Key things...
1.) Everyone needs to open a Marketcracy account
2.) Read their rules and be compliant.
3.) Join the club

Gah, you already made it before I could.

Also, don't make it OPEN.
Leave it "Closed" please. Anyone who wants to join needs to post their username here.

Also, you might want to edit your OP.
 
I'm in. TheZapper is my name on there. I registered before (on VSE).

If you're doing some other site I'm a slacker and might not sign up.

VSE has too many bugs.
Marketocracy ranks by percentages for the month, quarter, year, and since inception.
It's also shows me how much I'm kicking the Nasdaq, DOW, and S&P 500's butt.

If I join a VSE game a day before close in this kind of market, I automatically win. VSE is so basic and bug ridden that it's not even funny.

Geocentricity got his butt whipped in the last game. Check his performance. 😉

geocentricity got back into the game because of a bug that i found 😛 should've been in the negative returns but got back up somehow

Let's see if I can stay positive this year. Might have to wait until 2010 though for a real upturn. At least I can be happy I didn't put any real money into the markets.
 
I'll play. (SFF, Snail's fun fund)

Hey, I started out with 1mil, is that fair?

And I don't have to buy right now right?
