My shit is tanking...

Musn't compulsively buy all taure's holdings...

 

I think Blockbuster will fail hard. What I do know is that if they managed to repair themselves, I would get a profit of like, 10x.

 

Haha... this is such a sinkhole for time.

Oddly fun though.

 

I'm in - I'm terrible at following this sort of thing though, so I'm likely to invest in a few long term scenarios, and then down the road when I remember about this, hope it all paid dividends.

*Edit* Or at least I thought I was in. I signed up, and joined game, but isn't showing me as in game. Hm.

*Edit2* I'm an idiot, but am in now. Time to go on a shopping spree!

 

Midyear PM me about resetting your portfolios. I'll only consider this if you've done something hilariously stupid like invest in Blockbuster, which is closing its doors faster than buffets when they see an oncoming Oz.

 

Ah, end of trading. Today went pretty well, all round.

Edit: Holy shit @ CheddarTrek's portfolio.

 

Ha, I'll try this out. Want to see just how badly I fail at this.

 

Holy Shit indeed. Did you just randomly select as many companies as possible and then pick the ones that were over $2 per share?

 

Okay I'm in, should be interesting, especially to play around with money that I don't have to worry about.

One question though, does anybody know how dividends work in this game?

 

I expect to recoup big time in the coming months.

 

I'm hoping that my stocks pick themselves up in the long run. Right now all of them are doing spectacularly badly, but its early days.

I'm interested in the %equity column, does this actually mean anything in game or is it meaningless statistics.

 

This column shows you how much you have gained or lost in that specific company from when you purchased the stocks, but in terms of percentages rather than an actual dollar amount.

Here's the Wikipedia article on it for further reading.

 

Pretty sure it just shows you the value of the asset as a percentage of total equity. Not that I understand anything about finance, but that's how the math seems to work.

 

Lol I invested a lot in some Chinese energy recycling company. Needless to say, I got pwned quite heavily.

 

I love Panera Bread.

 

Second day and my stocks did a nice 180 degree turn-around, making up for a poor first day performance. Gas and Chemical industries are the way to go.

Quick question: I've used up most of my buying power (got a $98k margin) and I'm guessing I'll be paying interest on that borrowed money, correct?

 

I'm in. Though I'll probably tank hard.

 

I invested in the same company and it bit me in the ass heavily.
