Anyways what I am investing in
Intel
MSFT
NVDA
AMD
GOOG
AA
Coke
ZNGA
EXC
I am shorting Dell and CAT
Update** I am now up almost $10,000. Suck it.

Wish I was a Wall Street Elitist.. Then my only concern would be what to do with all my money.

I wanted somebody to invent laser surgery or plasma weaponry or something cool like that. Like fire some DT plasma at people causing them to explode into gore which'd be cool...

Made $1500 today, w/ over $60,000 non invested. I made a lot off of AA because I read insider trading reports.

Edited by Ozzy Onya A2Z: 4/24/2013 4:19:32 AMForget simulators, trade for real and learn valuable lessons. Donald Trump has been bankrupt a number of times and has the tenacity to make a come back every time. The last stock I sold out right was bought at $5.40 a share and cashed in at $38.90 a share. It was a longer term investment and I don't really go for short term gains. If you want to do that just pony up and international currency trade as a day trader, easier money but far riskier.

I did an investment game as part of a financial management class in college. My portfolio was dogging it so I just sold everything and bought AAPL. I ended up doing good enough to get extra credit.

I dont personally trade, but i have about 22k in a 401k with 13.5% of my check going to, and an inheritance in a portfolio with my family, that i put 2% into annually. I dont need to know how to do it, since we have two traders/financial advisers int he family.

Edited by A Good Troll: 4/23/2013 2:27:08 PMOP lucked into the NFLX stock pop after earnings. OP should also diversify out of tech, lest he take a bath since stocks in the same sectors have a tendency to move in tandem. BTW, updown.com gives you a million to use.

I wanted to invent a thing whereby you can do a thing but I can't remember what it was now...

A little bit over three years ago, I bought two hundred shares from Under Armour. Each share was worth right around 20 dollars back then. They are now worth 55 a share. I have made over 7000 dollars in profit off of that one company.

I downloaded an app for my iPhone a few months ago called Stock Wars which does the same thing, and it starts you off with $100,000. I'll post my portfolio: Total: $111,615.20 (+11.62%) Cash: $4,750.20 Equities: $106,865.00 (+10.67%) ACTG $23,610.00 (1000 shares) (+5.54% change today) (+8.4% change since I bought the shares) AMZN $16,134.00 (60 shares) (+2.03% change today) (+18.15% change since buy) DIS $31.295.00 (500 shares) (+.94% today) (+27.66% since buy) GOOG $8,079.00 (10 shares) (+.97% today) (+16.91% since buy) OII $27,747.00 (450 shares) (+1.67% today) (-2.99% since buy) I do enjoy living a dangerous, risky lifestyle.

I had a project like this in high school once. I forgot how much I won/lost but it was a lot of fun.

You need an account to play? This game sounds good though..

DYY DYY!

Google is falling off, and I think they'll be pretty stagnant until Google Glass is released. I'd probably invest in Intel once Haswell is hyped up. AMD and NVDA have some GPU's that are coming out soon, but look at the market. You have more people who care about bare bones processors than GPU's, not to mention the CPU and GPU are complimentary goods to begin with. I don't really see how you could go wrong with Intel if you time the investment right.

I'm no investor, but a day's trading doesn't really mean anything. Come back in 15 years.

You're shorting? That's really risky.

Edited by Funkbrotha10: 4/23/2013 4:06:47 AMhate to break it to you. those stock simulators are not realistic market environments at all. On the fundamental level. also the fact that there is no real risk involved of losing your actual cash. So people end up throwing their money around with no fear. Tell me what your returns are on IRL cash and then we will talk.

Most I've ever done was the investing market game thing, was pretty fun to play with friends/classmates.

The last time we played this game, on of my friends (game is fake by the way) invested 50,000 dollars. He came out with ~800% profits and with ~$4,000,000. I have no idea what kind of magician he is. To the point where our business teacher took him [I]out of the game[/I] because he was so far in the lead.

Serious post: Kikashi could you like, teach me the basics of stocks or just like give me an idea of what it's all about? I would love to learn and you've always seemed really knowledgeable on it.

Are you still hoping to be an entrepreneur?
