Well Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time for the second annual Aces High Stock Market Game.
http://vse.marketwatch.com/Game/Homepage.aspxAs a quick recap, last year saw some pretty awesome work by most, and some pretty weak action by others (including myself). Here are the top 10 finishes:
1 Midnight Target $178,501.48 +78.50%
2Caligula $175,720.97 +75.72%
3octavius $174,051.86 +74.05%
4gollum $169,195.97 +69.20%

7BlueJ $162,356.60 +62.36%
8Gtora2 $157,409.05 +57.41%
9Sixpence $156,073.95 +56.07%
10Master Bates $150,793.16 +50.79%
So here are the details. The game starts the first of July. It's a sunday, but if I remember, you'll be able to make your orders then. You'll have 6 weeks to make as much money as possible.
The game name is
AcesHigh2. The password is
2Weeks.
The lowest price stock to buy is $0.25, no maximum. You'll have $100,000 to start off with. There is a cost of $29.95 per trade exchange fee. Anyone can join the game at any time, however, you cannot reset your portfolio.
Even though it is a real world viable strategy to just sit on the money and earn interest, no person who does it in this game will be considered in the rankings if they have made 0 transactions.
Now, the settings may not be correct. I have made the game private and password protected. I do not know if it's viewable to anyone, and if you then have to type in the password. If it's not working as I assume it would, post here and I'll resolve the issue.
Also, all settings can be changed, provided that there is a good reason to do so. I changed the low stock price from $2.00 to $0.25 following requests for penny stocks.
