Okay, how do I clear this game from the "My Games" page on the virtual stock exchange webssite?

Any ideas?

In this short game, I learned that betting on the shares dropping would give better results than betting on gains.
Sometimes I was actually playing the same stock against itself to minimize against higher losses. Short Sell, yeah, I like it. :)

Been there. I lost $40K on GHL Technologies because the trades were so slow. It's definitely a short seller's game if you only run 30 days. Bulls are hard to catch, but bears go on for days.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
