Stock Market Game – Yalicoo
The best trader award goes to…

By Yinon Arieli | October 29, 2007

Last week was one of the most exiting weeks in Yalicoo (while I would not like to sound like a broken record, the competitions are indeed becoming more interesting as time passes and more players join the events). Without a doubt, octavio is one of the nominees for the best trader of this month. octavio managed to outshine all other players and took the lead in both the quarterly and the monthly competitions.

octavio is demonstrating that it is possible to gain high returns by holding to the right stocks at the right time, even with large cap companies. Therefore, in octavio’s portfolio one may find companies such as Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO), Apple Inc. (AAPL) and other Goliaths in their field.

The monthly competition is scheduled to end in 3 days. Although octavio is currently ranked first (11.3%), he is closely trailed by ixchiquixi (10.5%), Trader420 (9.3%) and kman1420 (9.1%) all of whom have still got a few days to close the gap and take the lead, making this a most exciting competition to watch and participate in.

The quarterly competition has more than two months to go

As I have already mentioned, octavio also leads the quarterly competition. However, the spread between octavio’s yield to that of QueenPortfolio, who is ranked seventh, is not more than 3.5%. It might be too large of a gap to close in few days, but the quarterly competition has still got more than two whole months to go. The bottom line is that everything is still open and I will not be surprised to see a new leader next week. After all, Yalicoo’s leaders are proving to be observant, astute investors who manage to beat the Indexes in every competition.

You don’t have to know foreign languages to be winner…

If you speak German, you probably know the meaning of the word ‘schpitz’, which is also the name of the winner of the last weekly competition. The word “schpitz” means- a pointy leading sharp edge and also- a leading expert in a field. Since shpitz succeeded to beat the Dow by more than 3% last week, schpitz certainly deserves this title. In Yalicoo, though, one does not have to speak foreign languages in order to succeed. As a matter of fact, in order to succeed in Yalicoo and in the stock market you should follow the steps taken by our leaders, study them and adopt those which fit your own style.

This is the uniqueness of Yalicoo. You can follow all the trades made by all players almost in real time. This can help you improve your own trading and investing skills in Yalicoo and later on in the real stock market. You can get new investing ideas and build a winning strategy for your portfolio. In other words, watching the leaders can assist you become the ‘schpitz’ of next week.
