What would be really fun is if you guys made a one month game every month and the people who didnt come in 1st divided the $14.95 or $16.03 and send it to the winner. That way if you win you get a free month of AH.

Or everyone who joins puts $5 in and winner gets the "pot".

I know I would be one playing every month. Anyone else?

The game starts on Sunday. These orders won't happen till monday, due to the market not being open.

You can buy and sell stocks, in the basics. You have 100 grand to spend, but it's 29.95 dollars per order trading fee. You can borrow double what you have, but it's a pretty high fee for the loan against your money.

From there, look up what Short Selling is, and start looking up companies you like and think would do well.

When the game starts, we'll help you out with the orders (we don't have access to them either).

Over Valued stock is = Research in Motion (RIMM): Look for it to get close to the $250 per share mark over the next few weeks before they split it. What the hell have they done to get stock prices so high????

Alright, my orders are placed. I'll have no control if they start tanking, so my haphazard method of picking stocks will have to pay off.

This game took way too much time. I was Master Bates.I took my eye off the ball due to that nasty interfereing thing called work and it cost me huge in the game. No way I came 10th...I was much lower than that. I was in second place until about a week or two before the game ended.

The present standings of that last game is wrong as it is based on current value of those that still hold stocks. It is still recalculating totals. I actually won that game with 138k. I had sold off all my stocks so my total remains the same.
