this might be a repost.

HSX is just like the real stock market, only way more fun!
Buy shares of your favorite actors and their new movies. Watch their values rise or fall based on their success. Prices soar with a blockbuster opening at the box office and plummet with a bomb no one went to see.

a guy at work showed me this. when you sign up they give a couple million to trade with. you can buy shares of moviestocks, starbonds (based on individual stars), funds (indexes of genres, production companies, etc). its pretty fun, and the best part is if you sign up I get 100 thousand fake dollars

clicky

This is something I suggested we do with VVers instead. If there was a trading game add-on for phpBB, it would be a fun way to use VV's. I don't think the add-on exists though.

Stephen Baldwin was making the press rounds promoting this a couple years ago when it was first put forth. I had forgotten about it since then until just now.

no, it was right after. cause during the HSX publicity rounds he was going on about jesus...which is probably why I never checked the thing out.

Lol, i havent been visiting HSX for years, just took a look at my account (after having to tell my antivirus program that its ok to allow me to see the page, it listed it as spyware site, and guess its right, got a popup that got blocked just after i added it to the safe list. Guess their banner advertisements need a check)
My main account are doing VERY well, with a 20.15% increase this year, and a total net worth of 160,934,606.53$

My secondary account sucks, its only at 125,730,991.37$, but a 22.13% increase this year.
