How do I check which stocks I have if I forgot?
Do you remember your investor ID?
I think so 2

neat experiment continues to be neat.
1. Is your standard article now misleading? It now appears that the "rumours" and fictional events may affect stock price in some ambiguous way unrelated to the mathematical formula previously used. This should be explained and it is increasingly obvious that the market's promoters should have no ability to invest. They will have inside information, and ability to manipulate stock price through purchase/sale and "events".
2. Very brief review of stock holdings raises issues of accuracy. For instance the total stock holdings of CyberSecurity -- on May 4 reported to be 3740; add the 1495 shares bought since then to arrive at 5235. There should be no more than 5235 shares owned by all investors. However, the portfolios report 6775 shares owned, a variance of 1540 shares (magically appearing?). That is pretty important if the value of shares is directly related to how many exist.
3. What is going on with the accounts that were banned? Did you pay them out or are you confiscating their money? What the heck is up with the account you show as being frozen pending Homeland Security investigation???? Are we changing/modifying/clarifying the rules again to accept money only from eAmericans?
Neat experiment.
1. I'll add more to the FAQ as I continue, but the rumors correlate to random factors. It's as simple as a dice roll on an announced stock. If people want the dice roll, they go for it. If not, then they can wait two openings. Nobody knows in advance.
2. I'll look into this. I appreciate you showing me. I think it might correlate to the banned accounts.
3. We announced that you could not multi in order to go past the investing limit. Some people chose to continue to do that, so they were banned. One account raised a red flag as a PTO member, so their account has been frozen while I get more information. If they were simply from another country it would be fine, but these are active enemies of the eUS.
Yeah, I've tapped out for the moment. 1. random events are not investment worthy. 2. the maximum purchase/sale is prohibitive to wise investing.
It's been fun, but I need to enjoy just watching for now. Apparently most others are too based upon actual purchases of late.
we shoould play the famous game therory monetary game 🙂
