Dear CEO's,
As you all know WSE 4.0 is a huge undertaking and we have now entered a
phase of development that requires the WSE to close all trading and
transactions for up to 30 days.
Please continue using the WSE for all your normal reporting and
announcements during this period.
WSE 4.0 includes a new ATM, improved security and functionality along
with a new conditional trading system.
I will release an announcement shortly.
Kind Regards,
LukeConnell Vandeverre

30 days is an eternity in Second Life!

Anybody still have any money in it?
Imagine if the NASDAQ announced out of the blue that they were closing for 30 days... _____________________

I hope no one's dumb enough to wait for 30 days before finding out what's really going on. A notice like that is clever way to placate those about to lose all their money for a month while clearing out the Paypal and bank accounts.

No official word on their site, but if you go to any specific stock page, you get this message: *Market Alert: Trading in this security has been temporarily halted by WSE. Please visit the IPO page as this company may have a Secondary Offer which results in a trading halt until the offer is closed.

Does that mean all those shares I bought of Figtree Imports are worthless? _____________________

It's just one level more fictitious than WSE 3.0. Disclaimer on every page of the WSE website: The World Stock Exchange (WSE) is a Fictional Securities Exchange and Banking service developed for educational and entertainment purposes and is not a real life securities exchange and bank. Maybe this should be the SLCon08 thread.... I am not a crook. _____________________

Call me old school but I still, after over 2 years in SL, cannot understand why people would waste their time and especially money on a fake stock exchange and spend real money on it....
 Anyone remember "paper trading". Seems a hell of lot more logical and more rewarding being it is based on the real stock exchange and you don't invest any real money. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=paper+trading But whatever. _____________________
