The Stock Market Game...

I'd probably fail, but I think it'd be interesting. I'd play.

I figure I'm kick ass in Drug Wars I will be good in the stock market.

Sounds like a sailing simulator. You put on raingear, hop in a cold shower, and drop money down the drain.

We used a news paper.

I'm only down 39%. But I agree, its more fun with real money.

I played this game in 5th grade in the district competition. I think my group got around 120th place of around 500-700 groups. We invested in apple and google or something like that and kicked ass!

I would play, but agree we need some electronic tracking system.

I would prefer to trade currencies.

Really, even if you are down 39%-49%. How weird is it of me, to actually not like losing money?

I'm only down about 5% on my biggest account. I pay a nominal fee to have it actively managed.

Sometimes I wonder how many people know that such services exist and paying for good advice used to be the norm? As a nation we got kind of on a gambling high during the dot.com boom and the introduction of do-it-yourself trading. Perhaps it's better to pay experts to manage money and leave the DIY stuff to making birdhouses and painting.
