Default The HL Investment Challenge

For those who may be interested I have created a virtual investment game which may be found here:

Virtual Stock Exchange - Home

The Game ID: HLINVEST
Game Name: H.L. Investment Challenge

The game is a private game open to whoever wants to play. The password to join is hlchallenge and anyone can join.

Pretty simple to play. Each person joining the game has $10,000 to invest as they see fit. You can change your investments just about as often as you like. Pretty much a Virtual Stock market game for investing.

The game will run for 6 months and he who finishes with the most cash wins. Maybe we could come up with a prize?

Ron

HAHAHA, nice find! I know prettymuch nothing about stocks, but I might give it a shot anyway. Do you need to register on the site to participate in the game?

OMG, now that was funny.

Everyone has a portfolio with $10,000 cash in it. You have the option of investing in stocks or whatever. On the left, right below VSE you click Make A Trade to buy or sell.

The bummer is the market is up today so I am reluctant to buy. Damnit... Trying to remember is it buy high and sell low or the other way around.
