So, we can't start buying stuff until 1-2-15?

That is correct! The game will end on 12/4/2015.

I will keep this bumped for new members and a reminder to those who have signed up. Once you sign up, you should be able to access it from the link above. Which is good due to all the different passwords I have.

No from the 80's classic, Wall Street

Both are good. 1st one is iconic.

If that was you that just joined, change your name to reflect your user name. First name Shadow, last name Link. It will show your name if you do not change it. You can change under my profile, then edit profile and change your name.

This seems to be drawing some fans. Good idea, Brink!

So far, so good. I will do everything in my power to keep it bumped and updated monthly.

I think I'll not do a 2015 market prediction thread. 2014 was the 4th year I've done it and it's gotten a little stale.

Meh, I enjoy doing it. Although, I admit, I was always aim low that way if I win good, if I lose, I still win cause my portfolio is doing good!

I changed my name from Korkstand Korkstand to Kork Stand quite a while ago. I even quit the game and rejoined, and my name still hasn't changed.

edit: went back to the profile (where it already had Kork Stand), and just hit the update button for a second time and it changed.

Won't participants be able to see how we're doing at any time?

Of course a bump with the standings for everyone see, including non-participants, will be fun.

maybe I can set up a monthly gain/loss with each monthly update.

It sounds like a multi-column spreadsheet is in your near future.

BTW, just to see what would happen, I just submitted a purchase limit order to buy BAC, 1,000 shares at $17.35. I'm curious what the game will do for orders submitted now even though the start date is not until January. It decreased my available purchasing power so it seems like the order is "pended."

ETA: I just found where you can see pending orders and my order is there and shows the 'activation date' is 1/2/15 so it looks like the order will just sit there until then.

ETA2: I just shorted 1,000 shares of XOM, limit order at $95.00 just to see how the system handles a short. It works!!
