Tell me about it, I went so far as to buy Exxon short, and had to dump it for a decent sized loss. It's my optimistic side still wanting to believe in the oil bubble.

I am trying to join the game. I assume it takes a day to join since I tried to join and i still am not in the game yet. I created a profile but I will be honest, I have no idea what I am doing so maybe some of you could send me in the right path to start out. Looks very interesting and fun

Whoo-hoo! In the black for the first time ever!

I was in last place not so long ago.

I've had an excellent 2 days. Put my faith into CWTR (Coldwater Clothing) as several other specialized retailers announced better than expected earnings and its up almost 20% in 2 days. Not quite back in the black (or green in this case) yet.

It's hard for me to figure out what's going to do well the next 90 days. It would be a lot easier if I had 2-5 years to work with this money.

I just hope thunderdave is careful how he invests some of that 5 million in credits he now has........

He has not been a very wise investor (Oil Baron) in this game......

I haven't had time to mess with the Virtual game when I'm earning credits at such a rapid rate on CF.

I'm about ready to jump out the window.

How the hell did you get so many credits??

Virtual I'm back....and I was losing my butt was so busy at work couldnt look at the markets and now somehow I'm in first!

Funny.......I sold everything the other day, and I moved up a place. Perhaps I should hold on to my money! Actually, I've been too busy to mess with it this week, but I have a new strategy going. We'll see how long this one takes to send my portfolio down in a huge, twisted, fiery ball of wreckage

The big question is whether anyone will finish in the black.

When I first started I was trying to be smart a diversify the portfolio. Now I'm playing it like I'm in Vegas.

Not unless we own a oil company.......

Well there is what happens when you play the "put it all on black" method. Down 5% in one day when the rest of the market is up. Dropped from 2nd to 6th in one day. My game is over.

4429 mcc · 06-23-2008, 08:23 PM
