Edmund's CSX - Game on!

[TinmanMS6]

The Car Stock Exchange (CSX) is a prediction game for new automobiles. Players guess how quickly new cars and trucks will sell in the U.S., and buy the "stocks" representing the models that they expect will sell well. The price of each stock represents the crowds' estimate of unit sales for each vehicle. If you think the stock price of one vehicle is too low, then buy. If you think the stock price is too high, then sell.

Joining the CSX is completely free and involves no real money. When you sign up, you'll receive CSX$1,000,000 to start trading.

I'm signing up now. I think we may have to come up with some way of tracking ourselves here and keep a running competition. I will SO own you bitches!

 

[TinmanMS6]

Everything's overpriced right now. I'm selling everything short. I don't think that anyone understands how this works.

$1 = 1000 cars sold in the first 6 months of sale.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

perhaps its not the lack of understanding, but yet, the lack of giving a s****!

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I'd suggest moving all of your money into*thunk!* WAFFLES! TASTY WAFFLES!

I don't mean the lack of interest here, I'm referring to the prices on the website. The M3 is at $89, indicating that people think that BMW will sell 178,000 M3s in the first 6 months after its release.

I don't get your reference, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that I would think it was funny if I did.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

Which is probably what everyone else is doing, thereby driving up the prices.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

[TinmanMS6]

LOL! What'd you buy? Sell! Sell! Sell!

...but tell me what you're selling first, so I can sell it short.

Have you lost a bunch of money yet? I'm about to break even because people are finally selling some of these.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

[evilmonkeyMSP]

You're going to get hooked! I hope this doesn't end up being addictive, because I'll sit here and watch this thing all day.

Good. I'm short selling the Clubman.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

When did you start? It's been above $500 since I got on. I'm short selling that as well. 1 million Corollas in 6 months? Probably not.
