Welcome back to the B1G Stock Market Game! This week was relatively tame as far as the stocks go, so hopefully the comment section will be full of pissed off investors! Here goes...

The Rules

  1. Start with an initial investment equal to the average of all current investors. This week, that’s 455 Delaney Dollars ($455DD).
  2. Select team stocks to buy.
  3. After the week’s games, sell, hold, and/or buy for the next week.
  4. Max number of any one team’s shares that you can own is 50.

Team stock value comes from Teamrankings.com. The value of each team is the inverse of their current rating (out of 130 FBS teams), so team #2 costs $129, #6 costs $125, #129 costs $2.

What Teams Should I Invest In?

Buy low, sell high. Or vice versa. Buy shares of your own team, or feel all greasy by buying shares of your rival. While nobody can perfectly predict The Formula, team ratings are pretty much based on their game results, their opponents, and their opponents’ opponents.

Some players diversify, and others go heavy on one stock. You’ll find your niche. If you don’t like the dartboard method, you may want to check out Dead Read’s B1G Stock Report.

This Week

You're mad at me, aren't you? You were hard at work for over a minute last week, combing through schedules, finding the perfect investment. And you were right! Team A BEAT Team B! Team C's opponents' opponents won! Northwestern scored multiple touchdowns in the same game! And apparently all that means nothing, because your stock only rose 3 measly Delaney Dollars.

I would like to apologize on behalf of The Formula, and I'd also like to remind you that I still don't know exactly how The Formula works. Please, whatever you do, don't take it out on me. waw is a much better target.

The opening bell has rung, here are this week’s stock prices:

Illinois 69; Indiana 102; Iowa 116; Maryland 62; Michigan 120; Michigan State 109; Minnesota 111; Nebraska 78; Northwestern 64; Ohio State 130; Penn State 126; Purdue 70; rutger 11; Wisconsin 124
