ScubaCinci Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'm pretty sure I'd get fired if I participated in something like this (I work for an investment company) but it sounds like fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c7fx Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 we can only have two stocks at a time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anden Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 we can only have two stocks at a time?What makes you say that? I saw nothing in the game settings limiting your stocks but money and diversification. I am assuming you need at least two. If not I will change it in the game.

magley64 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I need to start thinking short term. Need to make money as fast as possible. That was my strategy, buy large volumes of cheap stocks and hope they go up more than down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-flores Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 So Ive been thinking about getting into the stock market game for real. This may help me out a bit to learn about investing.... I will be a late entry for sure but any videos or links to help get me started? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be a late entry for sure but any videos or links to help get me started? It's pretty self explanatory, buy stocks you expect to go up in value, sell them when they peak (or you think they peak) and buy more stocks you expect to go up in value...

Anden Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Same here but I was hopeing for a $.25 raise in prices. Who knew we were at post reccession highs. I'm betting I sell all my stocks off at the low for the day.I so want to do this with real money but I don't understand any of it. And youtube lessons don't help much. Either the lessons are dumbed down too much, or they are talking gibberish. As in way over my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
