Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

12 months yikes we lost interest within a month

but w/e it takes a minute i'll creat it big_smile

the name is "IC Stock Competition"

I made it public so there is no password this also allows other people to join, not in IC which should be a little fun

In this one there is no minimum price or diversification, so more opportunities

have fun smile

Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

You start out with $100,000 simulated cash.  You can simulate buy and sell orders as if you were actually spending money.  The stocks rise and fall with the real NYSE.  If your stocks are worth enough, you can start borrowing money too, to buy more stocks.   You can directly order a buy or sell, or you can tell the program to sell a stock when the price hits a certain value.  You're trying to improve your total net worth from $100,000. 

In the first game, for some while I was at a net worth of $94,000 and I ended up with no cash but a total net worth of $128,452 in stocks.  Einstein had about 9 different stocks. 

I lucked out because blue chip stocks had a slump for a while due to oil.  But I put my stocks into deeply undervalued marginal stocks that were bound to recover, and CSX rail.  With Oil so pricey US rail is taking a lot of business from trucks.

Actually that isn't luck.  It's cold calculation.  Yes. Yes that's it.  I sat here like James Bond, immaculate in a cobalt blue tux, coolly smoking a cigarette, raking it in.  That's the image of me.  Not some guy in his underwear holding shareholders conferences with dolls made of dead flowers.

A year is good! We can join others for short term action but over a year true skill will emerge

Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

Long term is good...make it a year, at least tongue.

After 1 month you can compare and quit, if thats what you want. But some of us want to develop our long-term money making skills!
