Day Two

Two Days in, Surprise Leader
-Associated Press

New York, NY. After a long and tumultuous two days of the Roberts Wolfson Stock Challenge, Meg Roberts, a latecomer to the game, finds herself with a commanding lead. In a shocking twist of fate, seasoned money managers Ben, Mike and Steven suffer enormous losses in bear market. Meg describes her brilliant investing strategy as, "brilliant, competitive, passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive, consistent, dominant, controlled, balanced, and really just far better than yours." She hopes to donate her vast lack of losses to charity.

When asked to comment, Marvin Schwartz said, "I also knew she was smart, but I didn't realize how stupid the rest were. I mean, they did put give their money to me for all those years. I guess that was Dot, who clearly would have just mirrored my portfolio. I'm up 7,000 points over the last three minutes. Vote McCain!"
