Trading Idea, June 27: Buy NFLX
|
We’re hooked up with the very smart folks at TradingHistory.com who are providing Survivors with one very good stock trading tip every day.
They scan their enormous historical database of stock prices every day and compare it to patterns that they have observed in the past to make a prediction about one stock. Their accuracy often reaches the 90% level!
It’s really quite elegant and simple. Give it a whirl and then test out their trading ideas with a fantasy stock portfolio!
Player Rankings page re-organized, re-deisgned
We’ve re-calibrated the Player Rankings page to be more personal, more relevant. Now when you arrive, YOU are in the middle of the rankings. We think this is more relevant and allows Survivors the opportunity to get to know their neighbors on the Leaderboards!

New Video Channels

Maximum Shares to Buy
According to the Wall Street Survivor contest rules, players may not hold a single position that is worth more than $25,000. This creates often annoying error messages on the trade page when you attempt to buy more than the $25k limit rule.
So, some smart Survivors suggested that we build a handy-dandy little button called “Max. Shares” that in one click provides the maximum number of shares you can buy for that security. How about that for progress!
We hope to have this ready in June with a more streamlined trade page. See the mock-up below:
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.
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!
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.
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.
