You get $1000 to buy stocks of the Dow Profits.
The market change can be found here:
Yahoo Stocks
You can buy and sell stocks at anytime, you just have to use the current price.
So for example the current Dow change is at +61.72, so using my $1000 I can buy 16 stocks at $61.72, with $12.84 left over. If the Dow change ever crosses zero, you lose all of your stocks.
If the prices are in the negative, just play like they are positive, but remember anytime the price crosses zero you lose all of your stocks.
The person with the most money at the end of the day wins.
Yesterday I ended up with about $2 left, hopefully I can do better today.

I wish you luck. I don't play the stocks. I learned in my Statistics class that I don't do the stocks. We were given a pool of $10,000, and we were to invest it, and whoever ended up with the most money at the end of term won or got an A on that assignment, or whatever. I think I lost the most money in the class.
:-P
Update: today I ended up with $13,039.80 after starting with just $1,000. By far the best day yet.
Hey, I went to Blackhawk and played all night and won $0.50. And spent $40 for gas to get there. That's less encouraging and more costly than doing your stock market game. Interesting idea, that stock market game.
