Guys. It's not a bug. I just checked the actual stock market. It's legit...

Well, we all lose.

 

I checked this morning, too. Damn...

Psychotic Cat: Well-fucking played, bro'

 

Haha... AWESOME.

Psychotic Cat: Get off the internet and go become a stock broker. I think you can make it.

 

We all got steam rolled.

 

Massive bump, since we're nearing the end of the game.

I'm currently 47 out of 80, which is not that bad considering much of my capital was used buying BP stock. Way to fail.

Well played, Psychotic Cat.

 

Lol, I was like predictor of bad stock.

Toyota? Massive multi-billion dollar costing scandal which resulted in massive product recalls.

BAE? Corruption investigations that cost contracts and seriously cut the share price.

 

This seems like fun, too bad I missed it. Any chance anyone would be willing to play another round?

 

I enjoy my position.

Put money into companies you like, get profit.

Go go Panera Bread!

 

Wait...what? 8 out of 80?! Last time I looked I was like 99 of 100.

Gogo stealing the solar power idea from someone else.

On the other hand, fuck that gold company I invested in. They don't even exist anymore!

Netflix and Apple did very well. Too bad I forgot to invest in Netflix and wont invest in Apple.

 

I'm happy with my overall performance, drifting between the top 10 during the whole thing; well played Psychotic Cat, but I still can't believe that actually happened. Shit on my face. It's a bit difficult for me trying to research stocks in the American market, my real portfolio for the year did a little better, but still I've actually learned a lot from this virtual scenario!

I'd definately be up for another round.

 

Missed it aswell, I'd be up for playing a new one.

 

68 out of 80, professional investing is not in my future I can see. Still I'd be up for another round, and hopefully I would even manage not to lose money this time.

 

My blue chip strategy netted me a safe $1000, lol. Retirement savings here I come.

 

I'm in if you guys are doing it again. Does it teach you anything about the real stock market?

 

It depends how seriously you take it. You could just throw your money at a certain stock and leave it for a year, not getting much out of the experience but theorhetically could do well in the game. But if you take the time and effort to go over past performance, evaluate a business yourself on turnover etc and feel you can make a profit on the current price of the shares, than yes you can learn a lot.

 

Rank 80 out of 81.

Beat Taure. Fuck yeah.

 

4th out of 81 with a 55% return on my investments. Not a bad outcome.

 

Ugh. 43rd.

I am disappoint.
