I think zeros guarantee the rate throughout the term, if you invest a certain amount you are guaranteed your principal plus the interest earned because of the rate at the time of purchase, I don't believe there are any other bonds that guarantee your principal if that's what you mean by risk, I say zeros for the interesting little competition, even though I am clueless about bonds and bills in general.
Contests for estree Ebucks would be fun! how about we start a board where you make a pick each weekend?, the one who shows the best gain for the next trading week gets $2000, $1000 for second, $500 for third! we can run it at the "how low will it go" board, maybe even play the penny dawgs, when a penny dawg runs it sometimes moves 50%+ in a week! everybody could go WOW! maybe they'll get excited enough to test their skills, and the good players earn mo Ebucks! pretty kewel idea huh? ahhhhh......never mind  |

I need to remain neutral, even picking stocks at random. 
If you want to pick the stock I'll back it up with the e$.
Feel free to start a thread.  |

| Thanks Mr EIA, I'll come up with some rules and try and keep it simple, I'll work on it over the weekend, we might need you to arbitrate a dispute regarding the price of a stock or something like that, you'd be there to verify if the price was valid acording to what the EI trading simulator says, you would be the keeper of da sim! a very important job indeed, award yerself another 500000 Ebucks please |
