Do you Feel like you’re Swimming with Sharks?
We’ve noticed that many Survivors feel like they can’t win prizes* and compete with our top players like GoMaxGo and Dojimon. We see comments like, “I can’t ever beat those sharks.” That may be true, but we’re thinking of ways to make the game experience better for everyone.
So, we’re toying with the idea of breaking the contest into groups based upon past performance in the Permanent Portfolio. It would go something like this: after having played the game for 30 days, everyone would get a handicap (like in golf) and be placed into a playing group, or league, of their relative peers. That way, you would be competing for prizes against Survivors of relatively the same skill level. And the contest would never end. Prizes would be awarded on a regular basis like Monthly and Weekly.
Of course, not all groups, or leagues, would be created equally. The League for GoMaxGo and Survivor would be the top league and they would compete for the biggest prizes. But anyone, with determination and learning, could eventually move up into the top league where the big boys play.
How does that sound, Survivors?
*In the last Survivor survey, an overwhelming majority of Survivors (89%) said they preferred more prizes of lesser value rather than fewer prizes of greater value.

I think those sound like some interesting ideas. I’ve enjoyed the experience whether I win anything or not. I have made a couple of good friends here as well.
I like the idea. Although I am not currently in that league, sounds great to me !!!
sharks,Its more like i m in here wading with some guppies,rather than sharks!!! I have nevver ever traded for real,but from whaat I learned from my father;over the years.It has paid off in the real world. I am in three different contests,becauser of what he taught me
Good deal Mike.
WTG, sounds great to give everybody somewhat of an equal shot atr winning.
Keep up the good work and maybe I’ll make the list someday !!!
I remember from college an economics class some stocks information presented by our instructor. I wish I could tell him I went on into this game to learn more of the markets operations. I received an A on my term paper, “Psychological Aspects of Advertising” which you can see today in the treatments of commercials. Still, I think that cooking is one item made best from scratch at home using best ingredients and getting omissions of hydrogenated food stuffs which harms the heart. Instead of making food stuffs appear so quick and easy, especially to the young and newly married, I wish such advertising would be a bit meatier with some scientific
facts as to how best treat your body rather than the quick and fast fixes. Such thoughts as mentioned stir the economy making the stock market as it is with all its entities comprising the market.
