Stock Exchange Game

[EZOP]

Would there be any interest here to get a game going on VSE (Virtual Stock Exchange)?
It is free and pretty interesting to play for green horns or experienced day traders. The game is simple enough and plays off the real market, so it is a great learning tool for those who always wanted to know what it would be like to trade stocks.
I'm presently playing in some groups with other fishing forums and everyone is having a blast and learning.
So I thought I would come here and see if there was an interest for a BFT Game.
Any questions feel free to ask, its basically a fantasy league and it is free.

Setting up a profile is pretty much an e-mail address and a user name, which you use to login in. I haven't been attacked with any spam and stuff. Check it out, look around, read the FAQ's, tell me if your interested enough and I'll set up a game next week.

I find it entertaining and I've learned a bunch about trading that I had no idea about before.

If we could get a few more people involved it makes the competition even more fun. And of course once a game is started, more people usually join.
A game can be set up for a short period like 30 days or several years. 60 days is what I prefer, and people can play it anyway they feel like. As in buy stock and keep them the entire game or day trade, which can get very addicting.

The research tools are pretty cool and the format for keeping track of your stocks, transactions, performance, returns, orders and margins are pretty simple to understand in your portfolio.
The only down fall that I've seen is the system can get slow or give you an error when the trading is hot and heavy, which can cause you to miss a trade. (to many people trading I guess)

But the best part is, it's not your money and you can use a 100K to play the market.
