Does this allow options?
I did not see anything for it, but thought I would ask.

I used to fish a little, but a little wouldn’t do it, so a little got more and more
14’ of aluminum bolted to 15 horses!
is anyone else having trouble trying to log into the VSE website? it keeps saying there’s been a problem and to go back to the homepage to start over, and keeps repeating that problem every time.

I must have chosen for the site to remember my login because I just click on the link at the top of this post and it takes me there.
We have 15 people now. Game starts Monday when the markets open at 9:30. I will see how the site reports each day’s progress and make a post accordingly.

ok so I see there a few of us placing orders today. I placed limit orders but found that it does take a few minutes for the order to process and was wondering if you guys placed market or limit orders? in real life I ONLY place limit orders, but in this scenario market orders might get filled quicker, since it is not real time.
I will post something this afternoon about the standings and then see how often we need to update things.
thanks to all who have signed up. remember, this is only for fun, but please feel free to email or post here as to how the winner should be rewarded; wings night, beer tab picked up, fishing trip…

I’ve found both of them to be incredibly slow. Why would a market order take 20 minutes to fill? 
true dat…this will be a learning experience for us all. we have 18 players right now and will continue with this game. I think I try to post a daily run-down of rankings as well as good and bad trades. I will leave the topics open to discussion so everyone can chime in. this will be a good learning experience for us all I think.

IF you dont mind rolling the dice just put them in as market orders. I already got burned this morning but thats how this game works.
Skinnee I noticed you have a strong play on Garmin, Did you see the 5 page article in I think it was Time magazine about the company…
One thing this game allows you to do is learn about shorting stocks. I wouldn’t do this with my own money nor would I make a ton of trades in a given day. Having this “play” money makes it fun.
Another thing to watch out for is if you put in an order and it gets rejected pay close attention to the next screen, last time we did this I was trying to short something and would have killed it had the deal gone thru but it got rejected the first time and then when I put it in again I went long on the stock and got burned for just about all of my money…It was fun though

Negative. Do you have a link to the article? Garmin is a great company that has had very steady growth for the past 10 years. 5 years ago nobody had a GPS in their car, now it’s the hottest thing. I just think that GPS in automobiles will be the next iPod.

I typed in “Time Magazine” and “Garmin” in search and got back a lot of hits… Can you give me the gist of it?
quote:1 in 10 cars has a gps in it now, they expect that number to explode. Main competition will be cell phones in the next few years. Its good for consumers since units will be cheaper to own. My siblings and I got my father something like that for his car about 3 xmas's ago and the price of that thing is now 1/3rd what it was.

Thanks CaptFritz, that worked great

Originally posted by skinneejCan we extend this out to a 6 month minimum? 2 months is really kind of short. It would even be better over a 12 month period. You can do a leader board report every month. Sometimes you have to let your trades simmer for a little while…
