts and buy a million dollars worth of one stock.    I went through and found a bunch of stocks that I thought would be going up and bought a few thousand dollars worth of each one.  I did pretty good and infact I was shocked that I did as well as I did.  So Im going try again but this time I’ll come up with a couple of strategies and we can follow along here on the Treestand Investor blog.  I hope we can have some fun and track the progress of the challenge as it goes. 

In case you dont know about the Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge you need to check out CNBC.com now cause the game starts Monday I think Nov 17.
