Ed's Talking Stock versus my Spiffy Fifty

Readers may recall that I follow a blog (Ed's Talking Stock) that discusses stocks. The blogger, Ed McGon, is quite aggressive an certainly an active trader. He posts his results daily on his blog. Just for fun, I started a simple 50 stock portfolio on December 3rd and have bee comparing our results. He has been coming back a bit, but my Spiffy Fifty portfolio is still substantially ahead:
