^ ^
last 2 days have sucked

Hatorade · 03-12-2008, 11:51 AM

2 days is nothing for long term stuff. Netflix continues to impress...loving the fact I have real money in it.

Bralkan · 03-13-2008, 06:25 AM

Ya, I had to ride out NFLX a bit and some others.

Hatorade · 03-19-2008, 09:10 AM

7 days to go! I just want to finish in the top 100 now >.<

Apple briefly took me to the top 10 but then they fell something like 30% in a week and i went to the bottom 10. Since then every single stock without fail I chose went down until i finally said feck it and invested all i had left, full double equity etc position in WWE at the start of the month.

They've gone up 10%, 102nd and rising *coughs*

The one thing I learned from this is that it is important to diversify stocks beyond one industry. A lot of my money was in Google and Apple so I lost quite a bit. Also didn't help that the stock market has been pretty shitty since this game started.

Bralkan · 03-26-2008, 12:21 PM

well, day trading is where it is at. I can't stand long term speculation. If that is your bag, screw individual stocks and get into indexes.

prescient63 · 03-26-2008, 01:43 PM

my trades from two months ago are still pending........

squong · 03-26-2008, 09:08 PM

well, in true long term stock market investments....i have seen my one stock SCON go from 6 bucks to 10 bucks [at which point i sold], then crash to 3, so i bought more and its back up to 4.60, along with all the other ups and downs. i tried keeping an eye on some stocks and trying to buy at worst points, but i ended up sinking 15g's into the stock and losing a bunch of it....but thats economics lol....some times ur up, other times you lose

Bralkan · 03-27-2008, 06:53 AM

if your trades don't go in 20-30 minutes, cancel it and issue another one.

Yutnopash · 03-28-2008, 11:03 AM

I gave up once my Exxon stock took me below 95k, after that happened I wanted to see just how much I could lose so went back to Valero and dumped everything in there now Im sitting at 101...hoping it tanks a little more but doubt Ill make it to last place. =(

Soriak · 03-28-2008, 11:07 AM

Bralkan · 03-28-2008, 11:54 AM
