| My wife, Kursten, will also be playing. We are both novices in the stock market, but would like to learn more, so this will be a learning experience for us.

| Ok, just to make sure I get it before we start. We take our "virtural" money and buy real stocks just to see how we do, right?
Like, I could buy some shares of DOW (not that I could), but then I can sell or trade or something?

| any strategy/hints for new players?
obviously, focusing on short term gain instead of long... buy low sell high, but anything that isn't so obvious?

| There are some sites out there that make educated guesses on how a stock is going to open for the day as well as IPO offerings that I usually look at. There aren't too many 'trending' websites out there that are free, so that might be a challenge... |

| I put Neil Cavuto's business show on my DVR schedule, and I might do whatever he tells me to 
that and invest in my own company, cause that is the right thing to do.

I'm in. Man, I haven't done the virtual day trading thing in a long time. I think when we were done, I had like a 3000% return on my original investment.

1 edit | I forgot who it was. Was one of those redneck canadians... Steck maybe? I can't remember the name. He was crushing with some several million odd dollars.
I'm going to see if my method still works. I always told myself if I had that kind of change laying around in real life, and the time, I'd go get myself rich.
Edit: Also glad to see I won't have to deal with those who penny stock flop/reset portfolio.

I might sign up, no guarantees though.
These games REQUIRE that you day-trade to even come close to being successful. I wonder if my OptionsXpress account is still open so I have the real-time quote tracker...
