As we roll into the wee hours of Day 2, here’s a look at the first day’s results.

The rage was tacos, thanks to CB’s investments in taco stocks, propelling him to the top of the boards early yesterday. However, tacos cooled off and SXT’s investments showed strength.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are middling right around where we started from. Myself on the other hand, I diversified quite a bit, which ate me up in commission fees. Which is what those of us at the bottom of the board are waiting to bounce back from I’d imagine.

Saw you jumped on the CAT band wagon. Your stock tickers say TACOCAT

CB > Sweet Trav
04/25/2017 at 10:43

I sold both since they seem to be pretty high compared to average. Gonna wait for them to cool off before I buy more TACOCAT.

I just put a stop order on CAT when it noses over.

Good plan. I should learn how this works.

So it automatically sells when stock prices decline?

I joined for the hell of it. I did last years year-long one, but I honestly forgot about it about 2 months in. I wish I could know where I ended up, but apparently Marketwatch doesn’t give me history of the games I’ve played previously. Damn.

If he can invest in Tacos I can invest in Beer!

So far it is going up!

I am gonna go home and drink more Sam Adams to help the cause.

That’s one of the reasons I kept the game one month long.

It’d be nice to play a year long game, but that takes dedication because after a while there is nothing to do as there’s only a few strategies that win out in the long term.

I ended up managing to find the stats from the old game. What the hell did you do to end up with 600k? It looks like you sold a penny stock at just the right time. What was it trading at when you dumped it, if you know?

That stock was trading at such a tiny value I honestly couldn’t tell. It was like .00015 or something.

But I learned a couple important things playing that game - especially with penny stocks and companies with minuscule, chump change market caps. That stock I was messing with was a company that didn’t have any more than a couple hundred shares traded each week, and I was dealing with millions of shares in volume. Its market cap was $15k or something.

Which exposed a bug/shortcoming of the game itself, not accounting for how many shares were outstanding for each company. That’s why I banned stocks that cost less than $2 in this game, so there aren’t any unrealistic trades taking place without realizing it.
