August 2006 Trading Simulator contest - First Prize $100.00
I have set up another trading simulator for August - 1st prize is $100, 2nd and 3rd prizes are trading books.
If you already played in previous competitions, you already have an account and your can just continue trading, your portfolio has been set to $100,000. If you are new to the simulator, you can join at anytime up to August 23. You must use the same username as you use here. This thread will be used to discuss the game and post updates on the standings. You start with $100,000 and you can trade stocks long or short. We are not trading options anymore, as they made the results swing wildly both ways. Whoever has the highest amount at the close of trading on July 31, 2006 wins. The trading simulator/contest is open only to registered members of this forum. Send me a private message and I will send you the link for your free sign up. |

Re: August 2006 Trading Simulator contest - First Prize $100.00
CYBX might be a good play for today.. it gapped down and its down 23% or whatever right now
if you can nail a short term bottom on that, you can probably scalp 5% or so from it at some point, just on a bounce |

The simulator won't let me trade stocks! It is saying the game is expired.

Re: August 2006 Trading Simulator contest - First Prize $100.00
Sorry guys, I have been trying to take care of things while on vacation. Just got back home. And now I remember that I fell asleep last night while updating the contest for August. It is fixed now and the contest is officially on for August. (Starting August 2! - and that is for everyone)
