WSO Summer Stock Trading Game

Hey guys, the last stock trading game we had was pretty successful (about 20 players) so I decided to create a summer game that will go from June 1 - September 3

Great thing about this game is that the "broker" doesn't have to actually locate the Facebook shares to short. It's like playing a FPS with invulnerability mode on.

 

ride that VIX boys gonna be a bumpy week yeeeeehawwww

Here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, you are the sucker.
 
AndrewKJI'm in. Interested to see how it goes! Thinking of going 100% long on $FB, what do you guys think?

Intriguing (defensible?) strategy if the timeline for this game were 2 years.

Terrible strategy for this particular game.

Good luck all the same.

Is anybody else having trouble trading stocks? Like, order them, then order just isn't there?
