TST Virtual Stock Exchange Competition... think you've got what it takes?

This sounds fun for people with more ideas than money... there's a Virtual Stock Exchange where you can set up games to see who can come out on top by investing virtual money in the real stock market. You can buy or sell as often as you like, whatever you think will get you on top. Seemed like something that'd be fun to set up a competition for TST members who are interested in this type of thing.
We can set the game to start at any time, and you can join at any time, but I wanted to post this here first so nobody feels like they're getting a late start. If this gets a decent amt of interest right away we'll start it and anyone interested in joining after can feel free.

website is www.vse.marketwatch.com. its free to register, so take a look around and get your bearings

Some basic info about the game:

Starting cash: $10k (or $100k, what do you prefer?)
Length of game: 2 months (unless members want it to be different)
Private game, password protected
Portfolios are public to all players
Trade Commission: $10

So... who's interested?

what do you think about having the starting cash amount be $10k instead? its a little more realistic i think...

and does the 2 month thing sound good or is that too long or too short? want to give things time to grow buy also dont want people losing interest before its over. we could always set another one up after this one is finished...

ours lasted about that long and was plenty long for things to grow and people made a lot of money, others, not so much. 10k is much more realistic but entertainment value might be less. i think people like to see big numbers but maybe thats just me. maybe a 25k or 50k starting point would be cool? give people opportunities to make a lot of money and also the possibility of losing a lot of money. just my suggestions.

In! I love this stuff!

I say 10k and think 6 months would be best. It allows for more trading styles to compete.

If people are interested I think they would. They stay into other fantasy leagues for longer, this is just a millionaire fantasy league.

i vote for maybe having a grace period for people to research what they'd be interested in buying if they dont already know what they want. again its just a suggestion so if majority leans otherwise then thats cool too.

well you've got 2, or 3, or 6 months until the game ends so you can not make a move right off the bat if you dont want to... or you can buy somethign you know for now and then trade later... its all good.
