    Rofl, my investments in BAE Systems and Toyota Motors are suddenly seeming incredibly bad. It's like a Who's Who of bad business stories.

    Just don't invest in companies that make 5 million cars with lethally faulty brakes or spend tens of millions on bribes to officials in the Middle East.

    That would be stupid.

    :(

    Well, now we only have enembee, ChaoticBlues, and Necrule Paen with more money than they started with.

    We suck at this apparently. At least I know not to put real money in the Stock Market any time soon.

    That, or maybe the stock market fell 6% since we started (which I expect is what the average DLP investment did), and it's stupid to draw conclusions after one month.

    BRK.A! I have BRK.B. So close - except when mine screwed up it lost me lots of money for a while, not the other way around.

    Buy shares in small holding company just before it's taken over by Warren Buffet.

    Profit.

    That's how apparently.

    I had a similar bug to Psychotic cat, but in the opposite way. I had some shares of something that went down to counting as 0 even though they were still actually worth 17 dollars a share or something, so I ended up a lot more in the hole than I should have been.

    I sent them a message about it somehow and I have to give them credit -- it was fixed the next day.

    Hrm, Google you say? Might go grab a few shares.

    I also just spent a bit of time placing orders to sell some of the stocks I have floating around my portfolio. Time to clear out some of them, though I had originally intended to just leave it as is until the end of the year. I'm getting slightly tired of waiting seeing how bad it's doing, so I'll start playing around a little more. Besides, I need moar monies to buy Google.
