About me Hello, Everyone calls me Toni, so feel free. I am a 48 yr. old black female with four children who are all out of the home. I have went to college for web design, Nursing home administration seeing that I worked their for 16 yrs. I have worked City Probation and Parole. I have been a battered wife a loving wife. I would love to open a shelter for others in the future if the Lord sees fit. I have had four surgeries this yr. including knee, hip and then hip replacement and bowel surgery all last yr. And then a blood clot. I also need two more surgeries. I have a vascular necrosis which is britling ofthe bones and is spreading to all of my bones. I hate it but refuse to give up so I have started doing little surveys online. My love brings in 1150 per month but it is not being able to pull my own weight that is getting to me. I thought I would try this game to learn stocks and trading to get at least semi rich if not all of the way. I want so much in life and running from shelter to shelter then getting on drugs when I found myself alone with four children at 24 I lost it and everything I had. Then in 2000 my kids dad all of their dads passed away just the one. He burned while stuck in his car in an accident. 2001 My cousin Tina burned from the inside ut she is suppose to be in history books. Steven Johnson Syndrome. It sucks. The next yr I lost my cousin again while he was defending a women he didn't even know. Then my grandmother who was 88 in 2006 and mom 2007 July. It has been a very tough road for me and appalls me when people think I am a scammer or something. I am just trying to pay my own way in life and really haven't got a clue as to what I should try to do. We are living payday to payday which was never my style, I am so ashamed to get out with walker or cane so I am depressed and home bound it sucks to be right now but I was in intensive care for three weeks. And now that I am back nothing will stop me. I have great kids, grandchildren and a honey that really loves me. So I am blessed and may God bless each of you. I also have dog we call ehr secret she is a secret from the landlord unfortunately right at this time. We can't afford two hundred to keep her. She makes our day. My honey is 62 and a white specialty that I adore. His name is Joy and his dad was a preacher so get over it everyone. (smiling) Hope you guys enjoy the game I am trying to learn its hard but everyday I pick up something I didn't know. Goodluck everyone. Tonig

    I have not used the reset option on this account permant or contest, but I did use it on another account when it was free. But now you have to pay or use your points. I am not sure how they have it set to use points. Most likely it will be like the free reset, but the last day for that was June 30th. What I did then was click on store, then click on reset, then type in RESET in the coupon box, fill out the information lines and it was done. Probably you would have to type in POINTS in the coupon box on the reset page.

    i BELIEVE THE BOX YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IS THE BUY/SELL BOX WHERE YOU CAN SET A LIMIT AS TO THE PRICE YOU BUY OR SELL THE STOCK AT.

    Yeah I played lcc good today shorted at 3.17 then covered at 2.89 then bought at 2.89 for a monday rebound play. It traded back up to 3 after hours. I will sell at 3.10 or so on monday. Not to bad 5 grand playing both sides of the trade. Speaking of reset buttons I don't like where they put it. One false move and poof! Good luck next week. ttyl

    Hi tonig, I saw your question about buying and selling stock. If it says you don't have a long position then you did not buy, you shorted the stock. When you go to trades if you want to buy make sure you click on buy. When you buy you can sell when the stock goes up and make money.  If you click on short then you do have to cover to sell the stock but you want the stock to go down in price before you cover, if it goes up you lose money.  Hope this helps. Any questions you have just click on my picture which will take you to my message board and you can ask. I will answer if I know the answer and if I don't I will find an answer for you.
