1-year Treasury note - Yield 5 percent
An AAA bond with a good yield. This investment represents extreme security and good income, but, of course, no appreciation.
(Doug's note to new players: This bond cannot change in value, ever. Since it has a 5 percent yield, this means that all "loose money" that you would have sitting around should be in this bond, not considering the transaction charge.)

Amazon dot com - Yield 1 percent
A well-established company with a phenomenal growth record. It is a expanding industry, spends a lot of money on research, and is expected to continue its growth pattern. The Company's policy of reinvesting earnings causes low yield. The price-to-earnings ratio of this stock is extremely high.

WeWork, Inc. - No yield
An investment representing good prospects of high appreciation. No dividends are expected in the immediate future. However, the City's proposed Urban Renewal Program could have great effect on earnings.

SPY S&P 500 ETF - Yield 4 percent
A common stock income mutual fund offered by a large mutual fund company. It has a good yield of 4 percent. Stock in this fund represents a good, steady income, but only a fair appreciation investment.

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC. - Yield 7 percent
A real estate investment representing extremely high income, but steadily depreciating capital assets.

Retrophin Pharmecuticals - No yield
A stock representing extremely speculative investment. Profits go toward drilling new oil wellsresearching new drugs, so no dividends are expected. This stock could be worth rags or riches.

Tesla - No yield
A stock representing a high appreciation investment prospect with a good, stable outlook depending on the administrative ability and ambition of its energetic young president. As all profits go back into the Company, dividends are not expected to be declared in the foreseeable future.

Intel Corporation - Yield 2 percent
A medium large company in the large, oligopolistic semiconductor industry. Intel Corporation, like others in the industry, is subject to whims of public fancy. Stock in this company represents a somewhat speculative investment with a good growth pattern. Because it is popular with the investing public, it has a fairly high price-to-earnings ratio and low yield.

Bitcoin mining, Inc. - Yield 6 percent
A highly speculative, high-income stock ideal for the short- or medium-term investor. Its long-term prospects are fair to poor.

Pacific Power & Light Company - Yield 3 percent
A stable, steadily growing public utility company located in a well-established, healthy industrial area. Stock in this company represents a safe, medium-yield, medium-growth investment.

I'll stick with my Tesla stock. I don't think their tiny submarine is priced in yet. No purchases, no sales.

Think about it, there's no way it can go any lower. Only a fool would not buy another share!

I don't think we need to spoiler anything, the "buy whatever the other guy has only more" strategy doesn't work with multiple people. And also, who cares.
