Remember that lil’ ol’ stock trading game that CNBC [GE] has had on a few previous occasions?
Well, it’s baaaack, starting today!
Earlier, I’d mentioned that Flip is already ramping up his blog to handle the new game; with the new rules, he’s devised a new system for crowdsourcing, hopefully to get some readers into the winners’ [...]

… 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 [...]

In light of Apple’s [AAPL] fantastic reported performance in the last quarter, a lot of financial analysts have grumbled about the huge warchest that Steve & Co. are sitting on and why it hasn’t been been used to buttress the stock value against the hordes of crazed speculators and economic downturn volatility.
Here’s an example: Jim [...]

Today’s date, back in 1929, marked the big escalation of the Wall Street collapse that occurred at the beginning of the Great Depression (and depending on whom you ask, it may have been the cause of the Great Depression).
Of course, the problem was not actually a single-day event. It actually kept going onto the next [...]

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!
You can sign up now to get ready for the action, which starts November 17, 2008. At this time, the currency trading part of the game is playable in demo [...]

Today, combined with the continued upswing of the U.S. stock market, comes the release of THQ’s [THQI] second installment of the Saints Row series, Saints Row 2 (SR2).
It will be interesting to see whether any of the tips I mentioned about the first Saints Row game will still be usable (and transferable wholesale) in SR2. [...]

Today (October 13) is the date reserved in the U.S. for observance of Columbus Day this year.
It’s one of those odd holidays where some things are closed (many federal agencies) while plenty of other things are still open (like the U.S. stock exchanges).
This year, it has been quite momentous because of the massive downward spiral [...]

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.
Today is the penultimate day of the CNBC stock trading [...]

Uh-oh! Is there egregious, rampant cheating in the CNBC $1M Challenge?
That’s what a lot of players would like to know, including Flip. In fact, Flip made a note of it today on his blog! He presents his case and a lot of rationales. And he’s also soliciting your comments.

We’re deep in the third week of the CNBC $1M Challenge game.
Just like a lot of you, I enjoy doing the rounds of the various stockpicking sites and blogs. Now, just because they’re stockpicking sites doesn’t mean that there shouldn’t be a decent amount of humor interspersed with useful, or at least entertaining, information.
