Highway6 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 winner gets amazon gift cards worth the value of his winning portfolio, right ??--------------------------dammit... i cant make a 100% automatic contest tracker in google docs.ISK is throwing me off because it's also a stock and i cant figure out how to make the goog finance lookup equation find the currency price instead.Same with gold..

Highway6 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Live Contest SnapshotI got bored yesterday evening. Except for the currency conversion of ISK, these current prices update automatically every 3-5 minutes or so.The page gets republished every 5 minutes as well.If anyone sees any mistakes, let me know.If anyone can think of a more accurate way to get the ISK price automatically, please let me know.EDIT:This is an unofficial contest tracker and does not indicate official totals or rankings...duh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Live Contest SnapshotI got bored yesterday evening. Hey, I got some paper work at my place that needs attention if you are still bored.

N Judah Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 They already released their earnings report...I doubt a new web app that does the same thing as a desktop app will make the stock "explode" but hey if everyone decides it will "explode" an acts on that assumption then by definition it will "explode"...

Pumapayam Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 It would have been funny, had more people joined the challenge and if the coding was not a nightmare, to have each members stock value in our profile space. Then I could say, "Hey, I am more worthy than you!". But with the rankings, avatars, locations, star ratings, I can't see much more room for that. But Highway6's sheet is just neat, I should not even been on now, but I am going to refresh all day! Productivity ↓ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway6 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Judah, you really have taken it so far.But of course, if a .004 currency rate change can make you lose half your investment.. then you have an amazing amount of growth potential as well.

editor Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Why did you decide to be the control cash $1000 entry.Because I missed my own deadline.
