I joined Wall Street Survivorlast year and ended up being in the top 1% of the contest. I actually placed 93 of over 20,000 members in the contest, which is superb. I didn’t win a grand prize or money, but I did develop a working trading strategy that I continue to use to this day. Thinking about winning the grand prize, or even the $100 (or whatever it was) daily prize, kept me playing the game. Although I was not disappointed when I didn’t win because I am now a smarter, more disciplined trader/investor.
