The Financial Braggarts Club completed its 11th year at the end of 2008. Members Bill Reed, Josh Taylor, Bill Cobb, Tony DeMaria, Ken Osborne, John Caldwell, Joe Scheines, and Bill Beckemeyer gather annually to award the traveling trophy to the member whose portfolio gained the most during the past year (and do a little bragging about our stock picking prowess.) Here Bill Reed reviews the trophy's history and previous winners.

Ken Osborne was the 2008 winner.

In addition to the trophy, Ken gets the breakfast bill.

The group. Tony DeMaria and Bill Beckemeyer were unable to attend.

The group enjoyed breakfast under the OK Cafe money tree -- how appropriate!
