If you were given $100,000 and had to invest it in US stocks what could you do with it over the next 210 days? That’s the premise behind the ongoing 2006 MakeYouGoHmm Virtual Stock Exchange which now has 38 players.

We’d like you to join and play too, it’s free and kind of addictive. It can take as few as a few minutes to register, pick some stocks and then let it go, or you can check it daily, whichever you prefer. First prize is $100 USD sent via PayPal plus Nathan has offered up a DVD.

Gatsby stopped by and picked himself to be the winner. Smack talk, already? Love it! Anybody here think they will be able to double that 100 grand by midnight December 31st, 2006?

This week’s top dog is wrkelly88 who has amassed $107,080.43 with an overall return of +7.08% and 8 trades. His biggest purchase is 12,000 shares of Dana Corporation (DQNAQ) followed by 5,000 shares of Silver Wheaton (SLW). You can view any player’s fantasy stocks portfolio which might be good for strategic purposes or to get some possible ideas of stocks you might want to purchase. As mentioned last week, however, just because a stock did good for one player at one time, doesn’t mean it will continue to do good once you’ve bought it.

Last week’s top player, SlickRick, is holding tough at #2, followed by Thomas Hawk. You can find me down at #30 with $99,318. It was worse mid last week, but I am rallying. Hopefully that trend continues this week and I’ll get back over the original $100,000.

The market opens in 30 minutes from this post. Good luck to all players for another exciting week.
