Selling in the End When the game was coming to an end, we
decided that we made enough money to sell all of our stock positions. We flattened our stock portfolio on rallies to accommodate our 2% brokerage commission. By liquidating our positions, we ensured our position in the standings with a big enough gap over
second place to win the game!
