Thought it would make a fun game to see who can yield more gain over a given time frame. Kinda like the TV show the biggest loser "That would probably be my hand" but maybe have interested parties invest a flat rate on anything they want and see who moves the most or fastest. Nothing major, small amounts $50 or $100. I have a sharebuilder account I play with, very seldom hit anything worth while.

Thought it would be cool to make a game of, also for those that do well maybe could have some extra cash for the 2008 race season.

Anyone Interestd??

I wish I could but don't have the extra cash right now, I remember playing hte same game back in my economy class back in the day with using a pretend amount and see how you did with it. I actually did pretty well back then and was always interested in the stock market, but haven't had the extra money available to get into it.

So if your interested in some of us playing with fictitious money I'm in. If nothing else it could show you trends in stocks your currently not investing in, the only issue would be if everyone invested in the same stock or similar market segment.

We would make it very simple, one months time. Purchase $X worth and see where it ends up after 30 days. Its the research or your insider info that would win it.

I invest my summer race budget in stocks late fall and sell spring-fall to pay the bills. It my current picks I think I can afford to go to cecil and cecil. I hope a good stock market surge before spring or the V10 will be mighty hungry.
 I'm in. Could try to set  peramater's like 10,000.00 fake money and Now till the friday before cecils race.  for a time period. Need to Pm rich with picks so it's on the up and up. and No changes in stocks after first pick. Roll Eyes  Just like no AMI index changes  Shocked Grin Just a thought. It's Rich's Idea. How about? winner gets a free entry  or Loser's chip in and buy the winners entry?  What you think.

Cliff's way of picking stocks.
 CTB cooper tire  they now own Mickey Thompson
 EXC Exlon  they own Conowingo Dam
 MT m&t bank  my bank
 VZ Verzion  Phone
 WMT wall mart  just because I shop there.
 Or
 HOG, ICE, CAT, I Just like the ticker letter's OR 
 CHS, my name.
  With my way of picking  how could I lose.

Ouch Holley Cry   I love my Hooker Header's also
  beleive it or not I still run to "original" max wedge carter carb's. I do have a 6 pack with 3 holleys I was thinking about putting on the 73 with it "new", Roll Eyes The 4th motor in 20 miles this spring. I had alot of success with the old superbird as a 440 6 pack.  or maybe I'll just sell the stuff and move on. The wagon is all I really need or want in my old age. Grin
