This is your last chance to join — or make your big move if already playing — the 2006 Hmm Virtual Stock Exchange. I haven’t provided updates for awhile because, well, I’ve been unhappy with the Market Watch game software. The site has had reliability issues and been disappointing overall and I didn’t want to promote them any more. With that said, there won’t be a 2007 version of this contest — at least not at Market Watch — but we’ll have another contest of some sort next year.

More prizes
As promised 76 days ago, since we went over 100 players — 119 players as of this writing — we are adding more prizes. The original prize announcement, contest details and rules are outlined here.

Prize claim details
In order for the winners to claim prizes you must do the following:

1) leave a comment below with the name and email used in the contest at Market Watch. We will then contact you directly to get the necessary details to send the prize listed above.
2) prizes not claimed, if any, by January 31, 2007 will be forefeited. Please don’t let this happen.

Good luck the final day of trading 2006 to all players!
