Last time I played this game was in Grade 2 when our teachers wanted to teach us the concepts of investment.

1. Create a portfolio of stocks. You can have up to 10 stocks picked out, less is fine obviously. Plz don't pick more than 10 for the sake of time.

2. Gains are based from a % viewpoint only. You may include dividends on a compounded basis.

3. Your overall gain will be calculated from the average % win/loss of your stocks at the end of each Friday. Each of your picks will have equal weight. Go ahead and pick penny stocks or Royal Dutch Shell if you so desire. The % win/loss is based on the book value of your stocks (what you entered at).

4. People can join whenever, but you may not sell your stocks. When you declare a portfolio, it will only be effective at the open of the market the next day (at that price). Choose wisely. You must declare the price at which you enter.

5. Plz don't bother lying about gains/losses. It's not hard to track. People can have the same stocks.

6. At market close each Friday, a new winner for that week will be declared (again, based from the book value POV)
