Here is the June month end ranking.  This ranking follows another bad week - possibly another low for the year.  Energy & Gold heavy portfolios got a boost, while those holding India are getting killed.  Each contestant picked 5 funds (only funds, no stocks), purchased in equal amounts (ea 10K) on 12/31.  Our ranks are based on M*'s system of YTD returns, using an Excel spreadsheet.

I'm not going to do the mid year fund exchange this year.  It's just too much hassle, and I don't have the time.  As well as an apparent lack of interest due to the bear mkt and board changes, etc. etc.  If you are really dissappointed, then list your (single) exchange in this conversation, and if it looks like it would have propelled you into the lead at the year end, I will calculate the returns then.

Our list of initial portfolio picks are detailed in MF post # 2471666
Or you can view your picks in our enrollment post, MF post # 2462785

As noted in previous rankings, doublecheck your individual portfolios
returns. If something doesn't jive, let us know.

To help us weigh how well our portfolios are doing, the following
benchmarks are those we feel are most pertinent, with the "consensus"
