Some players actually made some very sizeable gains because of NPD monthly.
I don't think you can expect somebody to invest in something and then sell it to correct it to the target price they think on their own if it exceeds that price.
No realworld investor would think Apple is overvalued if they had a large investment and they were up a lot on their investment with potential gains still.
The game mechanics also do not allow or help a single player to benefit on both buy and sell of a stock.
Going opposite of your holding just loses you money.
The wisdom of the crowd theory is meant to correct this problem but lack of trading volume and active players is the problem and is difficult to correct with current allowed trading.
I do not know how this can be fixed without access to regular official sales data to create interest like Facebook social games which encourages regular play.
