DayTrader was recently reviewed in issue #5 of PalmUser magazine.
Here are a few text snippets, lifted straight from the review by Anne Johnstone:
"I'm not sure whether to classify this game as arcade, puzzle or strategy,
but it's certainly original. Kevin Umbach's Day Trader presents six
imaginary stocks, complete with animated graphs showing their recent
history. The aim of the game is to buy and sell each one at just the right
time to make a profit. With days slipping by at one every second, keeping
on top of the share information presented is a fairly frantic, but
absorbing task. Making the game even more interesting are share dividends
and the possibility of companies going bust." PalmUser magazine issue 5

I love this game...I have played imaginary stock games before but this is the best one that I have seen in a long time. Kudos to the team who created this program..

Great game at a great price. Lose my shirt consistantly in this game. The real time stock movements are a blast. I just wish the game would allow for short selling so I could also lose my money when the stock went up in price. This game is a good cure for anyone who thinks they may have what it takes to daytrade.

This is a really great game. I've only had the time to play it over the one year period that it defaults to (~5 minutes), as I don't think that I want to spend the time it would take to play the 5 or 10 year cycles. But it's the best free game I've got on my Visor, and I play it more than any other game I've got, with SimCity as a close second. It's so easy to play that my technophobe wife even plays it. As I said, great little game.

Excellent little game, ideal for those who want to spend money they don't have on stocks.
Have found that my stocks crash with regularity, doesn't matter whether I buy low, mid or high.
