Hey, I started out with 1mil, is that fair?

And I don't have to buy right now right?

Yes.
No one should complain about being unable to buy any BRK.A shares.

Let me get this straight, you can't have a long AND short fund, you have to choose one or the other?

hmm noticed that this is a sim for running a mutual fund, not just day trading stocks. These compliance rules are annoying. <10% in any one stock, 65% invested but not more than 75%. So you have to hold at least 7 stocks.

I'm in as Ultimatebob.

Hmm...I actually like the rules.
Feel free to day trade if you want, but make sure your fund is compliant.

*EDIT*
Ultimatebob, you're invited.

the compliance rules are annoying, but you only have to follow them for the majority of the quarter. people shouldnt really be holding onto one or two stocks for the majority of the game anyway. if you had 1 million dollars to invest, surely you'd put it into more than 7 stocks

 

[gotsmack]

I'm in Name is : Gotsmack. my fund symbol is GOT

 

[ArJuN]

Can you add me please?

Its under Arjun.

*Hot Tip*

To change your fund's ticker symbol, go to "My funds", "XXX"(whatever your current ticker symbol is), "Admin".

There are too many people using their default "*MF" symbol.
Try to be a little more creative. You can use up to 5 letters.

xSauronx's "XSX" is the most creative symbol so far IMO.


*EDIT*
Gotsmack, Theopetro, and Arjun you're invited.

Psh. I read everybody's fun descriptions and they all suck compared to the zombie fund.

Up to you really. I'd go long if I were you.
This will be a continuous game (meaning we won't make it expire).

There wont be a "2010/2011/2012 Virtual Stock Exchange" thread. This is it.
