Hey folks,

I am taking an Investments class for my MBA program and we have to pick a stock to track for the quarter. I am addicted to poker, so I figure I might as well pick a gaming stock. I'm looking through the Yahoo financial stuff, and see that MGM Mirage was recently rated by Forbes as one of the best run businesses in the US, so that seems to be a decent choice. But what about online poker sites? Are any of them publicly traded? They of course have more risk than MGM, but seem to have a much bigger upside. But I couldn't find any big ones that were publicly traded. Is this accurate?

I noticed that cryptologic is publicly traded and doing well, but from what I can gather their software does not run any of the bigger sites (PartyPoker, UltimateBet, PokerStars, etc.).

Any suggestions, sources for info, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
