I was going to try and watch c-span for maybe a half hour a day and try to get a simple understanding of the market and whats hot and whats not.

Other then that Im screwed. Can I quit now? I'll take my $100,000 in small bills please laser.

2 to 1 the winner is the guy who forgot he signed up, not losing any money at all.

Yeah.... that guy....

I was telling a girl I work with about signing up for this game, and she said she'd lend me a book he'd written that supposedly is a big help in getting to understand this stuff.

Before I bother reading it, is this guy a complete whackjob? Or is his advice generally sound?

As good as any. Personally, I like The Motley Fool

http://www.fool.com

If you really want to get into stocks for real, this is as good a time as any, and alot better than it has been. Tech stocks are earning more now than they did during the dot.com boom in the 90s. Many are still undervalued and are getting ready to explode. Not just tech stuff, but all across the board you have companies that are jumping into the 21st century with both feet and not looking back. In the next year things like Tivo and sattelite radio are going to absolutely go crazy. The key is knowing when to get rid of stuff like that. I lost my prettythang during the last crash. Tied too much of my 401k to stocks and lost big. But things are really looking up now.

A subscription to the Wall Street Journal doesnt hurt either. An e-subscription is 5 bucks a month and gives you access to all their investor info plus all the articles in the paper version. Some of their archive stories cost, but 99.9% of what I want is covered by my $5. Just a thought.

Nash, if you check out his website, there's a link to another website which keeps track of the stocks that Cramer suggests and how well they do. I'm going to try following his advice, just to see where it goes.

I can't find the website right now. Searching the internet with a 56k is a PITA.

Any chance of moving the start date up to the 10th?.... I'll be on the road next week to DC.

Cool - I'm gonna check it out. Thanks for the tips!

Not sure the details of how the game works, but can you open the game on sunday, that way I can place my orders for exection first thing Monday? That is if they'll allow stuff like that.

lasersailor184 · « **Reply #59 on:** June 10, 2006, 02:20:32 PM »

Well, the opening date is set in stone. I cannot change it at all. Plus I wouldn't be able to change it to sunday anyway. The game has to start and finish on a trading day.
