Stock Competition Round 2

[The Green Guy]

Is this thing in Beta form? It does seem a bit buggy. In regards to overspending, I'm not sure what happened. How can anyone explain spending too much except for shoddy programming. Don't get too serious about fantasy leagues. Its just for fun and was intended on maybe getting a better understanding of how the whole thing works.

I agree I don't see how anybody overspent I know the thing never let me. And yes it was for fun but also it was a competition.

Yea, the over spending is no biggie to me at all. Nor is selling at the end of day and not being able to buy until early the next day. After all, you never know how long it takes for a trade to go through. You can check the stats to see though. Usually it is about 20 minutes but sometimes may take longer. But to me unless it is allowed by everyone, then I can't see selling everything when the market is going down for everyone and sitting on it until the market starts going back up. If it was ok then I probably would have sold all my stocks last Friday and would still be sitting on the cash.

As far as taking it serious though, I really don't, just want to make sure everyone plays by the same rules. To me having the same rules is what makes it a competition, whether it is just a game or not. But I guess next time we can start one person off with 15000 and everyone else with 10000 and see how interested the 10000 people stay. That is all I am saying. Yes, it is a game and no I will not lose any sleep over it. In a nutshell, if I am going to put the time into anything, then whether a game or not, I would like to see that everyone at least attempts to play by the rules. I know the overspending thing was to me just a glitch and I really don't care.

I can even see selling some of your stock and forgetting to buy more because of how long trades take and such every once in awhile.

I guess why I am even bothering posting about this is that I do enjoy the stock competition, even when I am losing. I just want to make sure that if we do it again, then the same rules apply to everyone is all. And I think part of that is being very clear on what the rules are. Like right now, yea spend your money and keep it in the market, but does anyone know how much you can sit on? $100?, $1000? $10? I know I don't.

Yeah I can see what your saying. Its still a game and games should be played fairly. Nobody likes it when people are not following the rules of the game. I guess if it was Monopoly and someone had the most cash left because they stayed in jail all the time and hoarded their cash that would suck.

Actually, the way I play Monopoly is that you cannot collect any rent while in jail. lol But yea, I get the point

That is weird, even though todays stock market is open and everyone has at least some stock purchased, it still shows todays return at "+0.00 %" . Anyone else see that too or is it just my screen for some reason?

Nevermind, right after posting this I rechecked it and it finally updated.

Sorry I've been sitting on money; lately a ton of my trades haven't been going through. Like I setup a buy or sell order, and then it just never happens. It's really weird, and bugged. After two days of trying to buy things and it not going through, i just kinda gave up. I'll look today and see if I can get some through.

Damn I forgot to check my portfolio today, but I just checked it and boy oh boy, I sure had a good day today!!! wohooo!!!!
