Stock Market Game
 

Hello everyone,

Little story first.

A friend of mine wanted to become a day trader. He asked me if I could help him as I used to be a stock broker. So I asked him if he knew anything about buying and selling stocks, well he didn't. I didn't go into the details so I set up a game for the both of us to play. Now, I waited for the perfect timing as the stocks were on a free fall (Did a little research on past down market). We decided to use $1,000,000.00 to start with. So I went on to buy some stock and didn't much care which one it was and he went on to buy what ever he thought was good. A few other people joined as well. At one point I was in last place with less then $450,000.00 and they were all making fun of me, but being patient in a down market is crucial so I waited. Now my friend is in last place and everybody seemed to have lost interest in the game :lol:. Little do they know, things have gotten a little better now. I went from less then $450,000.00 to over $7,000,000.00 in less then a year :yipi:. If anyone wants to join the game here is the site:

Lutach, is that you? No offense, but that doesn't "sound" like you. :neutral:

It's me. Just thought I woud let more people know as most of the ones playing the game is not active. Join and have fun.

I used to be a stock broker before 9/11. After 9/11, I decided to stick with just electronic components.

Ahh I see. So is the game based on real-life stock performance?

Yes. Only downside are a few bugs from time to time and a 15 minutes delay. Join up, who knows you or someone else will surpass me.

I forgot to mention, don't mind my Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc stocks, I'm going to get the most shares I can just for the hell of it :lol:. I'm also the proud owner of 10 BRK.A shares (Bought each share for $100,350.00) :rofl:.

What's the game-ID for your game?

Game ID: Brasilian
Password: Corinthians

its asking for a game Id not a name

Ok, try this.

The game name is: Brasilian Power Brokers
The game ID is: Brasilian
The game password is: Corinthians

It's case sensitive so it has to be exactly as you see it above.

Edit: I just typed in Brasilian where it asked to and it went straight to the game.

Oh duh I thought that was your login! :slap:

Thanks!

:lol: No, it's the games login :lol:. I hope to see more people join soon. Maybe someone is very knowledgeable about the stock market nowadays.

Hey I found it and "joined' but when I click "make a trade" it says I'm not playing in any games. ???

The good thing about this game is the fact that if you have any insider tip, you can buy or sell without getting in trouble :rofl:. What you buying :whistle:?
