I know that the panda challenge died a while ago, but since Goldman is about to report, which they are expected to beat estimates, and how I still hold GS in the game, I thought I would see how everyone is doing.

Too bad panda never was able to join due to his technical difficulties. He might be up if he invested in the Asian markets. But, we will never know. Granted, I haven’t checked this thing for months, but I will still take my 26% annual return for a lazy portfolio over most mutual funds any day.

Just looked and saw there are new and active folks in the Panda Challenge.  Cool.
If anyone else wants to participate, Graphrix or maybe Panda knows how to access.  It takes very little time; maybe three minutes per week.

Hey Graphix… are you still playing???  I’m in and my id is IrvinePanda. Anyone who wants to play send me a PM! This new guy : GreatExpections is kicking some serious Panda A$$. He beat out Graphix’s #2 in literally 2 weeks of playing.

I haven’t been playing at all for months. Nice to see my portfolio at least stayed the same for not caring. I might jump in next week. I have some serious catching up to do with GE killing it. BV… is that you? As long as I stay green I’m happy. We’ll see if I have the time to do this.
