Dashboard Status View the current dashboards at www.bivio.com/challengeclub. We will continue our discussion of maintaining core and perimeter dashboards per the asset allocation approach spelled out by George Nicholson in the 1984-89 Investors Manual. 3. Challenge Stock: Colgate-Palmolive (CL) has the lowest PAR (7.8%) for Core holdings. (The 5-year yield is 2.31%) PetMed Express (PETS) has the lowest PAR (8.6%) in the Perimeter portfolio. (MIPAR is 10.3%) Any concerns or alerts that need to be discussed regarding current holdings? 4. Selling Motions? 1. Motion: Sell our position in PetMed Express (PETS). Second? 5. Purchasing Motions? There have been no motions since the last meeting. 6. General Discussion As of January 1, 2010 we converted to a traditional club structure with club accounting provided at bivio.com We'll also create individual accounts and fresh cash infusions will be a function of meeting attendance. 7. Challenge Club Select The Challenge Club Select (2009) portfolio finished Groundhog III (2009) at $1622 -- with $1000 invested in the total stock market (VTI) at $1381. Huzzah! Our contest entry finished second among the group entries, trailing only the Two Rivers Club of San Diego, California. (High fives suggested) 68.4% of all participants outperformed the benchmark since 2/2/2009 ... and Challenge Club Select ended the campaign ranked #17 out of approximately 65 contestants. We'll be "stocking" Challenge Club Select (2010) as we seek the Groundhog IV group championship. Any chance (or interest) in getting Mark to supply some club history so a transparent computation of performance can be available? I'd be glad to help with the data entry. -Jim Thomas I'll let Mark answer that for historical data. We will be using the Performance Benchmark report to look at performance going forward.
