e launched UpDown.com in the fall of 2007 live on CNBC with the goal of helping you improve your investing skills with no risk of financial loss. Since then, we have created a platform where you can manage a virtual portfolio, compete and collaborate with thousands of talented investors, and earn real money.

We have come a long way since our start less than one year ago, but we still have much farther to go to maximize the full potential of UpDown for you. We are working hard every day to make your investing experience on UpDown more comprehensive, more transparent, and even more profitable for you.

Today, we are launching the UpDown Blog to improve communications between you and us, The UpDown Team. We believe that the blog is the most effective way for us to respond to your requests for how to make UpDown better. Also, you will be able to discover and comment on UpDown news and on the latest features of the site.

Please leave your feedback here and join us for interactive discussions in the UpDown.com Group. We are very excited to hear from you!
