Game Show

Bottom Line

The Bottom Line mixes together themes that fascinate people in our culture: money, secret knowledge, competition, and greed.

Viewers will not only be entertained, but will also learn about the businesses most likely to lead our country back to dominance in the world markets.

Synopsis:
The Bottom Line is an investment game: Several teams--each with twenty-five thousand VIRTUAL dollars in the bank--research corporations, aiming to find those whose stock will rise in the near term.

The team that ends up making the biggest profit will divvy up twenty-five thousand REAL dollars.

During each episode, participants will interview famous stock analysts and visit the corporations, e.g., watching Robotronics designers coming up with the next generation of smart slaves.

Because most stocks don't appreciate quickly, to win in The Bottom Line, participants are going to have to find companies with immediate potential or with volatility. Either way, there will be big risks, which translate into excitement.

People at home can play along, providing their insights in blogs associated with each team.
