However, I've had a few pay off pretty well recently (tho not like Luc's Juniper.) The GRMH I had been trying to accumulate (and often accidently sold when meant to buy when the error screen popped up I was over the volume limit reverted back to the default of "sell"  ) took off recently from $2 to $3.4 and moving. Since I'm just trying to build on margin, it way work better as I don't have to worry about cashing out so quickly.
I have a bit of this in real life. A silly low number of shares, but maybe I'll cash them out here a bit and buy myself a 1527 for my Savage XL.

I got lucky.
I wish this game was a little better, but it's much better then another one that I'm playing. I like to play high risk stocks as they can sometimes do crazy things. Lehman for example, I've bought it at $0.03, $0.04 and $0.05, but since I hold more at $0.05, that's where I stand with it. I now have to make a decision if I should sell WAMUQ or keep it and this is where the fun begins
. If this game was much closer to real life, it would be awesome. I don't like the 20min delay specially when you're trying to sell a stock. My friend was up nice with Lehman and he sold it, but with the 20min delay he lost over $300K.
