How to play
  1. Each card is a real company's results day, with the name hidden.
  2. Read what investors expected, what the company reported and what else it announced.
  3. Before the results come out, buy (you make money if the price rises), short (you make money if it falls) or stay out. Put 10%, 25% or 50% of your portfolio on it.
  4. The next morning the market opens. Take your profit or loss at the open, or hold to the close. Your profit or loss is the real price move on your position.
  5. Three new cards every weekday. Your portfolio carries over from day to day and starts again at $10,000 every Monday.
  6. Climb the tower: your balance decides your level. You start in the Lobby with $10,000; reach $11,000 for the Trading floor, then $12,500, $15,000, $20,000 and $25,000 for the Rooftop. Drop below $10,000 and you're out on the street. The higher you go, the fancier it gets.
  7. The catch: good news doesn't always mean up. Prices move on surprise, not on whether the news sounds good.
