What do you guys think of this? I think its a pretty sick idea, but some aspects of it confused me. Will there be more news about this or did I miss something? Either way, discuss. Btw, yes I see the thread right below this...but its 2 years old.

when does it start? and where is there an easier link to it (rather than going to the x games predictions story)?

other than that i think its awesome, i want to see how it goes down.

and will all opening bids be $10 or for people like jon olsson will we have to have a higher max opening bid to get some stocks? (some of parts of this really confuse me)

I wanna play but i dont have enough knowledge about the real stock market and trading and shit.  Its a sick idea though different from the generic fantasy league idea.

so i think this is how it goes
correct me if im wrong

There are skiers, we buy and sell them in stocks according to how they're doing in the season?
does this mean we have to follow the news on them and everything?

you guys are finding a way to exploit, I can assure you that all the over traded over valued skiers will probably get adjusted to below market value.

i think the way it was set up was quite unfair becuase everybody that got to table there orders before the market opend got a huuuge advantage over everybody that had to buy the stocks from them at way higher prices cuase we hadnt seen it yet.

w/e i made like 15 000 so far

i hope prices go down because at this point it doesnt ever make sense to sell anything and the only sales are like 100% above market value.
