    Pacific ethanol screws me up royally. Should have got rid of it when it was only little down. Well, one can always hope for a miraculous rise.

    Yeah, I've decided to not bother playing it on a day-to-day basis anymore. Wasting far too much time on it lol. I've got my stocks and I'm gonna just keep them for a year now (barring disaster). Given how long a trade takes to process (and the implications this has for the price you buy/sell at), I don't think you're meant to be constantly buying and selling for profit anyway.

    Lol true that. The only reason I've been playing at all is because I'm still on break from school till Monday and there's nothing to do at work :(.

    That is somewhat what I am thinking Taure, except I am more likely to check it every couple of weeks (after the novelty wears off) then at the end of the year. I set a few sell limits to sell shares when the stocks reach a certain amount, and a few to buy shares if they get cheaper, etc. So it should work a little on its own.

    I'm surprised I haven't tanked...I missed out on doing some buying/selling yesterday (because I forgot I was doing this...lulz), so I made up for it today by buying some questionable stocks in precious metals.

    O_O

    BRK.B cost per share on Jan. 12 @ 10:00 (when it was bought) - $66.46
    What this thing says I paid per share - $3,315.99
    Current Price - $72.72
    Result? $19,459.62 in losses

    Very no bueno.


    edit: apparently being fixed, so that's good. I'm not too fond of last place.

    I had a problem like that with one of my stocks. I found a "report problem" or "help" button somewhere and sent something in about it.

    The next day they did some kind of reset and it fixed it rather promptly.

    Cheers

    Have you ever felt like you're forgetting something?

    Yeah, that's what happened when I logged in today after not doing anything with it for 2 days.

    I dropped more than 20 spots in the ranking, rofl.

    Oh, and FUCK YOU GOLD. I knew it was a mistake trying to invest in you.

    Gotta love it when Apple launch a new product and their stock value jumps 1.26 points in an hour.

    Edit: Oops, double posted.

    Probably because none of us are treating this like a day-trader. I'm not tryna' be on this imaginary shit, short-selling and moving shares like it's my job lol.

    Is there a virtual boiler room attachment ?

    Bloody hell, out of the 69 people who started playing only 7 are still in the green (not counting people who haven't bought/sold anything yet).
