time to announce the winner of our cnbc million-dollar portfolio challenge. joining us now, we've got gary lewis and scott cole. gary's here. scott's here. they have both won something big. one is going to take home a million bucks. that is the grand prize. one gets this brand new maserati convertible. let's get right to it. the winner of the maserati is, scott cole. which means the winner of the million bucks is illinois's own, gary lewis. congratulations. thank you. thank you. thank you. scott is from redwood city, california. it's a hot car. i got to drive it earlier. believe me. it's already used. it's a used car now. no it's not. he gets to select his own in california by the way. congratulations for that. quickly, gary, i know you can't shake my hand. i appreciate it. quick on your strategy. all right. hundreds of thousands of portfolios out there. you guys came in first and second. truly incredible. what was your strategy? well, we want to capitalize as much as we could on market volatility. so i as well as scott i believe here chose a basket of etfs that would allow us to go either short or long in the market. apparently a lot of good luck from the good lord. the market swinging my way when i was long or short enabled me to do this. well, i know you used leveraged etfs as well. you know our boy herb greenberg hates leveraged etfs. what message do you have for herb since he's not here? i agree with herb totally. i wouldn't do that for my own portfolio. for the game you have to find the most extreme risk you can. that's not something i would recommend. throw this over to -- are you going to be all right? yeah. it's like 6 degrees out here. is your wife here? is that correct? bring. she's here somewhere. congratulations, madame. it's going to be really hard to take this to a bank. i'm not sure they'll take this one. we also want to say thank you to all of the contest participants as well as the sponsors, fcxm and also the very generous folks from maserati. thank you to all of them. congratulations once again. thank you.

Terrible.
I think the winners are supposed to be announced today
My account with AMR in it is up a lot -- on paper lol
After today's rally I had to look at my portfolios... still wound up in the 96% lol! Haven't made a trade in two weeks!
you can't make me look lol
It's up 2+% today
I still have EK in one account I refuse to look
I should go look and see where I'm at but I lost interest several days ago.
Same here... quit looking Friday pm...
I was in FAS, TNA, QLD and SSO over the weekend in all five portfolios...
so...
today I logged out of the challenge and won't be paper trading any more.
Maybe go back and look after it's over.
oh well.

end of day Wednesday was leaning long at 2 pm, left computer, came back and saw the mess, tried again, got killed.
was up really big early in the day, late day murdered me
best rank any day so far was 562
Mental midgets like me are only on E!
Wow, maybe see you with the Fast Money crew some night on TV
Yes, for sure!
Yeah I wish they'd just send me a prize of some sort and call it good.
LOL - Imagine if I had been trying:

Back in the 92 percentile.... what a grind out for me. Pisses me off that I had to start over after having been at the 98 percentile and then to wind up so far behind on the re-start At least I proved to myself that I could do it again and it wasn't a fluke.
no trivia questions today so far, wonder why
Ya think? LOL
I got hosed today. If I was a drinking woman - I would be popping the lid off a cold one right now. ;)
I gotta learn to short stocks cuz This long thing is losing it's luster.
just a big selloff
So is that indicative of a bear market? ;)
Oakland U Rock MI - tricky
Golden Slacks
DBS - Douche Bag Sucker bank
yes! thank you
NO, BEST BUY, JOHNNIE WALKER
That's us women - always bossing the men around. ;)
Too many women telling me other things to spend my time on, that's why.
lol
Win one week and you are off to a warm place. Why not take the time just for the fun of it?
Go for it. Life is short.
I'd like to win one week, that might be nice
but it's unlikely I will have the time to commit
Wow! I'm very impressed. :)
That isn't easy to do.
I was above 600 for a while, lol
That's EXCELLENT, Generic!
KUDOS!
LOL
1583rd
Game Rank Position
I'm up 24% on BGC.... $54K up.
If I could've just not destroyed my portfolios, i'd have been in a good spot.
Going to have to stick to my original strategy of playing biggest decliners during first hour of trading.
I'm too busy to play for the past few days
I just stuck VXX in one of my non-traded ones, fishing for easy cash
Yes it is but I started another portfolio and that one is already ahead and I haven't even traded in that one yet lol!
the UltraBull Disaster portfolio is on the comeback trail today lol
ah hah! good job, man/
