Note: The way each virtual portfolio works is that I have what I call a rotating $3000 starting virtual portfolio that is broken into three smaller $1000 accounts. This way I can account for cash settlement time but still play the market on every day. Each account I charge $4 for every buy and sell to account for costs of transactions. The Buy Pick Virtual Portfolio began on March 9, 2009.
