motdrahcir and bear are my coworkers. We were 1, 2, 3 for a good portion of the final months. I'll ask them to join again, but the only one with actual experience trading real money is bear. I think he just uses this game to mess around with huge sums of money.

Yeah you guys were ahead of me pretty much the entire time. I was always trying to break the top 5 (Usually around 4th place to 7th place). Managed to finish 4th place. Hopefully I can do better this time around
 
While I didn't do too hot in the 2007 ATOT game, I did finish in 6th place out of 292 in another game (Real Traders) that ended at the same time.

I'll take another stab at it.

Yes. 🙁
I learned that when I tried to buy NTDOY last year.
I can assure you I might have even been Rank #1 instead of #3 because I planned to buy NTDOY when it was still hoovering at $33/share making it a 25% stake of my portfolio.

For anyone who wants to verify, it's still on my "order" records for the last VSE game with the date and everything.

Buying US stocks is quite boring to say the least - you're not going to make any serious gains.

Stocks, not funds.
 
In. Going for glory or shame by buying UA and CROX at the mrkt. Of course in real life, no way, not paid to be that brave. MO ftw
 
The game ID is case sensitive, fyi. 😛

I remember playing one of these stock trading games a long time ago, should be fun!
