Duel Flashback:
Spiders

Oh, what a tangled Duel we weaved. Six months ago we took on S&P 500 proxy S&P Depositary Receipts <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(Amex: SPY)") else Response.Write("(Amex: SPY)") end if %>, commonly known as Spiders. Jeff Fischer (TMF Jeff) spun a bullish case. Paul Larson (TMF Parlay) had a case of arachnophobia.

The S&P 500, and the Spiders, have risen 16% since then. Our Foolish Voters at the time correctly sided with Jeff.

Victory? Jeff and our Voting Fools. Congrats!
