>>I guess it is good to be king even for a day. Oh, yes, it is. In the earlier stages of this great game (and before I had to restart -g-) I ran all the way from last to 1st place. It really felt good. >>I don't think 300+k is enough to hold the top position for too long. Only if one can imitate what you did on Friday -g- Seriously, IMO keeping it is harder that making it. Look at GZ's performance - he could have laid back on the laurel wreaths and try evasive or blocking moves- I really thought he had 1st place in his pocket- but his competitive nature drove him to take big virtual positions in a volatile market with no threat to his leadership in sight, to test his skills to the limit. Since I'm using this game to improve my trading skills (money management included) It will probably be very difficult for me to win the competition. I will most probably venture into positions too risky to take in real life, but I could hardly repeat what you did. OTOH keeping on top seems to be the hardest thing to do, so maybe a turtle could overtake the rabbits. Salute ATG
