There's a new sherriff in town. His name is Warren E. Buffett.
He has 10 BRK.A shares and 1 BRK.B share.

Can you compete?
Compare yourself with him from time to time.
His fund won't be compliant of course.

I really don't like how you have to choose between having a long only or short fund.

 

[SSSnail]

Are there any ways you can change the default rules as commissioner? I feel that as long as we're in a fantasy league, rules be damned. If I want to pump 1mil into a fund and sell it 3 hours later, I should be able to and not have to have 65% of my assets in stocks at all time.

You can create multiple funds, one for long and one for short if you wish.

Real life portfolio managers have to follow the same rules.

*EDIT*
yoyoyohowsdajello and naustica are invited.

Man, I don't want to have to sign up somewhere else, but I definitely want to do it. I'm actually in a private competition on Investopedia with another AT member and I'm just getting used to that interface and it's fantastic.

But the spirit of competition will stir me soon enough I'm sure and I'll join within the week.

My fund was actually up +0.20% yesterday.
From the looks of it, I was the only one that gained anything.

Yesterday was pretty brutal for me, especially since I had a lot of gains the day before (up 1.8%). Whatever could go wrong for me, did. Well, we still have 357 days to go.

I noticed. I was looking for the person who was in the lead...I didn't find anyone.

We have longer than that. This game should never end or should at least go on for 5+ years.
There have been people running their same funds for more than 6+ years on that website.
I think 1 year is too short to determine who the best portfolio manager is.
