I downloaded an app for my iPhone a few months ago called Stock Wars which does the same thing, and it starts you off with $100,000. I'll post my portfolio:
Total: $111,615.20 (+11.62%)
Cash: $4,750.20
Equities: $106,865.00 (+10.67%)
ACTG $23,610.00 (1000 shares) (+5.54% change today) (+8.4% change since I bought the shares)
AMZN $16,134.00 (60 shares) (+2.03% change today) (+18.15% change since buy)
DIS $31.295.00 (500 shares) (+.94% today) (+27.66% since buy)

I do enjoy living a dangerous, risky lifestyle.

Did you buy ACTG after I recommended it a few days ago? :D

Yes, actually. I commend thee, Good Troll.

They announced they are starting a dividend today - $0.50 a share per year, so like 2.1% yield at current price. Puts a good bottom under the share price. And they expanded stock buybacks. Shows management have confidence, especially right after the stock got killed that day I recommended it. Has more room to go IMO. Although 9% on your money in two days is solid.
