CNBC Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge - Wednesday, Week 10
[Scroll to the bottom for answers to today's Bonus Bucks trivia questions.]
Today, following a very strong start for our ultrabear group, our participating portfolios are split into the two leveraged financial/real estate ETF baskets and one energy-heavy portfolio.
- URE, UWM, UYG, RFL (Financial/Real Estate Ultrabull)
- SRS, TWM, SKF, RFN (Financial/Real Estate Ultrabear)
- MMR, USO, KMP, DXO (Energy)
Check back this afternoon for today's penultimate reallocation.
And those of you within spitting distance of the top 10 (or the weekly prize), keep us in the loop. Bradford Pine began Week 10 at #9 overall, so if he can hang on, we'll have at least one reader going to the finals.
Update: Including yesterday's performance, Brad has moved up to #8 overall and reader Judith Boucher has jumped to #11.
Update: For today's reallocation, let's go with the two leveraged ETF baskets, plus for selected bank stocks that will report earnings tomorrow before the open. Choose according to the last digit of your ZIP code.
- 0-2: URE, UWM, UYG, RFL (Financial/Real Estate Ultrabull)
- 3-5: SRS, TWM, SKF, RFN (Financial/Real Estate Ultrabear)
- 6-9: FITB, KEY, MTB, BBT (Banks reporting earnings)
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.
