About In a nutshell, GolfInvestors is:

"...a collection of industry-specific stock markets (golf-related) with an accounting system integrated into them to allow for easy revenue and expense allocation (from the golfer's perspective) and real-time, non-fraud financial reporting (from the investor's perspective)."

The Golf Stock Market

GolfInvestors is a collection of golf stock markets, both real and simulation (fantasy), where investors can buy and sell shares of various professional golfers and professional golfers can raise funds via private placements and public offerings.

The goal of the GolfInvestor stock markets is to create a liquid and transparent financial market environment for small entities (i.e. professional golfer). The environment is similar to the trading environment seen on such worldly markets as the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ, the London Stock Exchange, and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. However, we look to improve on those stock market models as GolfInvestors matures as a concept, namely through real-time financials from an accounting system associated directly with the stock market.

In the real portion of GolfInvestors, investors see real increases and decreases in their money value. Whereas, in the simulation portion of GolfInvestors, investors do not lose or win money. Rather they win specific prizes for each market based upon their investment returns on fictitious money.

Along with being a game, the simulation markets help investors understand how the GolfInvestor markets work. Also professional golfers can test the interest level in their stock by doing an offering on a simluation market before doing an offering on a real market.

GolfInvestor stock markets are interactive and engaging, be it via a web browser or a handheld wireless device (i.e. cell phone or PDA).
