Obviously, the same regulations and such don't apply so it is possible that there was some insider stuff going on. As the contest goes on, the variation seems to be picking up a little. I'm still in the black, but only in the top 29%. Dave:

This means 85% are losing money but the lucky few are making a killing. Sounds like real life. I wonder if there is any insider trading or market manipulation possible here?

Mostly because I have it filled about halfway with my actual stocks. =) I’m hoping that I do well in this challenge. Mostly because I have it filled about halfway with my actual stocks. =)
