So I don't know if anyone already does this or if this has ever been done on here before but I'm going to assume not.

Basically anyone on here can play, it's just a fun, good realistic stock market game for all you finance majors out there. Anyone can play its just for fun but if it catches on maybe we can set up a prize of some sort.

Start with $200,000.00. Game goes on for a year (2/15/2012 - 2/13/2013) so I'm hoping this catches on!! Goodluck to anyone who joins. There are more detailed rules on the sight.

good call, its an agnostic beverage, it is neither root beer nor cola, nobody is sure what flavor it is and nobody can be sure

I don't have experience with this exact stock exchange website, but on the one that I used before you bought the stocks and it didn't show up until later that day or the next day.

These things are so stupid, I did one for my social studies class in high school. The programs let you trade after hours, so all you have to do is google the biggest changes overnight, buy that stock and then sell it in the morning when the market opens up.
