Playing & Trading Strategy

I think Moviestocks are more comparable to the stock market than Starbonds.

So, there are probably more opportunities to teach about markets focusing on Moviestocks. Maybe have students sign up, buy stocks and give recaps/reports on why they bought what they did? Strategy and idea generation are big in this game. Maybe have them learn a bit about it and then lay out their strategy and see who does the best? Also, simply learning how the market works is important for success.

Eyescovered's idea of starting a League is a good one.

Starbonds don't work like real bonds (income vs. volatility when compared to the real bond market), so that's why I didn't suggest using Starbonds as a teaching tool. The derivatives may be good to use in risk/reward teaching situations. Either the nominoptions or opening weekend options (put call and warrant).

Remember, a good understanding of Hollywood and what movies will do well will give anyone an advantage against someone that doesn't know or have a serious interest in movies.

Also be aware that simply spending more time on this site will ramp up someone's edge, as it has a steep learning curve!
