Stock Market Game - The Teeming Millionaires

I’m in! Everyone prepare to be left behind in the greed race. Good time to buy, though; NASDAQ is biting royally. CW says buy when things bite, sell when they soar. Now to try to go back in and figure out what everyone else bought.

That is, I think I’m in; when I view my portfolio, I see a little notation to the left that says “Teeming Millionaires,” but no other indication that I am part of a group. Am I supposed to be seeing other people’s portfolios in this window?

I’m in, this should be fun. :slight_smile:

Okay, I’m in. Someone already had my name (someone almost always does :frowning: ) so I’m there under the name ShadowKat.

wooohooo! Number 3.

From first place to last place in the blink of an eye.

What does “margin call” mean?

I suck… But I"m having fun trying out different stocks. Just ignore the amount of trades.

The last time I did anything like this was when learning applied economics in middle school. I didn’t win then and I doubt I’ll win now but this should be fun.

Scylla. What in the hell inspired you to buy stock in the WWF? I’ve really got to know.

And why the fuck are the indexs going down, but priceline’s going up?! Drop! Drop! Drop! Damn you! drop like William Fucking Shatner’s hairline.

ahhh. That’s what I get for selling short.

Oldscratch:

WWF recently got shellacked, and it’s trading at support. Take aside the raunch factor, and the company’s a money making machine. I think they very successfully layed off the risk of this XFL venture, and ummm… I kinda like wrestling. Does this make me a bad person?

No no not at all. As long as you’re not bying stock in the WCW you can be considered sane. I too like wrestling, and am actually gasp looking forward to the XFL games to be played at PacBell Park in Feb. In fact, I think I’ll go buy a couple shares right now.

I jumped up this morning, from 24th place onto the first page (20th place)!

I went from -4.25% to -1.82%.

It’s been a good morning :slight_smile: :smiley: :slight_smile: :smiley:

It wonl let me sell shares!!! argh!!

I just joined, and I’ve already made a couple of ill-advised purchases.

This stock market is scary. I just looked up the company I worked for up until last year. They have plummeted without me.:wink: [The symbol is KEA in case you want a cheap and probably worthless tech stock.]

Did any of us really need another part-time obsession?

Prepare to eat dust people!

I’m in and ready to rock.

Great idea sdimbert.

A very special thanks to Opengrave for directing me to this site.

It’s a nice way to track the ebb and flow of different stocks.

The scary thing is that threre are only 4 people who have made trades who have any kind of positive gain right now. everyone else is merely getting money off interest, or losing money.

I should of known that picking the same stocks they talk about in “Boiler Room” wasn’t such a good idea.
