You know what's been the coolest thing about this round of the Site Market Game?

The Dialectizer!

The effect that this feature's scores have on the other features has made for some interesting gameplay. One day, the Dialectizer will surge up to around $200, and the next day it will plummet by $30. This has made it tricky to try to predict how the "little guys" are going to fare from day to day. For instance, today the Dialectizer is at a game-high of $206, and over the next two days it's bound to plunge back down to $175 or below. This will mitigate the losses in dollar value that some of the smaller features are likely to experience, so that their value might actually increase slightly despite a real-world decrease in traffic. When the Dialectizer takes a big plunge, everything else goes up correspondingly. It gets really interesting when the only stocks you can afford are $50 and below, since at that level the Dialectizer becomes like the moon affecting the tides. I can't afford the Dialectizer's stock, but I'm speculating on it just as much as on the stocks I actually do buy. Pretty neat!
