Troy, I agree with your rule "changes" too. It seems like one could permit two entries on the same stock to start the same day if they were opposite directions (short/long), although that may not be a likely situation. 0 change = 0 points to me too although some times I am happy to just escape alive after a week of trading This week I may wait to see where the market is after Monday after submitting 4 straight weekly losers (twice JBIL!). With my current high cash position I am looking for a downturn as a buying opportunity.

Troy, here are some more rule changes that I think would make our game more interesting. Of course, it would require more work & calculations, so the decision is yours. I like your doubling down (or up) rule. However, I think it should carry consequences, such as doubling of points gained or lost. Also, I think that the same points gained on the upside should be lost on the downside. Weekly winner +3 Weekly loser -3 +0-5% +1 +5-10% +3 +>10% +5 -0-5% -1 -5-10% -3 ->10% -5 This will improve the balance of the game, and increase the consequences of picking a real dog. The game now is heavily weighted towards the upside. Brian
