The Purge ETF / Mutual fund - Vanraw - 03-09-2011
Way back when we started talking about stocks on this forum, after the 2008 crash, I created a google porfolio of every stock people mentioned and bought a fake $1000 of stock in each company. The date was November 10th 2008. I forgot about it. Just for the hell of it I just looked at the portfolio and it is up 965%
Initial investment was $19,073.65 and now its worth $204,292.18.
So while the market went very high, we all beat the hell out of everyone.
The biggest gainer, was Comstock Mining, Inc. LODE. I dont recall who mentioned this stock at .019 a share, but I hope they bought it in real life. Cause they did really well.

I'm gonna bet that was Breand.
I really have to do an update on our stock picking game sometime.

I'll gladly take part in a stock picking game if a new one starts.

wasnt me, I bought Newmont Mining instead which is 17.2% up only (tho they have distributed a some nice dividends). Is PIR in there? I've been toting that all the time, that was a huge payoff.
I still track my Purge portfolio, it's up almost exactly 100% big winners are Cablevision at 271% and PGH at 177%

Breanden I think this was befor you started on PIR. This was a note where everyone was touting some stocks.l It was one thread. Novemeber 08 is when I made the portfolio. All I did was take every stock mentioned and stuck it in there. I never added or touched it after that.
I couldnt find the thread, but didnt look really hard. Here is a pic of the portfolio.

Well at least there's no confusion about who picked Apple.
The portfolio actually wouldn't be up that much without LODE.
Re: The Purge ETF / Mutual fund - Fretty - 03-11-2011
Geez, I wish that was my portfolio, heh.
Re: The Purge ETF / Mutual fund - Vanraw - 03-11-2011
Yea LODE is crazy. A penny stock 1k investment goes to 177k in 2 years.
Who would have thunk.
