We would like to ask you to take part in an experiment. It would help you discover your talent as a stock trader and assist in important research. The experiment is going to take a few minutes only and you can be given real money.
During the experiment you will manage two portfolios consisting of ten assets each. The initial price of each asset is $10, and thus every portfolio value stands at $100 (example of one of the portfolio see below).
Your aim is to win, and if the final value of the two portfolios under your management is more than $200, we will pay to your PayPal account, in your respective currency, the difference between the final and initial value of your portfolios . If you lose, there will not be not any consequences for you, as it is an experiment only , and our goal is to motivate the respondents rather than to get their money.
Let us explain the details of the experiment.
First of all, there will be 2 different portfolios under your management, 12 rounds when the price of the assets will change, and you will be able to take part in the experiment only once.
Secondly, you will be able to sell an asset only once during the game, or you may choose to do nothing, so your asset will remain unsold. At the end of the 12th round we will add up all the money gained from the sold assets plus the current value of unsold assets in your portfolios, which will be the final value. It is not necessary to sell all assets, but if you do not sell at least one asset in each portfolio, we will not keep your record.
Each time you press the "Next Month" button to continue, you will receive a quote for the changes in the price of each asset and will be able to sell it in any of the 12 rounds, which correspond to twelve months of the year.
As it was mentioned above, on achieving a positive result which is the difference between final value of your portfolios and the initial value of both portfolios, which is $200, you will be asked to enter your PayPal account. This is optional, but in such a case, we will not be to transfer your winnings and will assume that you took part in the research guided solely by scientific considerations.
If the result is negative, do not worry, it is just an experiment, you do not have to pay anything.
If for some reason the win has not been paid to you or it paid too late, please do not blame us; this experiment is privately funded and is not commercial.
