Ahoy sheep loving dweebs. It's 'bout that time again. The time for most of us to be embarrassed by how bad we are at picking and trading stocks. This time around, we have a volatile market, possibly on the rebound.
The standings from last year, courtesy of Donzo and the old thread:

So, here's the setup.
http://vse.marketwatch.com/Game/Homepage.aspx <- Here's the link.
The game name (both short and long) is AcesHigh4 .
THE PASSWORD IS "twoweeks".
The trading starts on July 1st, and ends on July 31st.
The rules are as follows:
$100g's to start, late joiners are allowed, and you will NOT earn interest on cash unspent on stock. You can purchase on a 2:1 margin, with $9.95 cost per trade. Lowest priced stock you can purchase is $0.05 (5 cents). Your trade will NOT take place in the game until the volume for trade for your stock has actually occurred in the real world. (I.E. If you trade 1 million shares of Verizon, you might have to wait several hours for 1 million shares of verizon to be traded on the REAL DOW JONES / NASDAQ.) There will be no Private Portfolios, nor restarting in game. Stop orders, sell shorts, and limit orders are allowed. Lastly, there is 6% interest on all money spent over the $100,000 you start with (usually collected when stock is sold).
All of these rules can be changed up til the start of the game, if you guys want.
I mostly peruse FlameWarriors these days, however I'll be over here about once a day to check to see if there are any comments or questions.
EDIT: Somehow, the link got corrupted when copying it over.

The word *T*W*A*T* is getting censored.
The link for the game is vse.market()watch.com . Remove the () to get the actual link.

Is this stocks only?
Can we trade commodity and index contracts and currencies?
What about options?

To be honest, I'm not sure. I don't think you can do commodities, or currencies. You basically need a Stock Ticker Symbol to make the trade inside of Market Watch.

awe i wanted to invest in gold and copper
-
I would like to do it on SOME other system than that screwed up Market Watch system. That thing is slower than anything I have ever seen and it doesn't process some trades at all.
-
Hehe...
I'm gonna try and finish better than last...

I do believe this is attributed to the fact that your trade needs to have REAL volume match your volume before it would buy or sell.
Once I started watching this, it seemed to move faster.

Guess that means I can't invest in Cotton? :)

Game starts up tomorrow! Everyone is still invited to join!
-
Ahoy hoy dweebs! Game's off and running. Everyone's more than welcome to join late!
However, the point of this game is to make money (or lose it) by trading. At the end of the day Friday, I'll be kicking those that haven't traded. They are more than welcome to rejoin.
-
I'm not on that list? I was 3rd for most of the year??
-
LOL, Today my stock increased an impressive 64.79%… This still leaves me with a NEGATIVE 34.12% return.
To say that I started out "poorly" would be an understatement.
-
Still in second place. Apple is treating me well this year.
-
I started off pretty bad lost 5k in tryin different stocks then invested in the pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical research. The pharmaceuticals have done really well for me including johnson and johnson. The small research ones that cost $1-$3 to purchase got me a lot back. :aok
-
Oh the real thing is sooooo much better....

-
I am doing good so far. I bought some shares in apple when it was $135 a share, now it is $159 a share. Which now has e in First.

Guys, I "joined" because I was interested in what stocks were doing well. I didnt want to jump in the last 2 days because it would have been unfair to do that. Feel free to delete me if it needs to be done. I've been busy with summer work and havent been on the boards much and havent even "flown" in aceshigh in a month.
So, I was interested in what you guys had bought and what was doing well this summer, as I'm trying to learn about the stock market and stuff.
