do you want to take part in a virtual stock market league?

[reaz]

I am thinking about creating a league in a virtual stock exchange website. We start off with $100,000 and invest over a long period of time (this is in the air). What this does is that it motivates interested members to observe and study the stock market.

Would you potential investors be interested? You can be a long term investor or a day trader.. No real money involved. Just some time and interest.

I havent decided which site. It will most probably be vse.marketwatch.com

I like clearstation but I am trying to find out if they have a league system. Basically the idea of a league introduces some competition and so people will be keen to make more trades and study a bit more.

The money will be pretend dollars ofcourse. Long period of time would mean upto 3 years even. After all the market changes moods so often you dont see results in years some times. All this depends on your marketting strategy.

You will be able to order any stock registered at wall street, that includes mutual funds as well.

[BoO bOo]

rofl, you're only 12, it's ok.


m 17 and half :hand:


i passed my economics class with B+.
i just dont like it

[reaz]

PM me your emails and I'll compile a list and email all of you the necessary information. :)

[larki_jatti]

no you fuckin jew
LMFAO HAHAHAHHAHAHAH

msindhu1@binghamton.edu

How long do you think it would take to get it started?

[metaGlass]

Out of curiosity, what's your motivation in doing this? There are several sites out there for exactly something like this. In fact, I took part in one years ago when I was learning as well.

Btw - www.investopedia.com is a decent place to start for people that are interested in just learning.

[RohanT]

Clearstation doesn't have a VSE League setup.

I'd go with vse.marketplace.com. :)

[hmguy]

hmmm, is this going to be straight equities on major exchanges or will OTC, pink sheet, and option product will be allowed?

i already outlined that it's for fun and education. also it's not like i am creating a site for it. i'll be using one of those sites to create a RD league.

i've used investopedia. lots of info on that site. but the simulator is boring.

[reaz]

straight equities.

[subaru]

straight equities.

[reaz]

the game starts on 21st of march, i.e. this Tuesday and continues till 20th of March next year.

A year should be short enough to keep the users interested. And long enough for long term investors to try out their investing methods.

[AnGel_PyAr]

yea def that would be cool

[Felonius Monk]

i doubt it. you cant really time the market.. you could work on trends and that the best you can do..

and if you are getting insider knowledge, it must be from the companies themselves.. you said you werent affiliated with any particular company.. :P

oh i am not affiliated, but any press briefings need to be approved before they are announds onthe stock market, i may be party to that information.

Yes we get informaion all the time, but acting on it is a different matter.

[bollymastah]

what does avg. volume mean?? and what is EPS and how can it be negative??

[shadab]

what does avg. volume mean?? and what is EPS and how can it be negative??
average volume means how many shares trade on average of that stock per day. eps is earnings per share and it can be negetive if the company lost money during the quarter.
