It’s baaack…
CNBC.com’s Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge is back for a second time this year. And this time, it includes a free $25 Micro Account from FXCM, a forex market. Otherwise, it looks to have the same rules as last time.
The challenge starts on November 17th.
I can’t say I’m too hot on playing this again. It’s not because of my previous dismal results – though I’m sure if I was a previous winner, I might be more motivated. It’s really because, well, the game has gotten kinda boring.
It was kinda cool when it first came out. A novelty and all that. There was even a friendly wager going on between a friend and I. But I’m not too familiar with forex trading and it’s more about gaming the game than playing it like a real market – cuz it isn’t a real market; it’s just a derivative of a real market.
So I dunno… I think I’ll sit this one out. Are you going to play it this time around?
Aw, not gonna play?
Nah. Don’t really have the time and am not interested anymore. Maybe the novelty has worn off. Are you going to play?
Why of course! :)
