If we could only know what was coming up with the Market :(
However, after mostly getting out last summer, and only doing some occasional quick flipping since then, I do believe for several reasons and considering current values, that the time may be right to start getting back in.

For fun I’m also putting together this little Canadian “fantasy portfolio” to see what would happen. A narrow mix of banking and mining with a wildcard or two. Some of these picks may very well end up in my real account. I’m going to track this every few days or weeks and see how it does.


Stang’s Fantasy Portfolio (as of the openning prices on January 19, 2009)

$1000 in shares each of:

Royal Bank $33.11
Bank of Nova Scotia $30.34
Potash $91.00
Denison Mines $ 1.60
Teck Cominco $ 5.73
Uranium One $ 2.10
Breakwater Resources $ 0.14
Stornoway Diamonds $ 0.13

Openning value: $8,000.00


(I just simplified this, was over thinking it, LOL)

I'm glad you started this game:) . After two weeks of stock market stress you've made a grand total of 96 cents in your fantasy game----lol.


Talk about a sideways market or what?


Please continue posting this every week. It will be interesting to see how you do!

You are down 15%. If you were a mutual fund, you would shut the thing down and open a new fund with a fresh start. Have you ever noticed how few mutual funds survive 10 years?

Not just mutual funds but I seem to recall that the Vancouver Stock Exchange also reset their index. I think they set the index at 1,000 and it drifted below 1,000 like for a decade (kind of embarressing) so they reset the index back to a 1,000.

Yeah not too bad. Looks like the only one that's hurt so far is Dennison Mines.
