I made a little over $3800 in last weeks challenge and had a good day today, I am up about 6.5%. Good thing it is play money or I might start to believe I am smart enough to play for keeps (which I am not).
Dow has a record day, but the wrong kind of record...
Plunges 777 points....
You guys still want to buy stock?
Actually tomorrow probably wouldn't be a horrible day to buy... if you sell three days later. It is bound to have a little recovery.

Watching my Zion (virtual)... after acquiring Silver State, it'll be interesting ( my Silver State {reality} is toast...
)I bought into FNM & FRE which is Fanny Mae/Freddy Mac a few days back. I've been watching it like a hawk. I'm banking on the bail out to happen or I could be screwed. When the crooks in congress get close to a deal, market goes up, once delays hit, it goes down. It's an amazing thing to watch, even more amazing when you have 26K sitting in there like I do. I know I'm half nuts, but my motto has always been no risk, no gain. Right now I'm up roughly 30cents a share and I'm hoping for at least another 50cent spike upon some kind of a deal happening over the weekend. If we get a deal, stocks will surge big time Monday, if no deal I feel it's going to be ugly. This is like rolling the dice in Vegas.
Did you buy in at $0.35 per share or wait until it hit the $2 mark? Last week was a great week to make money on that stock. If indeed you got in sub $1 share, you might come out pretty good. I'm just starting to learn stock market, threw $800 into - lost some money and mad a little back. It's pretty fun and I can see how it would be addicting.
its like huge gambling.... its very addicting

I am outta the red and number 1! (for now)
just got lucky, i'm in for the long haul, problem is the guy that buryed his in the back yard will problably win
Bought in $1.15 a share, pulled part of it out @ 1.83 a share that was all my Freddie Mac stock. Were I f#ck*d up was leaving a bunch in Fanny Mae, I'm down a considerable amount with Fanny. I can only hope it comes back enough to get out for good! I'm done playing this game, feel it will take a long time for the stock market to ever get back to what it once was, with the amount of distrust people have for it right now. I'd feel a lot better if the money was sitting in a can, buried in a hole somewhere...........
