I think the problem is that some people panic when something goes wrong. We're coming into day 3 of our game, and people have made a lot of transactions.

3 Days in and someone has made over 30 transactions *COUGH MACMAW COUGH*. And looking towards the bottom of the rankings (hehe) I see 49 Transactions for DJ111, 64 for jebus (i'm actually impressed), and 38 for Fury.

Bastige !

I won't lie. I saw it on your portfolio, it looked good, so I bought it.

It saved me from a small hit I took on Apple & Amazon. I geuss I jumped in too late after Apple's announcement it had replaced beer as the #1 must-have on college campuses. Oh well, tommorrow is another day... and I'm unloading CASY first thing

64 that is nothing. I didnt know what have the stuff ment on the first day. On the second day i was at work. Today I made some really stupid moves.

As you can see i have no patience. I need to work on that with the stock market. My friends is a portfolo manager for a bank and she is laughing at some of the stupid stuff i did.

Like i said i didnt know what i was doing.

I thought Baxter, abbot, and Exxon would bring me to the win. Well i would have been golden if i kept them and didnt short sell them on the first day.

Remember Jebus, every transaction costs you a commission fee. 64 transactions at 29.95 each, means you put $1916.80 in commission alone. That is more then half of the money you are down from 100,000.

chaos theory, strange attractors, pi

I surfed around for an hour or two one night. Looked up random companies in every industry and glanced at their performance and charts. I had a good feeling about a few, so I went for it. I gambled on Home Depot... thinking Alberto might cause some damage, but that failed and I sold it after a few cents gain Tuesday morning. For some reason I saw some northern iron company and bought some. Absolutely no idea where CASY came from. I think it was some random financial website, motley fool or thestreet.com...

shrug... I see a graph, I go back a few months, years, maybe a decade. If it feels right I go for it

check the trends, check the news and go nuts.

Yeah... out of everything I've learned and saw this last week, that seems to be as good a method as any.

I think I have to start trusting my insticts and just dive in.
