"People who can't own their own sports teams play fantasy sports. People who can't invest in the stock market do virtual trading. Why should I be left out?

Plenty of people say "oh I called it" after the fact. "I knew it was going to be big."

I wanted to publish my list publicly (esp. given YC W13 Demo Day) so I can publicly see my performance over time. No cheating and calling it after the fact. Trust me, if I had access to money to invest, I'd keep this list to myself and put my money where my mouth is.
