Title: Celebdaq aka Stock Market Game for dummies :) Post by: Claw75 on September 02, 2008, 04:50:09 PM I've set up on a blonde league on Celebdaq. For those who don't know what Celebdaq is about, the following is copied from the site and explains the basics:
CELEBDAQ is a celebrity stock exchange game. Instead of shares in companies you buy shares in celebrities. To play you have to sign up. Once you're signed up we'll give you a cool ten thousand pounds (that's Celebdaq pounds, not real cash!). The aim of the game: to make as much profit as you can by buying and selling 'shares' in listed celebrities. The person with the highest weekly percentage gain is crowned Top Trader. HOW CAN YOU MAKE MONEY? 1) Dividends: Every day we count how much press coverage each celeb gets. Then on Friday the shares you own will pay out a dividend, depending on how much press coverage those celebrities received. The more press coverage a celeb gets, the more money you make. To get the full pay-out you have to own the celeb from Monday to Friday. 2) Capital Gains: Just like in the real world, share prices rise and fall as demand for them changes - so as well as receiving dividends, you can make money by day-trading and buying low (when demand for a specific celeb is low) and selling high (as the celeb gets more press coverage and the demand for them increases). Prices are updated every 20 minutes so you can make or lose money on a celeb very quickly. If you fancy joining the blonde league, sign up for an account, then let me know either on this thread or via PM your user ID number (which can be found on your portfolio page) and I'll get you added :)up www.bbc.co.uk/celebdaq Title: Re: Celebdaq aka Stock Market Game for dummies :) Post by: Graham C on September 02, 2008, 04:59:35 PM Didn't realise this was still going, it started years ago.
