Are there still cash prizes at the end of each month??
I haven't seen the owner of the site on here in a long time. |

I have 20/12 vision, and I haven't either.
Cash prizes disappeared months ago. By my count, JRW owes at least $250. |

Well, then let's play for love of the sport
The absence of price isn't the main problem here. The problem is the traffic, which have decreased in the last months. I hope this forum don't die by absence of users. |

If there wuz enuff intrest we could have a mumphly competition for say $50 bux. We simply play by the honor system. Here's how it werks. Let's say there is 6 playas. At the beginning of each mumph we make a pick for the mumph based on the opening price for the foist day ov trading. At the end of the mumph (based on the mumphs closing price), the werst performer buys the best performer $50 ov whatever they want....jist put it on da chaaaawge cawd. The rest ov da playas git a free ride. Soooo, even ifn ya sucked at pickin stocks.... or you were down right unlucky ...it means you can still play! So yes!...yer welcome too Jinxie!...and ov course Damon cud take TASR or CROX each n evree mumph cause "eventually" they will hit bottom!  |

It's not like you were going to win $1000 prize or something that would matter anyway. We should all be happy that it doesn't cost money to join this site. Funny things is, more people would probably join this site if they had to pay a members fee. Its a common perception that if something costs you money then it must be worth it or more valuable
Maybe this site should charge a members fee to fund the prizes. It would give this site a competitive tone and add some excitement.
Cheers. |

You're a 100% Right.  |
I wonder if there is some sort of legal ramifications to promising a cash prize and not paying it? check out this link...

Hi guys, Ben here...this old account used to be my brothers. The Benjamin account is closed I believe.
Anyway, the site does seem to be dying...I wonder if we could buy it back. Anyone interested?  |
