bullbearings.co.uk

A friend told me about this site that simulates the london stock exchange. Its a fantasy trader site that uses real live LSE stock prices for the game. You are given 100,000 pounds to start with then you can start investing!!... It is of course a game and no money is actually made or lost. The only thing that you earn/lose is pride. A leader board of the top investors are shown, bottom feeders will be deemed too insignificant to display and a waste of server real estate (go cry yourself to sleep).

I am giving it a try. Wonder how it will go... will probably end up bankrupt. haha... good thing its only "monopoly money".

Will give more details soon. Hopefully i get to understand how stuff works around the equity market "the hard way" without its side effects. I believe the SGX will work the same way, hopefully. Thats where i will probably "play the real thing" if i ever do. Anyone out there who is by any chance reading this and itching to invest their 100,000 virtual pounds, go to bullbearings.co.uk. For those who actually have 100,000 quid to spare, please donate to benjamingoh.org.sg. Help me help you make someone happy today!!

I went to watch the musical mama mia on monday and just came back from bristol on a Rolls-Royce tour/trip organised probably by RR and the school. Will go there for a penultimate summer internship maybe? Who knows. Before that was 2 weekends of floorball tournament by imperial sing soc, seeing teams from london sch of econs (LSE) and from as far away as uni of warwick. In the tourny, we topped our group only to lose in the semis. shit! Anyway, thats life.

Oh, and happy CNY to all. Do remember to gain lots of weight and get sick from all that junk food.
To singles: get lots of cash.
To married couples: lose all that cash.
To all the above: Go wild and paint your house red.
