My partner is 5th in Falkin IV and excluding my terrible experience with options I would be in a similar position. We are approving each others trades and or trading strategies. Our point of the competition was to do exactly as you are saying. To see if we can improve our results. we are less interested in individual results as we are in the aggregate score. He is a conservative investor and I am a bigger risk taker but still more conservative than most. We hope to get at least 30% per year returns with a relatively low amount of risk. I am using small amounts of options to hedge our positions 1% of port. I am using another 1% to speculate in options. Jeff is using diversity to hedge on his side of the port and is focussed on blue chips. We both will use about 5% each for Growth stocks. Pretty boring but the point of our experiment is to ultimately put our trading into real dollars in the market.
If you start a game we may be interested in joining it.
