FYI - I created an updown portfolio back in April 08. Some Fool (Lordz?) complained that CAPS did not show the allocation of money and that many CAPS Allstars suck with real money, which is an important part of investing.
updown.com and CAPS both have flaws. In updown, I keep earning more money in my account, as it performs well. I started with a $1,000,000 now I have $4,335,606 to manage, not sure why.
CAPS is kind of silly, because they do not punish or support Fools for staying in cash.
Example: If you give a company a green thumb and it falls 20%, but the market is down 40%, you are given +20 points, but you would be far better off in Cash, then loosing 20%.
So you can be an "Outperforming the market, but broke Allstar".
Many "ALLSTARS" with Green thumbs, would be signifantly down in the market.
I am UpDown ranking: #40 of 101823 (-19) Return Since Start:152.56%

I have earned about $3.00 from my updown performance.
Also my Fool portfolio is primarily a watch list of companies. My real portfolio usually contains only 2-5 positions.
updown does not let you see others stocks, but they created an embed link called:
