Subscribe to Aridni Free Million Dollar Challenge

Just a reminder to you that there is an investing challenge that starts up today. You start out with 1,000,000 cheerio dollars* and have the entire quarter to crank that up as high as possible.

It is being run by CNBC, and there is a prize of a 2006 Maserati GranSport that has a sale price of $100,000 to the person with the best portfolio at the end of the contest.

Even though I’m not quite so likely to win the prize, it’s a good exercise in investing and will help to sharpen my skills. (hopefully that is)
