CNBC Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge - Thursday, Week 9
[Scroll to the bottom for answers to today's Bonus Bucks trivia questions.]
Check back later this afternoon for today's reallocations.
Update: Nice day for us to be evenly split between those two leverage financial ETF baskets. Well, nice day for half of us, anyway, but that's all we ever ask for.
It's been a little while since we had a double digit up day (what with the market's stubborn lack of volatility lately), but this certainly seems to be a nice one.
For tomorrow, let's keep with this same pair but reshuffle the allocation, this time according to the last digit of your age:
- Odd: URE, UWM, UYG, RFL (Financial/Real Estate Ultrabull)
- Even: SRS, TWM, SKF, RFN (Financial/Real Estate Ultrabear)
Consider all of the above to be for entertainment purposes and not meant to be used as real-world investment recommendations. The goals and strategies of the Portfolio Challenge are not to be confused with those of sensible investing.
