Stock Ticker classic board game online

Used to play the board game with the family as a kid, now it's online and streamlined for fast play...

Tried it out and it's ok, much faster than havin to roll the dice and the comp automatically figures out all the transactions with a click of the mouse which makes it a no brainer calculation-wise...

After a few minutes i realized how to easy it is to make money, and wish i woulda figured out the correct strategy as a kid lol...

You get belts as you get more money... i was curious what you needed to get a black belt and finally got one at $10 million after playing for about an hour...

Then the game resets ya back to $5,000 and says "try to do it again" or something like that, so i was curious at what happens if you hit another $10 million and you end up getting a "2" over the picture of the black belt lol...

Love this game.....took me a 2 hours to get black belt. Once you get rolling and the dividends start adding up it gets easy.

Ya it seems to crash everytime once it gets below 20 , I had a million shares in gold at 5 and it crapped out....hahah, great game.

once it went up 20 from 5, so i sold it right away to lock in the profit... then it continued on up to par...

but ya, most of the time you hear the cow moo and it goes off market...

good thing is that stock splits seem to happen more often than when you play the actual game... but then again everything happens more often because of the speeded up time frame playin online...

if one were to actually play the board game it would take a few days straight to end up with the black belt $10 million lol...
