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.

That is so fucking cool. there should be shrines for Matt Groening there. Does the teacher blow? Does he say "excellent?" How fucking old is he?

I go to school with him. The teacher is about 75 or so, he's been teaching at our school for probably 40 years. He is actually hilarious, but he is an asshole and picks on certain kids. His name is mr bailey. If you call him mr. Burns, he will freak out because he knows groening based the character on him

Wonderful. I would call him that every chance I got. Does he look like burns? Does he say "excellent?"

hes basically the human form of mr burns, his nose in not big or anything though, other than that he nailed it. ive probably heard him say excellent before, usually when he talks about devious things he has a voice kind of like that.

Shoulda put a call option on Heinz yesterday. One year to 18 months im long on gld, uso, possiable usg depending on their restructuring, ddd once it sells back off to below 49, bullish on comodities. I see a big sell off / price correction comming within the next 4-8 months maybe less shots gonna hit the fan soon

Started again in another game:

"I'm going to be really tactical and think this one through this time"

Too lazy.

*Buys all GM stocks because they're cheap*.

It's a good plan guys don't worry.

This thing ended 6 days ago apparently. How do I find out how I placed? I pretty much did the same Google/Apple cruise control thing as everybody else.

Don't know why you would do that in a game of virtual money you're never going to win. You got to make huge risks and just say fuck it and hope it pays off.
