My theory is that it's play money.  So even if you lose it's not painful.

Can anyone tell me what the purpose of the permanent portfolio is?

 

I have traded today for the first time with the 50,000 contest portfolio, hopefully I can gain quickly since I just joined this contest.

 

I can honestly say this is the most interesting game I have played in a long time. You meet new people and learn something about the stock market you would otherwise never find out in the real world.

The oil surge isn't over!  Watch the metals and ores sectors too today! 

New concept.               I have it now. We are just like England now. We have a central bank which is called the Fed. Our President  is like the Queen. Congress is the CEO'S AND CFO'S. The IRS and social security is the money taker. "The U.S. Federal Reserve announced Friday it will have an auction."  So that means the Federal Reserve is the Loan Officer.  We the people are the share holders in a 2 tier system where the gov. gets  2 votes to our  1/2.   Yep I got it now. ECH...............Do we need a 1776 all over again with our own country again? I am buying Gld

Read the charts on MON and CMP

MON is in demand for agri-business big time..

CMP had blowout earnings and salt & phosphates are in agri-business demand.

TROW is a buy @ 48/49 sell @ 52/53 ---I been trading this one for over a year up and down.

ALD is a buy @ below 20 and a good dividend play for holding..

What are you seeing that I'm not???

 the fall is about 3 mos to 6 mos away watch out

 i am new at this but i have to say that person sure is lucky to have made that much money, cause i sure do suck at this.

I herd the central bank speek today and one of the things I picked up on was in his round about way he wanted to open more accounts to help the banks. To me in my humble oppion is that is a real danger signal. The banks are secured by who?  the bankrupt gov? I'm going to buy into the stores. safeway and kroger. People allways need food.

 Where did the tools go I can't find them again. They are good.

try using other sites like ....cnnmoney.com    nasdaq.com   googlefinance.com   

I've tried those sites, I must just get in to late.....I still lose money!

HI all! I am very new to this and am hoping to play for real after i learn first without losing real money. I am not sure how this game works . how do you win prizes? Should i spend all my money making as many trades as i can? Anyone have any other tips for a new beginer? Also how do i know if i made money on a stock and which one i made money on? Thank you! DAN

I bought in to OPTR and I have made a nice profit, pretty cheap stock. Unfortunately I am losing much more in other stock.
