So minimum of what? $0.01? I would open up any options that people want.

Hopefully the web interface looks fairly real so I can see the look of horror when I tell my girlfriend I've lost almost a million dollars I'd kept secret that was left to me.
Its actually a pretty neat setup. Lots of options and features that you can use. You'll like it.

What do people think about the dollar amount? I would be okay with $250,000 today because it is more real life than a million bucks. I know, most people don't even have $250,000 to invest, but going down below $100,000 would kinda defeat the purchase of being able to experiment around with stuff.

I'd like to give it a try.

Any amount is fine with me, obviously the lower it is the more fees and such with affect the game. Not necessarily a bad thing, just depends on how you want the game to go.

I'm in, thanks for setting this up!

I'd like to see a lower limit as well, just to allow more speculative stock picks.

250,000 seems about right.

If nobody disagrees with the $250,000 limit, I'll set up the game tonight.

All the other settings we can change afterwards.

I would lower the limit to $0.01 unless the majority want to prevent people from going nuts on penny stocks. $250,000 limit seems fine to me.

I want to play, but I'm not sure I have the time to manage it properly, having trouble just keeping up with my regular trading.

I'd be for lowering the limit from $1. There are quite a few stocks in the $0.30-$1 range that I'd throw in my portfolio and it'd be good to practice with them here.

I'm in. I'll be using the tried and true investing methods of insider trading, market manipulation and ponzi schemes.
