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

Mark Berger — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 23:10:34 +0000

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 Research Pages

Mark Berger — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:23:36 +0000

In our effort to provide Survivors with research tools on par with Yahoo! Finance, Google Finance or any other web site, we have added three new Research pages:

Financials show valuable stats like Price/Book, Price/Earnings, Return on Equity, Profit Margin and many others. In addition, you can see the latest Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Cash Flow for a company on a quarterly and Annual basis.

The Company News Releases are the latest happenings like earnings reports and new product announcements.

The Technical Analysis page is great to see what the technical indicators are saying to do: Buy or Sell? There are Price Indicators, Volume Indicators and Trend Indicators all providing their signals to help you, dear Survivor, make sense of the market and develop your own trading style.

Maximum Shares to Buy

Mark Berger — Thu, 22 May 2008 15:53:45 +0000

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

Mark Berger — Thu, 15 May 2008 20:37:56 +0000

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.
