As you all in the stock trading game know Bonzo is out of it $1,000,000.00 in the hole with no stocks. He started this game and continues to manage it for another 8 months. Kinda boring for him ! I say let him start a new account with $100,000.00 and play. I’m the the only one close to him and that margin is over $1,000,000.00. If his new account at the end of the year is $500,000.00 his is still $500,00.00 in the hole…no threat to anyone
I say NO. Not to be a dick just because he(BONZO) was so adamant about the game lasting awhile. I told him it should only last a couple of months because people will lose interest. Its not our fault he lost his 1 million plus and extra million. He made this bed, so therefore he should have to watch this game until it ends. It started as a 2 month game and then went to a year and then finally settled on ending at the end of this year…
He took the bait like a jugbelly redfish on an olive and white clouser.
Sure, there is no way he will even come close to building back up to $1M from 100K. If he coudl do that he wouldn’t have been in this position to begin with!

Fritz, I have explained this before…I asked for input on how long the players wanted the game to last. They voted and I made it to suit the majority. My tactics would not have changed whether this game was 2 months or 12. Thanks for the input on whether to let me “back in the game” or not. I will do what the majority of those who voice an opinion want me to do. Either way, I started this game with a promise to keep up with the players and positions, regardless of whether I am in it or not. To be honest, I think it would be neat to see different players create multiple accounts and try investing or trading with different strategies.
And JDM, yes, I will buy the first round of drinks when we finally choose a when and where to meet…any suggestions? someplace with good drink specials and a little side area where I can “hold court.”
Whats it matter, its fantasy stock trading. NO matter what happens we all know he is negative 1 million dollars. go ahead and start up 5 more accounts.

Exactly. He'll probably turn the next 100K into -200K in a couple of months! :smiley:
Give him all he needs … I am just trying to stay afloat and am learning from the game a little bit. Getting increasingly frustrated with the “lag” in the VSE system. Had to stay in bed for a few days (threw my back out on Saturday) and wanted to play around a little bit more… kinda hard if your orders are not processed for hours at a time … still having fun (as they say at Gerald’s)
Bonzo this topic about your NEW account has been out here for 1 week now no one has said “hell no” so I say go ahead and start a new one …and return to playing…If you want some stock advise I say buy FRPT and WB
hee hee, I like the stock picks Capt Ed. I thought I would start out with a nice selection of BSC stock though…ouch!
Seriously, I appreciate the offer and I might just take you up on it. Life has been getting in the way of my monitoring of the stock game lately, but I will continue to keep up with it as much as possible.
