I'm tempted to re-fund my Scottrade account

. Of course, when doing it for reals, I turned $500 into about $80 in an amazingly short amount of time.

Buying into a financially sound company that is one of the top ten losers of the day seems to work about 80% of the time. Good for 2-3% at a time anyway.

Sweet! I should cash out. In a couple of weeks, I've gone from 2nd to 10th, back to 2nd.

I am officially starting to light my cigars with pretend $100 bills.

Anybody that can get 104% return on his investment should......

isucyfan · 08-12-2008, 12:43 PM

So much for being in positive territory...

I've lost 22% this morning.

dmclone · 08-12-2008, 12:48 PM

I'm going to do everything in my power to try and break even in the next 2 weeks. I've went from 1st to last and now I'm in the middle.

Boy did I take it in the shorts today! I'm hoping that it bounces in the morning, or I am going to have to drop that pig and take my loss.

Congrats to Cyclonepride........

A 61% + on your investment over 90 days is AWESOME!

I'll take my 2nd place finish at 7.7%....only 53% behind the Master.

-2.78%

I was strong for the 1st month but then got greedy.

That was a really fun game, glad we got to do that, it filled up some idle time for me. Looks like my strategy kind of foundered at the end, so I think I'll try it for a few more months before doing anything real. Good game guys!
