I came really close to winning one of those weeks but too many people had TOOO many freegin' accounts. Tainted rules, bs, I lost interest fast...

there is something going on with the guy thats actually in first place. i guess people were complaining that he was putting in his trades and then trying to pump up the actual security the next day with real money?
a. i dont know how people would know this.

b. i dont see how that would have been possible under the rules since you couldnt buy penny stocks or some shit.

Mary Sue Williams lives with her husband...Mark, who holds a degree in archeology from the University of Arizona, is a cook at a nearby Denny's

Bet this guy is proud:

Dr. John W. Olsen, Department Head of Anthropology, University of Arizona

"Yea, I'd like an Extreme Grand Slam with an extra side of savory sausage links, hold the hash browns."
