Reblogged from Libdrone's Thoughts and Musings:
It was a thread in Team Zen, but it felt as though it really could have used a bit of self help from the 1970's. Empire Avenue is a very intriguing and complex web site. It is in one sense an equivalent or perhaps competitor to sites like Klout and Peer Index. But at the same time it is most definitely a social networking stock market trading game.
Speculation is bad for the community at large! This has been shown at the real stock market as well as at Empire Avenue

Just curious what do you mean by “speculation”??
Speculation on the share price, i.e. buying to prop up and then to sell for taking a profit
