This sucks cuz its only US stocks. So I cant play.

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

why does that mean you cant play?

Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

Because I do not know anything about the US stock market. Other americans have a huge leg up because they know american economy and what all those companies do.

Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

Yeah!!! smack dab in the middle, wait until the market opens Monday.

I'm going to be nicer promise

Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

Arcolex we don't really know either

And go to NYSE.com and browse around the Listings directory

There's lots of global firms on the NYSE. I've got $50,000 in russian steel. I don't know anything about russian steel but I know that stock wobbles between $61 and $50 a share from the last game, I'm gonna ride it for a couple bucks a share.

If you wanted to focus on EU or the commonwealth that's possible too, NYSE.com let's you browse the listings by nationality.

Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

damnit X(

my secret's out

Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

Buy Schnitzer Steel.

Gone up HUGE over the time.

Avoid Corn, it's dropping due to Ohio flooding for sure.

GE is going to free fall since Americans are starting to quietly boycot it.

Qwest Communications has been politically active. They are funding a huge portion of both the GOP and DEM conventions... And other aspects. I expect they want some regulatory change. Probably down right now, but up in a few months as the players see that it will pay off.

Comcast and Direct TV are in hardcore competition, prices going to drop soon I expect, a risky set of stock picks atm

Movies are doing rather well this year after the strike let up. If there is a movie maker with stock.. buy buy buy!

Several new breakthroughs in electrical energy will be showing dividends in the next few months to years. Some very good companies to buy into if you can find them.


If a long term game if Obama wins invest everything into any companies Al Gore has stock in. The government will fund those to a fare thee well and you will get a huge payoff. If McCain wins invest asap to BP and other oil companies who drill ocean waters for oil.

If you expect Obama to win buy oil now, sell when it passes 250 if he should win. If you expect McCain to win find a company that supports lawyers, and invest fast... while they are down, they will boom under McCain.

If you expect Obama to win then invest in gold asap. Prices will skyrocket as people buy it up to try to protect thier assets from being utterly lost. Also look at banks offshore and untouchable in the United States.

If you expect McCain to win then invest in companies with a lot of illegal aliens. McCain has a senior advisor who was an assistant directly to the President of Mexico and has dual citizenship. Expect the illegals to get freedom to stay, but not citizenship (IE they will be slave labor forever).

If you expect Obama to win then invest outside the United States for 3/4 of your portfolio.

If you expect McCain to win then invest inside the United States for 3/4 of your portfolio.

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

LMFAO einstien tongue

if obama...or either way

seriously invest in coal, solar power, wind power, other alternative energy companies, transocean-after the hurricane season is over

and for wind power, it's better to invest in companies who are mostly solar but also creat parts for wind turbines --those are guna be huge

and this is actual advice unlike einstien tongue

Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

If Obama wins stocks are gonna plummet as everybody gets out in 2008. I believe Dems will soak us all again so 2009 will be a recession year.

Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

Hardly!!!

usually surprisingly from what i've heard -- and again i've never really followed politics or financial news before this -- whenever democrats are in the office the stock market generally does better

Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

THat's cause a democrat can't take the White House unless we're in a recession already

Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

Obama will have a huge impact upon our economy. He talks no platforms except a form of hillary care and pulling out of Iraq.

He is a walking failure.

He says he has been bi-partisan... but you tell me which bills were bi-partisan he sponsored, or what bills that are considered bi-partisan he voted on.

There are none.


McCain actually, sadly to Republicans, has been extremely Bi-Partisian, and mostly liberal. But at least he has shown his colors in full. Obama hints at a Black Racist mixed with Marxist and Stalin

Re: ** IC Stock Market Game **

I started a 1 year game, IC Annual.  It will end June 24 2009.

For a twist you only get $1000.00 to play with.  I think that's more lifelike.
Let's see who can make the most of it!  Interest I think is 6%.  So if you end up with $1070.00 at the end of a year, you did as well as if you stowed it in a bank.

Duh. edited to correct my bad math.
