Can't please all the people all the time.
Until I started up this game a couple of years ago, we had no city-data stock market game.
Maybe he wants to start up another game with a different set of rules.

That’s a pretty stupid game imo. There are only a handful of good buys at a given time at most, so forcing you to buy 15 stocks is weird to me.

GBTC was a gamble plain and simple, it could still go up, but I sold my actual position as it was crashing. For me this was a momentum play that was working at first then crashed lol.

I made a little money but not much. I doubled my money in two weeks, and like a dummy, I didn't cash out. Oh well. You live and you learn.
