    It'll last one month before people get bored. If that.

    Then in a year someone'll bump it, and most people will be wiped out from investing in small companies that went under in those eleven idle months.

    I'm in, I've been looking for a browser game to occupy my free time and this should do nicely. Plus, I'll actually be learning how to do shit on the stock market, which will be useful.

    This looks interesting. I might give it a go if it appears to actually be instructional about doing this stuff in real life.

    LOL. I couldn't afford to join Investment Club, but I'll give this a spin.
    Yay for zero-stake ventures.

    I'll play. End result will either be wishing I had invested real money due to my most triumphant decisions or laughing as all my fake money peters out and my stocks tank.

    Slight confusion. Duration: Day Order vs. Until Cancelled? I be a stock tard.

    I'm sure this bodes well for the future of my stocks =/

    Red, a 'day trade' is an order that is placed during a particular day, that is cancelled at the end of that trading day.

    An 'until cancelled' order means that the order will persist until it is cancelled by you or it is filled.

    Hope this helps.

    Yeah, I wasn't sure how the day orders would work, since I'd put them in after it was closed for the day.

    Hah, I'm in.

    Hope I won't suck too much, since I'm supposed to study a bit of finance this year.

    I'm in, have placed about $80k of orders, fingers crossed.

    Defence, pharmaceuticals, biotech, green tech. Wanted to invest in Intel too, but didn't have the money left.
