Yep, That's Right! I Am Ahead of Chris Moneymaker & Christopher Gardner.

Always liking a challenge I ventured to try test my trading skills in CNBC's Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge.

After eight weeks of trading I am currently ranked in the top 2% of about one million stock trading fanatics like me.  In fact, CNBC brought in a bunch of celebrity traders.  As I was checking in on my portfolio tonight (see www.brettgrendahl.com/CNBCMay1.pdf) I see that I am beating out ALL of the celebrity traders handily.  This includes Christopher Gardner (The Pursuit of Happyness) and Chris Moneymaker (World Series of Poker).  See how the Celeb's are doing at http://contests.cnbc.com/milliondollar/celebrity.do.

That put on big smile on my face.  :)

How did I do this?

Well, I will be covering this in more depth in my living textbook, Tidalwave Trader, sometime in June.  Stop on by during your browsing today and sign up for a 60 day trial on me (www.TidalwaveTrader.com).

With two weeks left to go it's going to be hard to get into the top 10 but I am surely going to give it my best effort!
