Just a quick note that the CNBC million dollar investing challange has begun once again. This time around the prize is actually a million dollars.

In CNBC.com’s Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge, you play the market starting with $1,000,000 CNBC Bucks. Every day you’ll be ranked based on the size of your portfolio, and each week we’ll award a winner $10,000 for earning the largest weekly percentage gain. At the end of ten weeks, the weekly winners, plus the ten highest ranked players – will qualify for THE FINALS.

On May 14th, those twenty street savvy investors start all over with $1,000,000 CNBC Bucks in a brand-new
portfolio. They’ll compete to see who can build the biggest portfolio in just two weeks – it’s a winner-take-all challenge for $1,000,000 (that’s real money!)

So whether you’re in from the beginning or late to the game, have a strong long-term strategy or one solid week, you can make it to the finals for the chance to win $1,000,000!

During the their last game, the Squawk Box Fantasy Portfolio I didn’t do so great. I mostly stayed at the same level during the whole game. I was ahead a little at the end, but just not enough to win.
