The "Cubing Stock" Game Thread!

[bldcuber314]

Since I thought this was an interesting idea, I thought of a strategy that I think would be really effective. The competitors I chose are not well-known, and I don't know them either, I found them by looking at competitor lists. I'm curious to see how well my strategy does compared to what everybody else is doing, which is totally different(and most of them are clearly not trying to actually win but I want to be #1 in the leaderboard just for fun).

Since my strategy mostly relies on random cubers who are competing this week, I feel like while it may be a better strategy, it goes against the spirit of this game(since it's about top solvers who have a lot of potential) so I'll only do it this week.

This could be fun to make a website on with the WCA API. You could have each "investor" login with their WCA account. I'm not sure about the inflation issue tho. You could have a value decay like each competitor loses 1 point a day. Insider trading would probably win if you can invest in yourself or someone you know who's about to drop a new PR.

Copied my bets . You'll probably win, those stocks are likely to double on the weekend. I bought more variety to be safer.
