Intro

EA's got "Market Makers" that scrounge through our online activities & uses what they find to effectively "build" the imaginary stock market we know & love/hate. This blog's for all kinds of investment/playing strategies (good, bad, ugly, and evil) and related observations. Also, I'm working on The Market Taker: an app to make managing everything in the game much more simple & streamlined, ideally making it easier to takeover the market! This blog will be like any other software development blog; I'll use it to announce new versions/features/bugs, discuss ways to use the app, get user feedback, etc.

Currently, The Market Taker is really a tentative name for it. It's looking like I'll likely be working w/(e)EGOANT to extend Envoy, his desktop ticker app for Empire Avenue. We're likely going to hold some sort of naming contest for it & The Market Taker will be my submission. What...who says I can't compete in a contest I'm organizing? You'll be the ones voting, not me!

So yeah...this is the place for any sort of strategies for investing, playing, driving up (or...dare I say it...DOWN?! *gasp*) yours or someone else's stock, as well as feature requests, feedback, etc. for the app.

Keep an eye out for the next post: 100% Dividends & How to Secure Them.
