Sage Nolos,

Thanks for all the work to put this together. 

Believe it or not, my picks for the contest are (if anything) less aggressive than my actual portfolio.  

I guess my philosophy is to mirror my own posture regarding the markets, versus just shoot for the moon to get some bragging rights.  It seems pointlessly egostistical to pick funds simply to win the contest.  What do I (or anyone else) gain from such an exercise?  The point of this, as I see it, is to understand what works best under what conditions. 

And yes, we are definitely stuck in the 70's.
