Posted May 15, 2008 Joined, just a warning, $1k is quite a small amount to start with, especially when you have a $10 fee every transaction. Also, it's a good idea to read this: http://www.marketwatch.com/pf/started/gettingstarted_intro.asp It'll give you the basics of the stock market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2008 Joined, just a warning, $1k is quite a small amount to start with, especially when you have a $10 fee every transaction. I set it to a low amount so that people would invest wisely or at least think about what there investing in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 15, 2008 I'm joining, but I doubt I will do very well. I will probably invest in Statoil or any other Norwegian company I can find just for fun ^^ What is the timescale for this game?

Oh yes, very good... *invests all in oil companies* *realises he has to wait till Monday* Thats not true....just because HBOS has access to £600 Billion and so are in a really safe position, but asked for £4 Billion from their share holders, which will make such a big difference doesn't mean anything significant.... Wait.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
