In case you happen to be gullible, we should let you know that the chipmunk does not actually pick the stocks.

And if you're still interested, here are the rules:

  • Each "portfolio" (and I use that term loosly) starts with some chunk of cash
  • After every market close the game runs, hopefully only once
  • Unless out of cash, each portfolio will always have at least 1 share
  • Each portfolio will contain only one company's stock
  • Each portfolio will buy as many shares as it can, minus commissions
  • When selling, the porfolio must sell all the shares it has
  • Every day, each portfolio is evaluated as to whether to sell or not
  • The decision to sell can be one of the following methods:

  • Random Sell: The portfolio has a percent chance that it will sell

  • Gain/Loss Sell: The portfolio evaluates the current price and decides to sell if it has increase or decreased by a specified percentage (before comissions) since purchase.
  • That's it, not too difficult. Enjoy and visit our "sponsors"!
