Here is the August month end ranking.  I finally got Excel working again. Sorry about missing last month end's ranking.  Not much improvement in the market.  Just lots of fluctuations, and it appears that international funds got hit a little harder. 

 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.

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
Our previous ranking for the prior period can be found in MF post # 2533960

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"
portfolio OK,  down -8.51%...

 FFNOX-9.69%
 VTSMX-10.20%
 S&P500-11.39%
 EAFE-17.31%

Here's a link to Galderm's interim results.  They are quite comparable to the current ranking.

Galderm, I'm impressed that you were able to whip that up!  It must have taken a fair amount of work (at one point in time, at least).
