I like the concept. It's light and fun and I could see how it would become addicting especially given your game mechanics setup. Are you using a third-party platform to run that?

From a marketing perspective, this might be something to pitch to high schools with finance classes. It's a bit lighter than some of the more technical stock simulations but I could see teachers using this as an intro to investing and a way to engage students. I think understanding how you're positioned relative to the heavier simulators like VSE would be valuable.

My one request would be for a demo or screenshot or something on the front end before I register. I like to see what I'm getting into before I give you my email address and create a username.

Stickiness does seem to be a challenge. I love the idea of becoming "employees" of a company based on how you predict their stock. But beyond that, I'm not sure what else there is to do. I make a pick and wait to see what happens. What do I do in the meantime?
