    Is there any way to see the performance of your individual stocks, as opposed to your entire portfolio? It looks like they've disappeared.

    Yeah I didn't do much with it after February. I checked on it pretty regularly for about 2-3 weeks, then I set up some "Auto Buy" and "Auto Sell" orders and didn't look at it again for months.

    Looking at it from a real life perspective though, I doubt I could afford to sink more than $1000 or so into it. If I had the same return on that I'd have made $100, which may not have been worth the time/stress involved in doing this for real.

    I really hope that this comes back. The experience I had with this game was fun and allowed have something to talk about with my dad, other then me being a disappointment of course.

    40/81 :awesome

    I'm curious - can someone explain to me how PsychoticCat got so much money? From what I understand it has something to do with BNI-BRK takeover, but nothing I've read about it explains over 10,000% return to me.

    This part I know, but how was that done in a practice? I couldn't find much about the whole process, only that he bought BNI shares for 100$ each in cash and stock, and they market value was then about 98$. I suspect it was some magic with taking BRK.A or BRK.B shares instead of cash, but still don't see 10,000% return. What am I missing?
