Well I know we have a bunch of stock heads in here, some know what they're doing, some dont, some want to know. This is a way to hopefully test each of us and let us learn from each other.
Here's the info you need to join the challenge:
http://game.marketwatch.com/Competitions/CompetitionHome.asp
Competition ID: wakeboarder
Competition Name: Wakeboarder.com Stock Challenge.
It will run for 2 months, and I'll update results maybe weekly. All portfolios are public so we can see all the transactions, just play fair and dont just try and copy someone else's(or be disqualified. ). I set the lowest stock trade at $1 as I dont want penny stocks and such traded, less gamble more investment. The trades/quotes are delayed 20 minutes so those of you with instant quotes dont cheat, it just makes it less fun. No day trading anyway, as this is only $10, and you need a $25k minimum to day trade in real life.
Everything is paper traded just as if it were real, but I disabled margin.
Let me know if you disagree with any rules or think some should be changed.
Everyone join in and have fun. Best of luck.

Too busy too. It would be more interesting if it lasted for a couple years. We did this crap in college and it was just basically gambling with play money. Easy to go dark horse when it doesn't coincide with your kids not getting to eat that week. _________________ Steal My Book

Sounds good, sorry you guys dont have much time. I extended the competition to 1 year, we can always change it anytime. muckmeister, J-Ro, jump in with some long term choices if you find some free time.
I'm glad people are into it.
Right now my other means of investing arent doing as high as I'd like, so I've got to crack down harder on stocks. _________________

Ok BigRed, I'll make it 2 months again. After that maybe I'll make another one.
Hell I'd probably forget about it too.
Sorry I dont have a prize to give out, but I may make a comp with prizes later depending on who all participates. _________________

Laugh Damon, it's ok man just have fun.
Making money is really easier than most people think. A little research to find a good company, and little research on that company, and paying attention to the company's news.
Lots of traders make all the money/trades on one stock. _________________

pyrocasto, i signed up but it seemed so over complicated, kept kicking me out and was so hard to navigate i gave up.
If you can find an simpler one that would be groovy.
or we could just record everything on here and lose the system. like say "hey i am throwing 7k of my 10k at UNITE (LSE)" and then record our own gains/losses. So long as people don't invest in huge numbers of companies it should stay pretty simple. _________________ www.AxisBoats.co.uk | www.Malibu-Boats.co.uk |

Brit Rider, I guess being a technology buff what you said sounds like more work to me. I havent actually had any problems with the logging in or staying logged problem.
No worries though, the site in use now isnt that good and I'm going to change it soon. But since quite a few have already signed up and traded for 2 solid weeks I'm going to wait til the comp's over to start with another site. _________________

Wow how sad.
I actually quite trading this because I'd cheat even if I didnt want to. Of course if I did keep trading it and it was perfect, I'd be down about 15% more right now. _________________
