AlexaDex - Virtual Stock Market You Will Grow Addicted To

AlexaDex is a dangerously addictive virtual stock market trading game. Users are given 10,000 dex dollars to spend on shares as they please, then watch their stocks rise and fall and compete to roll out number one on the AlexaDex each quarter. You can view the top 25 investors, and those who have gained the most (in terms of the percentage their earnings have jumped in a given amount of time). You can also view on the homepage the recent transactions that have taken place, who bought or sold what, how many, and how much.

Join forums, check out your portfolio everyday, all of the stock estimations are based on Alexa ranking so you can gauge your purchases based on this. A fun feature the site has is that you can pick which language you would like the site to appear in. It has, of course, all of the usual languages, Spanish, French, German, English, Cantonese, Czech, etc. However they also include some funny ones like dork, ghetto, Piglatin and others.

They explain what is and what is not considered cheating:
- buying porn: not cheating
- arbitrage: not cheating (though near impossible now)
- hoarding (for excessive periods of time): stupid, but not cheating
- multiple accounts: not cheating
- flipping stocks between multiple accounts: minor cheating
- disguising your identity(ies): purpose is suspicious, and thus cheating is assumed
- manipulating traffic of domains you own: not cheating — insider trading is OK, colin said so himself
- stealing someone's account: major cheating
- buying dummy aliases: cheating and not tolerated
- buying legitimate aliases (ex. cnnpakistan.com, an alias of cnn.com): not cheating.
