Hehe, you wound up in the same spot as me...

I was totally prepared....

I got 3/4 of the way through Jack Cramer's 'Real Money' this weekend, I've been scouring the internet for info (theStreet, Motley etc.), I threw on CNBC as soon as I woke up this morning.....

I WAS READY TO GO!

But.... Nothing made sense. Totally frustrating. Everything looked like complete ass. There was no way I was going to touch anything today. In all likelihood it's gonna be two or more weeks before I take the plunge.

I'll gladly take the meager interest on my cash for the time being.

I've got a trade set for tomorrow's opening bell. We'll see what it does.
This is definitely going to be an interesting game with the crapper the market is heading down. I'm betting it's going to be small unknown stocks that get any significant gains this month.

"Btw, it keeps track of how many transactions you have. Everyone who doesn't make one is not in the running."

Is that a rule?

The game gives you interest on cash balances. Surely not trading and collecting interest is a valid tactic?

I'm waiting for about 2 weeks into it. That should put the people that are not-so-good well at the bottom of the totem pole. Then it's a fun game of high-risk catchup with the leaders.

Hell, it's not my money

The market is a mess right now. I'm not buying squat until things calm down.

I'd like to put some funds into bonds or govt T-Bills or even on deposit but the only option is to buy stock.

Hell I forgot it started and was trying to get on to buy some Intel stock just now and my net connection hammered into the ground. It looks like a good deal.

Finally got Intel, AMD, Merck and Fox News. So we will see what is happening over the next few days.

You guys should be glad its only a game... the last 3 days have been hell on earth for me in real trading

Started to climb abit before end of trading today so hopefully that trend continues tomorrow and beyond. Numbers in the US are looking up and Europe responded well before closing.

Total losses so far are just under 8000 USD but I have gotten some cheap stock today so...

After beeing well on the plus side after i started my daytrading ventures in early may i am now total just over 2000 in red. Many have done far worse.
