I've reconsidered about dropping out of our investment game, with a caveat....

I would like to continue to play the investment game referred to in the stickied topic at the top of the Money Board's first page but:

I will voluntarily not sell/cover any stock I buy/short for at least one hour after I make the purchase/short trade.

That way I have no pricing disparity advantage in quickly flipping a position and I get to have fun with buying some things I probably normally would not buy or short. The pricing disparity between my Schwab trading screen's pricing and the game's pricing usually only lasts about a minute or so.

So waiting one hour before I can close a position means the short-lived pricing disparity does not factor into my decision what to buy or short.

I hope everyone is okay with this. If there are a significant number of strong objections to my playing even with the self-imposed trading restriction, I'll just stick with my initial decision to drop out.
