hey guys my brother just made up a stock market website but with things that are going on in the world. starting next month there will be a contest on who can make the most in "x" amount of days ( around 2 months i think as of now and everyone will start back at "0") anyways whoever wins will get a Nano, or something even bigger depending on how many people sign up. check it out its pretty sweet and you start off with $2,000,000 to invest wont hurt just to check it out.

yeah its a better setup, but thats because marketwatch does all the data for newspapers and stuff. marketwatch tracks the real world stock market, while the game mentioned here is based of of mostly events. ex of a stock in the game(which is doing very well for me right now) is "bush approval rating drops into the 20s", not like apple computer or ford motor company or something

my dad is a stock broker, and I took a buisnes classs last year. we played a game in it, and I just took all of his advice and bought some really good stocks, like medical ones and shit, while these other fools were buying like abercombie stock and stuff. I made a shitload of money in the game, and then sold all my stocks. I just then sat on my money for the rest of the game.

this reality market game needs more short term stocks.
and just basically more stocks in general
because all of the options you have right now are like
who wins superbowl/world series
who wins primaries
do they find jimmy hoffa.
lol
and no apple isn't making an iPhone so why invest

iPhone is totally happenin'!  If I were everyone, I would buy it because it's going to going to be announced next week
;)

This is an awesome idea, with lots of investors it would become pretty fun.

ps, what happenes if the events do happen?  You just get paid out?  and if it doesn't happen you lose your investment? that would make the day before closing crazy!
