CNBC Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge - Tuesday, Week 10
[Scroll to the bottom for answers to today's Bonus Bucks trivia questions.]
Welcome to Week 10, home of the MLB All-Star Game prize package and your last chance to secure a weekly bid (or one of the 10 overall bids) to the finals.
Check back this afternoon for today's reallocations.
Update: Tomorrow, we've got a number of interesting companies reporting earnings, including notable airlines, energy companies, and financials.
In addition to our standard ultrabull and ultrabear baskets, we're adding a portfolio of energy names (3 earnings reporters, plus the 2x leveraged crude ETF). They don't all report before the open, but the prevailing sentiment should have sunk in by the closing bell. Participating portfolios should step into these allocations, according to the last digit of their phone numbers:
- 0-2: URE, UWM, UYG, RFL (Financial/Real Estate Ultrabull)
- 3-5: SRS, TWM, SKF, RFN (Financial/Real Estate Ultrabear)
- 6-9: MMR, USO, KMP, DXO (Energy)
Update: Thanks to John in the comments, who notes that NVE is not eligible (odd, because it seems like it should qualify). I've removed it from the energy basket and replaced it with the ETF USO.
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.
