We've had it before, so I'm going to get it up and running again.

First things first - sign up here. After you do that, and go through the non-sense spam that it wants you to sign up for.. Search for the "419eater" game (without the " "), this is a public game.
It gives me this link but i'm not sure if it'll redirect you to it.
Sign up, don't use your real name.. and your email should be your baiting one or something of that nature.
They've revamped the site since our last competition so i'll have to check over it and learn how to buy stocks all over again Sad

PS: ends march 23rd.

search comes up with nothing Sad

EDIT: Nevermind! I found it! Embarassed

Radden, is it you who is responsible for the spam emails telling me to sell everything I own and buy shares that are 'bullish'? Laughing

I think this is a fix.

@419weasel (but you found already) and others - try this

search for the 419eater game

PSS: from my first post, I should of made the stock game longer but then we forget about it after a month, so I decided 2 months was good enough Wink

I just joined. Is it a invite game, or public?

** SUSPENDED ** Joined: 26 Mar 2005 Posts: 1267

Public Game.. Read the first post again you bum.

Thank you for something else to occupy my time! This looks like fun though.

why not?

How long does it take for your stocks to show up in your portfolio? I presume overnight?

** SUSPENDED ** Joined: 26 Mar 2005 Posts: 1267

20 minutes - when the market is open.. Morning time they show up when it's closed (if you make a trade while it's closed).

Posted: Wed Jan 24, 2007 6:45 pm

Yeah, they just showed up.

Radden- you have officially consumed the 4 seconds in my day that I had to spare. Thanks! Laughing

Posted: Wed Jan 24, 2007 6:55 pm

I signed up. Very Happy

What the hell, I'm in, too! Razz

I remember last time around buying a few stocks in the beginning and then doing basically nothing at all but ending up in the upper middle of the field Wink

Besides, what with all the stock spam I'm getting these days, this should be really easy...

Now the PWT has died (RIP) I've got to find something else to do with my lunch breaks.
I'm there.

I don't get stock spam Razz

Maybe I do but I ignore it and never remember what I delete. If you're concerned about spam, make up some fake random email address - they do not ask you for verification.

Just a quick update, everyone who signed up yesterday is now shown on the rankings page.. Takes a day to update it so now.. I'm on top Surprised

, which I was not expecting.

I'm in. Am I the first Dalek on the SE?

Possibly!

I just got this when i tried to invest 20 more shares in GOOG

Invalid Trade: Diversification Rule
This transaction cannot be made as it violates the simulation's diversification rule.
The diversification rule limits the percentage of any one security in the portfolio to 25% of your equity value of $100,150.80. The rational for this is to make the game more realistic. Let's face it, putting your entire portfolio into one security is unlikely to happen in real-life! (not for me, mr. diversification! - I will have MILLIONS to spend soon at the SE)

I screwed up an accidentally only bought one of each stock. Embarassed

I am going back now to buy more. So, I effectively wasted about 20 trade fees! Evil or Very Mad

Dr Mike was hit even worse! I had to go back and purchase more shares since I bought single shares from 15 different companies! Evil or Very Mad

Sadly, all of the stocks that I invested in the day before had gone up and were a little more expensive. I took a wicked hit- to the tune of $1500 or so. Crying or Very sad
