    You know, it looks like a pretty cool game.
    Open to US residents only though (prize wise). I hate that !

    Pooh ! :p

    Cheers,

    Yeah, that does suck! But I'm still having fun with it as a random time-waster :) and hey, it's kind of cool taking pot luck guesses on upcoming popular search terms.

    If only they could deposit the earnings into my PayPal account ;)

    Its a game you'll never win, because its already been overrun by hackers who've figured out how to game the system (in fact they figured it out within the first 24 hours). So, while you may earn a few hundred or a few thousand dollars with your wise investments, they've earned millions each day.

    B*#%#stards. Where's the fun in that?!!

    Oh well, it's still a pretty cool idea. Has anyone been involved in any of the other similar online trading games by this 'NewsFutures' company? Some seem interesting, like taking bets on whether Michael Jackson will be found guilty or not :)
