WANNA PLAY THE STOCK MARKET?

Mike of Eat the Lettuce wants to play a little game:

Objective: The game will begin on 7/12/05 and end on 8/9/05. You have only 5 short weeks to see how many Mike Dollars you can make.

The rules:

1. Start with $5,000.00. You can get into any long position you want. You can buy stocks, bonds, funds, precious metals, bridges from brookland, or whatever floats your boat. You canÂ’t sell anything short and you canÂ’t do the option thing. Even though we are only playing for a short time we are trying to emulate long term investors.

2. After your initial trades you may not make more than 3 trades a week (and thatÂ’s really a lot for someone doing this long term)

3. All trades cost $10.00

4. You can leave it all in cash if you want.

5. Every Friday I will post the standing of every player, htmlified with links. Everyone playing should post these
standings as well.

More details & such at Mike's place.

I'm planning on entering, which should make you all tremble in fear.
