I thought Research in Motion had bottomed out and today it goes even lower. Same with Groupon.

Is the 1% volume restriction intentional?  Cause I think it's restricting how much you can buy of stuff.

Apple is like playing with a hot potato today.
Apple is a long term investment. You want to get lucky and catch a low and buy in to wait it out.
This game lasts 30 days. It's day trader with play money.

Let' face facts.  If our Govt. can't come up with a feasible economic plan for running our govt. efficiently
things won't improve very much.  Many in Congress think they've inherited a life time job with no ceiling
on benefits and wages.  And that's not pointing fingers at either party.  Whos' fault is that???
To put it simply ours.  To much bias towards one political party or another is not doing us anygood at all.
Somewhere, somehow, we the voters should wake up.  Things won't improve unless we make it improve.

Man I took it in the shorts today. I wish I had shorted some mattress stocks. Tempurpedic lost nearly 50% and Matteress Firm around 40%. :bhead

I could not remove the 1% restriction. Apparently the system allows for different setups and since I went for low end simplified for the masses when setting it up it was a default, no removal option...I hate it because I now remember why the game switched to a different system after the first couple of times we ran it. I will do some digging on these games and see if we can use something different next time.

Actually, I have a couple gripes about the game. You can't pre-set trades and it won't record trades unless the market is open. I tried to make a couple trades for as soon as the market opened and they didn't go thru even tho it said they were completed. The last time we did this that was allowed. You have to babysit this one. It won't do any reprogrammed trades.
Not really complaining, appreciate you taking the time to set the game up. But next time you might want to turn some options on.
