Reset (Your Portfolio) Button
 |
We’ve had a lot of requests from Survivors who would like to reset their Portfolios and get back to $100,000.
So, we’ve come up with a handy-dandy RESET button that we hope to roll out in June when we open our new Store. We’re thinking that the first reset would be free, like a Mulligan in golf, and all future resets would be priced around $9.95. There would be no limit to the number of resets available to Survivors.

Price Feed Issues Create Negative Portfolios
We have experienced several 30-60 minute outtages from our stock price feed vendor, Thomson Financial. For the last year, they have provided our Survivors with excellent price quotes, but for some reason it is breaking down.
This problem causes your entire portfolio to suddenly show a negative number (which is impossible) and for all your open positions to show a price of $0.00.
Needless to say, we are urging Thomson to fix this problem as soon as possible. We sincerely apologize for this service interruption and will fill any orders not processed due to there problems.
Classic Dashboard View
The old, beloved Dashboard view that contained a simple table of Open Positions is coming back after an outpouring of love and support for it. It will be an option and it will supplement the new Dashboard views. Expect it to roll out in about 1 week. Here’s a mock up of what it should look like:
We still like the new view on the Dashboard, it’s pretty sweet, too!
New Site, some growing pains
Welcome to the new 2.0 version of Wall Street Survivor. We hope you like all the new features.
If you were playing on the first day, Thursday May 1st, we apologize for the outtage, but we’re back on track now taking thousands of trades every day.
There will be no weekly prize for the first two days of trading (May 1st and 2nd). Good luck Survivors!
Starter Stock Portfolios
What do you do when you don’t know what stocks to buy?
That question inspired us to develop starter stock portfolios: a selection of stocks pre-selected for you so you don’t have to spend a lot of time researching or asking your buddies for Hot stock tips.
For the new contest starting May 1st, everyone will have the opportunity to select one of 3 starter portfolios after registering: Safe, Balanced and Aggressive. Of course, you can still choose to select your own stocks, if you prefer.
MAY 1st. “Get Ready…for a new way to look at trading stocks!!!
We have finally did it! Combining the best of both worlds. As Rory posted earlier the ‘buddy list’ will now allow you to see what your WSS friends are trading and make comments about it on your own wall or their wall. Your profile page will be something familiar yet different. Out with the old and in with the new, our Spring/Summer game let’s you see the market in a fresh new profile page. Take a look for your self.
Buddy Lists
 |
Survivors often mention in the Forums how meeting other people has been one of the best parts of playing the game. Now, we’re going to make it even easier to stay find and stay connected to your Survivor friends.
Introducing Buddy Lists! Now, you can keep a list of your Survivor friends and track their portfolio performance on the Leaderboard! See the preview image to the left as an example of how a Buddy List would be incorporated into the Dashboard.
Another neat feature we included is when you invite your friends to play the game and when they join, they are automatically added to your Buddy list! How great is that?
Survivor Book Store
We’ve had some good discussion about what financial and investing books to read on our Forum. So, we got to thinking: Why don’t we start offering financial books on our site?
The good folks at Traders Library have created our own Survivor Book Store. There are hundreds of books available for prices that are often BELOW Amazon. Make sure you check out the section “Below 50% Off” for some awesome deals.
The store will slowly get integrated into the Education sections of our site like Survivor University where specific books are most relevant.
