<p>$50K Prize</p>
<p>Anyone else trying this. They don't limit the number of portfolios you can have as long as you create new yahoo accounts for each one. I'm thinking that if I make like 100 accounts and invest in highly volatile penny stocks, I could have at least one portfolio rise quite a bit. The highest person now has barely more than doubled initial fund in four weeks. With my strategy I think I could actually win if it weren't that I'm posting here and other people are now bound to try my strategy.</p>

<p>aw well i wouldn’t do it. ive been prematurely discouraged from investing games pretty convincingly. </p>
<p>but i have take a recent interest to investing - and the black scholes model.</p>
<p>Does Yahoo! allow you to invest in penny stocks without taking liquidity problems into account?</p>
<p>For example, if you buy $5k of a stock that costs a penny, that stock will usually actually cost you 2-3 cents to buy. In the real stock market, the advantages you could gain from volatility of penny stocks are usually lost in the lack of liquidity.</p>
<p>You start with 100k, but they only let you buy things that trade at a dollar or more. Also you can’t have more than 33% of your net worth in a single stock.</p>
<p>I started playing too. So are any of you guys over 18 (that’s a rule to claim prizes.) If not, what’s your plan?</p>
<p>I am going to start doing this too. Seems interesting. Have a good feeling that I will be going bankrupt in this game end up with $0.</p>
<p>Yeah I thought it was pretty interesting too. I lost 12k on day one but…hoping for better.</p>
