My Story of "Virtual Investing"!

On September 20, 2010 I created a "Virtual Portfolio" with assets of $1 Billion.  I chose this amount to be the level of minimum to earn a profit of $1 Million in any given day.  Over the next two years, I mostly invested in Energy stocks, Gold, and other Commodities through ETF's.  I had a small amount of Stocks, around ten or so.  At the end of two years, September 20, 2012 I had made a "profit" of  $676 Million...not a bad return during recession.  I was very conservative and kept 25% to 50% in cash reserves .

Starting in September 20, 2012 I started a new virtual portfolio, "the Apocalypse Fund" with assets of $10 Billion.  I changed my entire strategy... a wide range of 30-40 stocks, ETF's, and Mutual Funds.  since last September I am up $220.4 Million or 2.4%....alas I still have 45% cash reserves and realize I need to whittle that down to about 15%.

In real life I have a small portfolio...less than $5,000...that since March 15, 2012 is up about 12%.

My goal for my investments is to beat the DOW everyday, and double my money every five years, rain or shine.
