MoogleViper Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 This game should make portfolios private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lillster Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 This game should make portfolios private. No problem, I'll change it to private. Edit: You can set it to private, but I think you have to it manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twozzok Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 This is why I think $1k is too small. The commission, makes it kinda hard to just bail out of losing stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much should I increase it by, I don't want to increase it too much? Edit: I won't be able to change it now, when the new game starts, i'll change it to a price everyone is happy with.

weeyellowbloke Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hmmm, pretty up and down first day. Why did I decide investing in American sustainable electricity was a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lillster Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 ._. I want to play Sorry mate, but this game has started now, and no more people can register. I'm sure there will be another game though, this game ends in about a month. So come back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Annoyingly... i forgot to do mine last night. Shit. When does the stock exchange open again today? Can i buy shares now and get results when they open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyellowbloke Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I think if you do them now they'll just sit as pending on your profile and get processed when the exchange reopens, whenever that may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Well, i just plunged all my money into three companies XD. We'll see how this goes. Its currently 5:29am and the markets open at 9am afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twozzok Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Also, remember when it's open, there's about half an hour delay before your trades get processed, it's annoying as shit, and can lose you megabucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 They open at 2. I should make some cash today. Exxon ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyellowbloke Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Just bought 1 share in google due to them being ridiculously expensive. $587 it cost me so it better be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Gah. I've got all my equity in an non-ferrous metals investment corp now. I hope it continues it's recent upwards trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 My mistake, it opens at 2:30 BST. The commission is far, far too high for the starting cash. It needs to be something like $1 for every $1,000 you start with, not $10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I can't wait to see how much money i lose today :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I'd be in favour of simply upping the start amount to about $2-3K. It makes the minimum $2 share value more workable too, allowing for more diverse portfolio's to start the game with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the 15 day mark (half way), would you and others be up for a second game being started (by me) with said changes to allow for more flexibility?

weeyellowbloke Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Well, good day so far. Been watching my stocks slowly tumbling to oblivion. US Geothermal is the only lot that are actually getting me anywhere. Edit: Oh yes! Google just did bit of a jump up. Come on the search engine. I am getting a little bit too into this.

LazyBoy Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I'd be up for starting again. Consider this a tutorial. The game rules are obviously a little off as well. When one person is in the red they're bad, when the majority is, it's the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 OH CHRIST. My shares in Exxon are dropping faster than a whores knickers. They've already lost $4 in value in the last half hour. WHY?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Some of mine just went up by $30, dropped, went back, dropped, and went back to $30, so I sold them at that. I tried investing in the larger companies that lost yesterday - namely, Wal-mart and Hewlett Packard. I'm loosing something like $3, so I'm hoping for a rallying.
