$1,000 portfailio challenge

Many of you are familiar with the traditional portfolio challenges where people invest an imaginary sum of money and compete against others to see who can grow their portfolio by the largest amount. We are putting an unconventional spin on a traditional contest... the point of the B or BS portfolio challenge is to see who can LOSE he most money.... the winner gets $1,000

Here's how it works....

1. Invest $1,000 in up to 5 securities listed on the OTCBB
2. You do not have to invest all 5 and you do not have to pick them all at once, but you cannot "trade"
3. Enter your selections here, using DISQUS, TWITTER, OR FB
4. The person with the portfolio value closest to zero will be PAYPALED $1,000 from paymens@justtradewith.us
5. Contest ends September 1st... all purchases must be made by August 1st

INDEX for OTC stocks

We are not sure why there isn't an "index" for OTC stocks, other than the facts that no one really cares and accurate data is tough to find.

UPDATE: There are no stocks that are really "representative" of the 3400~ issues. So the INDEX is going to be an aggregate of all issues, and their aggregate % change for the year, adjusted for reverse splits etc. If you have any suggestions for improving this "index" please comment. Once we have the data for a year, we will add the % aggregate change in the OTCBB for the previous years (and of course we will keep it current going forward).
