Regarding fractional ownership, not something I'd be interested in doing unless I was the person hanging on to the card until it sold. At least having the card would allow you to get a good feel of ownership, even if it's fractional.

I keep telling myself to dump what I have, take the money and run but I just can't do it. If I ever do something like that, I'll let everyone know because if I'm selling, then it'll be time to buy because everything I sold would increase in value by 50% a month after I sell it off. Don't believe me, just wait...

There is a top 100 index, sorry I forget the name but a member here is trying to complete it. Maybe he can chime in if he sees this.
