Nah. WWW is way cheap right now. I'd buy it in real life, too.

Well, actually I wouldn't buy anything in real life because I know nothing about stocks.

That's what I mean. You seem to buy the stocks with cool abbreviations.

I could only bring myself to buying apple stock... AAPL

**codyrockx** · Aug 5, 2005 14:34

For short term you want to buy jumpers after they've gone down considerably. So like when I started a few days ago, I began with Microsoft. And sure enough, they were down, today they've paid off 10k in the game.

Now if it were only real money!

Thank you rising oil prices, the downturn in the market is finally playing out in my favor

**someonewhois** · Aug 8, 2005 18:53

Yeah, well, I could've been up another $36,000 had I held on to my oil stock another week.

**codyrockx** · Aug 10, 2005 23:21

Ok, so for the record, I was in first yesterday.

I just happened to lose 45k in one day!

**Cookiebox** · Aug 10, 2005 23:32

**codyrockx** · Aug 10, 2005 23:44

**D3Studio** · Aug 11, 2005 03:07

**Marubozo** · Aug 11, 2005 04:35

I was in second to last place on friday, but moved up to 5th after yesterday's poor market performance

**sputza** · Aug 11, 2005 08:31

I joined. This should be fun.

**Hartmann** · Aug 11, 2005 08:35

I really don't like this system.

There is a delay in buying and selling in which time the price could plummet or skyrocket. Also, it doesn't seem to follow real time stock reports. I had some EBay stock that was up more than a point yesterday but this game reported it as going down.

Aw, man, other people are also going with the "everyone else is going to do something dumb and lose all their money" strategy. And here I was thinking I was all clever.

I'd invest in oil but it's just too volatile and this game doesn't represent real time pricing.

It's the correct prices they're just delayed 15 mins. As long as you are doing the checking of stocks on their site then you're fine. Also, for any stock game, they have to be delayed, none of them are real time.

**Young Twig** · Aug 11, 2005 11:46

WWW finally went up. I made $6,000 off of it in the end. Of course, I'm still way down.

**codyrockx** · Aug 11, 2005 13:33

Stocks are interesting. Now I made 30k back from the 45K I lost!

**Young Twig** · Aug 11, 2005 14:01

I'm nearing breaking even.

There's no delay in reality?
