Managing a virtual Million Dollar Portfolio

I will use this blog to track my 10-week performance of a virtual million dollar portfolio.
This will help me remember and explain why I made certain trades when I did, and analyze my results at a later date.

During the last 10-week cycle that I analyzed my virtual portfolio performance (offline), this was my final result:

9/9/2005 - $1,000,000.00
11/18/2005 - $1,082,951.37

Over the previous 10-week period of time,
I had returned an approximate 8.3% return on my virtual investment.
If I had continued with this particular porfolio, at that rate of return,
I would have had a gain of about 43.13% by year's end.
In other words, I would have made $431,300.00,
for a total ending virtual portfolio value of $1,431,300.00.
