Yes, I think we should do it again because it's showing what are good stocks, and making us choose wisely to get up high in the charts. Also I've learned a lot personally about stocks and how important they are. So can we please have the stock market contest again!!!!

Thanks, Karlee O'Keefe

1.)yes, i do think we should continue the stock market
2.)I think we should continue because it gives us all a chance to start over and do better in the contest and that way the people who didn't win can have a chance to win not to forget that it can teach us how to use the stock market smartly.
thanks,

i would like to continue the contest but with some revision of the rules so you may by a lot more stocks... also i think we should start out with a clean slate and completely start the contest over again

Yes we should continue the how the market works but that it shouldn't be in a contest form. As it is, how the market works is all about making more money than the guy next to you instead of teaching you how to use the stock market. That tends to get brushed aside in the rush to win.

yes i think we should do the stock market game because i got my mom and dad on it and every day they watch the news they go on thier computer to check how they are doing and it gives me a good experiance on how the stock market works in the future

Yeah definitely it was a great experience for me to learn a little about the market and now am probably ready for the real market once i'm eighteen

yes that would be a great idea.... when we started it was kind of boring but i found out it was teaching us about how stocks work. we can also use this information and knowledge we get from the contest for use later in our lives... so again i think we should continue the stock market contest.
