Money for nothin'

That ain't workin

The Commissioner's office will authorize an experimental stock market option stimulus plan this week.  Despite the late date in the week the CO plans to offer all league franchises a free purchase on the PSAS Stock Market Version 0.69 (Beta).  How does it work?  I'm so glad you asked. Teams are divided into four categories (based on the Power Rankings).

1-3  - Blue Chip
4-6  - Red Chip

7-9 - Penny Stock

10-12 - Junk Bonds

 You get one free pick of any game (5 PRN).  Payouts are determined by the relative scale of the teams ranking.

                    Blue Chip      Red Chip       Penny Stock        Junk Bond

Blue Chip            5                 4                      3                        2

Red Chip            10               5                       4                        3



Penny Stock        15                10                   5                        4


Junk Bond          20                15                   10                        5


Teams selected will receive nominal investment capital (per selection) regardless of the outcome of their game.  As the purchaser you only get dividends if your selection wins - i.e. you win the stimulus (5 PRN + the dividend). Pick wrong and you get nothing.  For hand reference the games this week [dividend in brackets]

Obviously this freebie is a  one time deal, the hook, the candy.  After this (pending the Financial Chief's tweaking and approval) you're paying to play.  But we got your back now, don't sweat it.  What could go wrong?   Eventually we'll use the Yahoo pick function, but for now you can just leave it in comments here.
