Game starts tomorrow.
You can place your orders at any time prior to the start
Good luck

Looks like I'm a day late and a dollar short...
Would anyone have been disqualified for having a real, live portfolio?

you need to audit the tool...it reeks...
it inexplicably adds money (or takes it away in my case) to your account...I have an individual account and it added 300k to my account for no apparent reason every couple of days for like a week...and in the group game it socked me for a 100k again for no apparent reason...check out john and jsherry's accounts, it just doesn't add up...

I know I was using my margin to place orders, but it's not showing up in the summary. I wonder if it'll figure that in when the day is up and the contest ends

I'll have to look into the discrepancies. I have an individual account that just seems to keep multiplying as well, and I have very little cash reserve

look at jsherry's account...
4 transactions - Net loss on those transactions of (-46,170K) and Interest earned of 236.0, yet the balance of his acct = 624,575.84 ...
must be the new math. kind of reminds me of congress trying to balance the budget

I wonder if that is a daily balance, because Target did fairly well, i think. But since that is my account we're talking about, i'm completely confused, too.

no biggie, pug...it was all in fun...i've just been confused because the numbers in the accts just don't seem to add up...but it's still kind of fun to play...
just think we should search for another simulation site...and maybe keep the contest going for a longer period... (i.e., more reflective of the way we might invest in real life....)
