Alright so I know we have done these in the past because I have been a part of both of them but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a Stock Market Challenge Game. I would run it off of MarketWatch.com and be open to anyone on Newschoolers.

Please Let me know if you are interested/any suggestions for stipulations and I will start on one.

I'd be game to participate. I also think it's a good idea to put together a prize for the top 3 finishers. If Bishop would hook it up with a NS shirt or something, that would be ideal. I'd also be game to throw in a few bucks toward a prize pool if not.

Well, my portfolio is diversified up to the fuckin moon. Also, I would recommend doing significant market research prior to purchases. Almost invested in a failing mutual fund by accident

Hmm, Ill have to see if I have the time.

I just feel like it could be an unfair advantage, so much information that no one else really has access to at their finger tips.
