>they do have some amazing traders, so you can just mirror them (I'm kind of hesitant to do that, not sure why).
I'd be hesitant to do that because even a broken clock is right twice a day. I haven't looked at covestor in a while but, IIRC, you couldn't see what the other guy was invested in until you committed capital. If I can't see his investments or perform other due diligence, I have no idea what kind of risks he's taking to generate those returns. I'm much happier with my portfolio - which is designed to track the MSCI World Index and reduce risk - than I would be with some crazy trader gambling with my money. I beat the MSCI by 3 points last year which is an acceptable return and I sleep like a baby :)
