About me Physician by training (thanks to Navy). Stay home mom now. No stock training/experience prior to March 2008. Future Hedge fund owner :) "Being wrong is acceptable, but staying wrong is totally unacceptable"- Minervini. Latest book I am reading: "Stock Market Wizards" by Jack Schwager. Packed with good tips.
Get ahead of the game with realtime market quotes for as little as $10.99 a month!
Uh no, this is the lowest it has been in 15 months according to the news. hope we have a rebound???? You are still way ahead of me and the visa is only down 3 on the worst day ever... I have seen it drop 4 on a normal day. so not to shabby, we will get some rebound.
Is this fairly typical for a Friday?
the game has glitches sometimes for a few minutes when you buy and sell sometimes it looks like you are doing awesome, but then it settles out. I was at 94 most of the day. I put a message on your wall. hang in there today!
??? U went from 115k to 94k, maybe my computer messed up??? I thought u gained 25k....
how do i send you a buddy request?
You are starting with 100,000 and they will also loan you another 100,000. If you look at your dashboard or balance page it shows they charge you some interest, though not much compared to what you are making usually. In real life I would not use the loan, becuase you can get a margin call if stocks drop in price and they will automatically sell off all your stock. In the game I have not seen them do that so I tend to use the loan amount. Markets are way down yesterday and probably today, so don't be alarmed if everything is dropping off.... sell off your royl and take your profits before it drops back! look out here I come! ps=send me a buddy request so you show on my screen too.

What does loan balance mean, and why is mine in the negative?
Well, well, well. This stock thing is pretty simple. No, just got lucky. I saw ROYL up on the ticker with a buy sign next to it is all, and it was pretty cheap so I bought a lot of it. I got some Toyota, Honda, BP, a solar panel co., and a couple others, but the rest is from the ticker.
11,844 to 11,026 today. :)
Slowly climbing out of the hole I got into while on vacation for a week- all the speculative oil stocks I owned dropped into the abyss last week, some by 50%. So.....yes, it would be easy to log into a new account and start over, but much more of a challenge to see if I can get back to top 100 from here. Lessons I learned: Sell off any speculative stocks that need close monitor. ensure you are all in cash or at least in very strong long positions. Hope everyone else survived the big drop better than I.
