Remember that lil’ ol’ stock trading game that CNBC [GE] has had on a few previous occasions?

… at least, game-wise (in the CNBC $1M Challenge game).
It looks like, about the same time as my post about the ‘game, Flip is getting back into the action with this third iteration of the game. This will probably be an interesting 10 weeks of twisty-turny nausea (and maybe even a bit of vomiting), so [...]

It’s been a few months already since the close of the infamous CNBC $1,000,000 Challenge game. Remember the last item on Javamancy about the game?
Well…
It’s baaaack!

“Huh? [...]

This is intended to improve collaboration and socialization between LinkedIn users and to draw them onto the CNBC.com portal, while CNBC users can view the goings-on of some of the more active LinkedIn members.

It has been announced today that Donald Trump’s fixer-upper in Palm Beach, FL was sold for $100M to a Russian fertilizer entrepreneur, Dmitry Rybolovlev (yes, he’s a billionaire).
The twist in the story is that Kendra Todd, the hottie winner of Donald’s The Apprentice Season 3, was given the job of renovating the property (acquired by Donald [...]

There were a lot of hiccups early in the history of this year’s CNBC $1M Challenge game, but perhaps the biggest news was the massive stock market collapsing behavior, due to the oil speculating, financial company shenanigans, mortgage market malfeasance, and lack of confidence from investors.

In this unenlightened era of massively escalating gasoline prices and stunted alternative fuel/power research, Vespa is making a bid to re-emerge from its “retro” and “alternate-lifestyle” associations as a viable transportation option for the people.
