I have no goals (other than to get back my original screenname - BLUTO- and/or that account back. I never wrote down progress, never figured

out how to track back more than 90 days. Plus, I take a couple of years off now and then, so I have no clue re: long-term progression. I would love to see a long-term progress chart. Anyway, I wanted to make the top 200, and made it recently, and for a Delta that's about as ambitious and structured as it gets. Top goals: 1) Get name BLUTO and/or the actual account back. 2) Figure out how to reconstruct a long-term progress chart. 3) Figure out how Gina and Valaquenta went from roughly equal with me to smoking me like a fine doobie in a few months. 4) Try not to take a couple of years off. 5) Groom my entire portfolio once every five years, whether it needs it or not. 6) Adopt Port Monkey or something similar. 7) Figure out the cheater codes or autobots or outsourced Sri Lankan sweatshop or whatever enables some traders to make a trade every few seconds throughout the day. 8) Hit H$3 billion. 9) Refrain from being overtaken by anyone else. 10) Finish my screenplay for Midnight Run 2 (after achieving my goal of starting my screenplay for Midnight Run 2).

Oh, and finally I hope to receive appropriate, overdue recognition for winning the Harry Potter delist contest. I actually used the Best Buy gift card today to purchase a gift for my youngest son. Thanks for running the contest and actually paying off, Clayton! You are a true Delta brother in the highest tradition of existence for our members.

I honestly can't believe you stuck with this to the end. But every word is true and heartfelt. Trust me, I was pre-law. Or pre-med. What's the difference?

$10 billion by Jan 15 2012 (about $1.6 billion from where I am now) {nm} RogerMore Dec 22, 18:23

That's a very respectable target. I hope you achieve it. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Dec 22, 19:03

I crushed my goal for 2011, It was 350m. (550m now) my next natural goal would be 1billion. Think it might be easy. I only have idrom Dec 22, 18:26

Thanks for your encouragement. I'm not disappointed with the gains that I achieved during this year, accountant_4_Jesus Dec 22, 19:06

I'd like to get to $1B by Dec 31, 2012... Using the following assumptions dioneta Dec 22, 18:27

For last year my goal was 1 mill a day. and i only had 100 mill. Your port is bigger, so this should not be any problem. good luck {nm} idrom Dec 22, 18:34

You should be able to do it. accountant_4_Jesus Dec 22, 19:08

I'd like to make the Top 1000 {nm} tealfan Dec 22, 18:58

As at the time of your writing, that's only $72M away for you, easily achievable in a month, maybe a month and a half. accountant_4_Jesus Dec 22, 19:02

$5 billion by Dec 31 2012. I'd like to say top 50 LTD, but that group is going to be a lot richer by then. {nm} TFeeney Dec 22, 19:14

The #50 port a year ago was around $4.5B, compared to $4.9B today so count on it being a little higher but not that much. {nm} RogerMore Dec 22, 19:18

Here is how I worked out how much I had made this year: accountant_4_Jesus Dec 22, 19:39

You are an accountant. Me: Bluto. Your solution is elegant, and I am grateful for the offer, but it made my head hurt just reading it. DTXbro Dec 22, 19:51

You're welcome :) accountant_4_Jesus Dec 22, 19:56

Exceed last year's high of WBROX...$115.62 {nm} WBROXFund Dec 22, 19:22

Since I started mid-year, I'm having difficulty gauging what a good yearly gain goal is. To date, I've been playing for 134 days Ruthian23 Dec 22, 19:31

Did you know we made a bet with PRodQuanta a few months ago as to when you would catch us... slappydavid Dec 22, 19:39

Haha, no, I missed that. You know, though, you guys could back off a little in the 195-400 league. ;) {nm} Ruthian23 Dec 22, 19:51

You are just such a beast. I think I said either March or May 23rd. {nm} PRodQuanta Dec 22, 22:48

I read it all the way through :P accountant_4_Jesus Dec 22, 19:55

Thanks for the offer, but I actually already have one that I made back toward the beginning that automatically calculates stuff like that. Ruthian23 Dec 22, 20:03

That's ok. Glad to hear you're "well equipped" then ;) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Dec 22, 20:16

If you are offering up spreadsheets..... where is the line? {nm} dioneta Dec 22, 22:15
