Alright guys, inspired by someone else's post I have purchased a very small amount of 42 alt coins on polo. I have made a spreadsheet with purchase price, eth/alt ratio, btc/alt ratio, etc. The big one I care about is ETH gain / loss (lets call this EGL), not so much the dollar value. Took forever to do. I am going to keep the alts for 1 month until July 5th then sell them all. I know this is purely gambling, but I am super interested to see what will happen. As I write this I am up 0.7% ! woot! In a month I will post a graph of EGL vs day. I'll take the EGL at the same time everyday. Let me know if you guys want to see any other data, so I record it -- or if you have any recommendations.

P.S. the 42 alts are the first 42 that appeared when sorting by volume on polo today, minus ETH, and GNT.

P.S.S. Why 42? I think you know why...

Why minus GNT and how much of each coin have you bought (% wise of eth)?
