| Is the reason my portfolio was liquidated due to it being the first of the month and everyone starts over again? Or was there just a glitch? |

We did liquidate the portfolio's for the start of this month.
We did this in order to implement the new trading rules of:
-All stock symbols with a . in them will be invalid.
-You can no longer buy stocks that are priced below $2 per share.
A fresh month and a fresh competition. |

Currently the Rankings (and main page) are shoing results incorrectly. Everyone was reset and is at 0.
The problem is in the reporting for those pages.
Hope to have it fixed soon. I want to see all 0's! |

Sorry chahsiubow...hopefully we'll never have to reset it again though.
If anything the field of players will be smaller since everyone needs to buy at least 1 stock to have a shot (unless everyone is in the red and everyone with 0% wins ). I think a lot of users won't come back and at least get in the game. |

I'm sure that if you would try trading with pennies in real life, the shine would wear off them very quickly.  |

Well that's part of the risk factor. I don't trade in reality since I have neither the capital or know-how (nor stomach for loss), but it's fun seeing your imaginary penny stock go up a few pennies.  |

I think this way is a lot more fair however, so that you don't see like a 400% increase on a penny stock.
