It might be a good idea to start recruiting other players into the next game. How about the following?

1- The game goes from March 5th (Monday) to June 30th (Friday) So four months.
2- You start with $100, and get to trade on the last weekend of each month. You pay 1% commission on sells, buys are free. Same rules as before.
3- Stocks have to be US listed and trade on either Nasdaq or NYSE, no pinko sheets.
4- You only get to invest long in equities (no shorts, no options), but you can sit in cash if you want to. Same as before.
5- No whining when your stocks decline (Mike McFarland!).

Any other suggestions? One possibility would be that you can only put ~60% of your equity into a single stock, thus making it a portfolio investing game rather than letting someone just pick one stock (although that didn't work too well for Mindmeld last game).

Anyway, if you are interested put in how you would invest your $100 on the weekend of March 4,5 - you get Friday March 3rd closing price as a buy in point.
