It’s not quite Wall Street, but over the last year Zoners have been competing against each other on NZX virtual trading to see who can grow a biggest virtual share portfolio. The virtual shares are based on actual NZX-listed shares. Each of the six teams started with 50,000 virtual dollars (v$). Several teams lost interest and were taken out of the running for not submitting their financial reports in time, while the winning team, Foley Contractors, was able to grow their virtual wealth by over by over v$25,000. My team, VeldCorp came in a close second after a strong rally in the final quarter while the Codd Squad were able to pick up the bronze medal, despite barely making enough to buy a virtual cup of coffee, because nobody else finished the race.
