Does anyone here participate in Marketocracy? It is a site that allow members to create a simulated mutual fund (and requires the same compliance requirements that the SEC puts on real mutual funds) and creates a real mutual fund from the top 100 performers (and pays those top 100 performers). I've been doing it since September or so... here is my fund's page:

http://marketocracy.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Portfolio.woa/ps/FundPublicPage/source=LfFlEhChEbFaDaDjMaKiAbDc

Sign up if that is your bag... its pretty cool... maybe we could start up an FSP club (they support Clubs to compare your performance against friends, etc).

That sounds like fun...I'm up for it

[ducks]

I should have bought zica last month

it was 2.66 now it went as high as 5.40 today :depressed :depressed

[MannyIsGod]

What do we get if we kick the economists ass?

[Yonivore]

Count me in scott.

[scott]

I'm an economist Manny, not a Fund Manager. You get nothing more than the satisfaction of knowing you are a better stock picker than me. My annualized 82% return might be a tough cookie to overcome though. :)

I'll set up a club and post the details in this thread for anyone who is interested.

[scott]

Okay... I created the club... it's called FSP Stock Gurus. I don't think there is anything special to do aside from finding it and choosing to join. Let me know if you have any questions/issues.

[MannyIsGod]

I'll join later tonight. It's on biznatch

[scott]

Well, it's 18 months later and only Yonivore bothered to set up a fund.

Yoni is up a whopping 6% since the inception of his fund...

Meanwhile... I am up nearly 70% and was just recently named to the m100 for the forth consecutive month. My check for the second quarter of 2006 will be in the mail shortly. :)

[MannyIsGod]

Damn, I forgot all about this.

[Das Texan]

I just created my account, I will work on this over the weekend and it should be up and running by Monday.


Could be fun.

[TDMVPDPOY]

theres a similar comp also in australia on the asx for mainly students and ppl tryin out the market, you can win 5k i think.

[Nbadan]

Shit scott, you should be a porfolio manager with your annualized returns

[MannyIsGod]

No shit, thats really impressive.

[BIG IRISH]

No shit, thats really impressive.
Your soooo easy to impress, why don't you invest that $20.00

[MannyIsGod]

Your soooo easy to impress, why don't you invest that $20.00
you won playing poker?? :lolWhat a genius and novel idea.

[BIG IRISH]

What a genius...

Thank You, You always were such a nice kid :lol

[2centsworth]

for the hell of it I set-up an account. No way in hell I'm spending the time required to do it right, but took about an hour to invest 1mil.

[scott]

If you're so smart, why don't you play for real money?

Thanks kris, I never thought of that. All this time I've been investing my paycheck in gumdrops and rainbows.

[spurschick]

Thanks kris, I never thought of that. All this time I've been investing my paycheck in gumdrops and rainbows.

Is that the Teletubby Fund?

[scott]

If you set up a fund, don't forget to join the FSP club I set up.

[Das Texan]

you better accept my fucking application scott.


great first day for me being down basically 1.5%.


hooray!

[scott]

Of course I'll accept... I tried to set it up where it doesn't even need my approval, but for some reason it didn't work.

[Nbadan]

Can you say insider trading? Scott has a whopping 41% of his assets in energy.

:lol

[Spurminator]

This could be fun. I'll set one up later.

[TDMVPDPOY]

okay i join up then

You realize that they will sell your email address to spammers that will inundate you with "hot" tips on stock, right? Best to get some freemail addy, like a yahoo account or something and use that for any web-registration where you aren't 1000% sure about their creds.

Internet security warning aside, this does sound a bit fun. I will fire up my darts and beat all yer asses. :angel

I've been signed up with my work email address for over 2 years, and haven't gotten a single article of spam. The only thing I've gotten from them is checks the last two quarters for being in the m100.

[Das Texan]

hey scott....


you never accepted my invite into the fsp stock market group!

[Das Texan]

btw...


my fund is doing pretty well, thanks to my two biggest holdings, as I have out performed 98.4% of all other funds on there.


I should have this as my IRA instead of my real IRA.


:lol

[Xolotl]

I've always wanted to learn about the stock market and investing in general, does anybody know of a good site that I can just read up on noob information and basic stuff for free would be awesome haha

[TDMVPDPOY]

i play fsx on facebook, played last week with 10mill base, ended up makin like 660k for two days, then all of a sudden the trickle effect of the stockmarket destroyed me...

Dang, I had forgotten all about this.

Funny thing is that I have coincidentally started my own pretend portfolio as a practice run for my IRA

Mmm sample music.

[RandomGuy]

Hmm, started a fund, but the suck thing is that it seems to be limited to US stocks.

It also doesn't seem to allow for US treasuries or bonds.

That would make the fund a bit riskier than I would do with my own money, but I will muddle through.

It is always fun to bypass network blocking software. It allows embedded youtube videos but blocks direct access. whoot.

I was looking to invest in foreign companies directly in the foreign home exchanges.

[RandomGuy]

The site also seems to limit trades to NYSE, AMEX and the other major indexes.

No pinksheets for good foreign companies. :(
