*Puts on serious glasses* Alright gents.... let´s do this.

lol I havn't got a clue, this should be fun...

At least we've got until Monday to familiarise ourselves. I'll probably just be shooting blind though.

I have no idea what the bloody hell i'm doing but it should be fun

I've joined - should be fun.

Good tip:

Sink your money into banks. They're not making any loses! Especially Northern Rock. Oh yes, very good...

*invests all in oil companies*

*realises he has to wait till Monday*

Joined, just a warning, $1k is quite a small amount to start with, especially when you have a $10 fee every transaction.

Also, it's a good idea to read this:

It'll give you the basics of the stock market.

I set it to a low amount so that people would invest wisely or at least think about what there investing in.

I got this crazy tip on bidets and they're gonna sky rocket! I'll be rich!

Got a good feeling about pharmaceuticals myself.

I´m putting my money on banks.

What is the timescale for this game? I want to know how far ahead I have to plan!

I'm joining, but I doubt I will do very well. I will probably invest in Statoil or any other Norwegian company I can find just for fun ^^

One month.

About those numbers next to the companies in the search box, what do they mean?

Do you mean the "percent change" column?

I'm in! Hopefully just going to copy my real life share portfolio. My bank manager dude does it all for me so if it goes wrong I blame him.

I know nothing about it, but I'll join.

I'm in there, I been doing some research and got a couple of tips.

I'm convinced nobody does. It's probably worse then gambling.

I'm in!

This can only end well!

Thats not true....just because HBOS has access to £600 Billion and so are in a really safe position, but asked for £4 Billion from their share holders, which will make such a big difference doesn't mean anything significant....

Wait....

Thought id jump on the band wagon! Although I have no idea what im doing, should be an interesting one

I never participate in forum games, so thought I would join in this time!

I'm in for this
