My rationale is that if you added up all those pennies and nickels, you couldn't even use it to cover the cost of having someone else deal with it.

So why should I?

A couple of years ago I had a change jar that had accumulated quite the collection of quarters, dimes, nickles and pennies. It weighed a TON. I took it to my credit union (they'll sort it and cash it for free). I was expecting 25, maybe 30 bucks back. When the teller came back with the receipt she said, "And how would you like your $88.45?"

CHA-CHING!!!!

That's a lot of tamales, yo.

You can use them as revenge on annoying store or bank clerks. At least here they must accept payments in any kind of legal currency, so people have been known to use bags full of cent coins to protest what they considered unfair charges, fees, etc...

I have a jarrrr that we put in the nursery when Mia was born. When its full of change and buttons we take it to the bank. When she eventually turns 18 she should have abit.

anyways.. markets are slowly up so far after 30 mins of trading. its not up much so i belive it will continue up slow today and not the yoyo stuff that has been going on lately. my portfolio is up 1,17%

Boy, all three of my origanal investments took a nosedive. Losing my thousands a day. Took a lose and got my money back.

I did somthing today that i normally dont do.. I sold a stock at a great loss. I then bought some other stock in PDR just before the numbers from the US came in.

I ended the day up 6% and im in the black again if only by a mere 0,5%. Yay OIL!

This means that over the last month I have beaten the marked and made money while the market is down a total of 12 % since may 11.

I suck horribly at this stuff. In fact, I should invest in real oil right now and within a week I'm pretty sure that the market will reach its lowest level of the decade.

But reading this thread is great fun. You wannabe Rockefellers crack me up

You guys that play that game try this...

When you get close to closing time at the exchange buy afew in the share that has gone down the most that day and see what happens the following day.

You will make money.

I do it, but since its real money i dont always have free capital. I would say it works 75% of the time. Make sure you have the time to place a sell order before it closes tho. The stock has prolly been specualted in and the pros and funds will make it rise in the moring just so they can dump it at a profit.

Just did that actually Nilsen. Since it's not my money, I grabbed 75k in stocks on Bayer. Was down -7.45% when I picked it up. iirc, they just chased Merck out of a takeover deal on another company. It's at 37.90, but had a 52wk hi of 46.62 (last month) & a 52wk low of 32 (last year). I think it's got a 70/30 chance of making at least 1 or 2 bucks per share. Just have to keep sitting on it now that I'm comitted.

Today looks good so far!

9 out of the top 10 players are those who risked themselves and bought stock.

I was down at the end of yesterday, but some of my stocks rebounded. Others are taking a nosedive. I'm going to hold onto the flaming lala headed for the dirt at Mach 2 because I believe it's going to go up.

I've switched ranks with Laser & Vort 5 times in the last hour so far.

I think Reschke holds the record. He went from number 3 down to 30 yesterday, and is now back in the top 5.

Just call him Yo yo.
