You're doing a great job. I'm still in there, but can't open my portfolio and the crew at marketwatch are supposed to be doing something about it. Pyroteknikid is there making a few trades. I also saw a couple other players as well. I just made 808 trades (809 now, just stacking up more C shares) to see what $46 billion gets me. It took just a few days to make all the bets .

On the real though, every time I see the market going up and up, I get a little chill in my stomach. The last time this happened, the whole world felt the aftermath and we are still feeling it. I will see what will happened in the upcoming months.

Yeah, who is that? That's the only other one I've seen make any trades. Scarletboa has been doing well, but he hasn't traded #$%^ since July 09 lol.

Your port is crazy. Maybe you should just call up Bernake and see if you can just buy Citi outright

Were you able to see my portfolio? I can't go in there, it gives me an error, but I can go into other portfolios to check them out.

I like to lay low and not look for a lot of attention. If I did run any of those public traded companies though, they would be in a much better position.

That's me!

I used my email name instead of my RC-M name...

@W-N?: Hey man, good to see thats you. You've been working your way up really well

Man, I'm smiling again today. Things are going great. That CPE I nearly went all in on @~$4 continues to run like a raped ape, up another 12% today and closing in on $8. Broke $12M now, and I don't think its nearly done. Have to watch out for those growing risks tho higher things go.

I have a good amt of this in RL I liked it so much, tho not nearly so aggressive. Goddam it, considered buying some $5 options for 0.10 when I started looking at it, but never did... If I could make money like this in RL things would be great. lol
That or I'd be broke by next year!

Anyways, happy Friday!

Oh boy. Lets see what the coming days will bring us.

Holy hell, what an ugly last few days. I don't even want to open my portfolio.
I pretty much quit playing when you quit, and some of the things I had in there were stocks not to be left unchecked and prolly have come off heavily.

Crazy days indeed. I think the stock market is pretty much worthless nowadays. Everything being run by super intelligent computers, financial gods and prices of stocks with no real value. They're saying this was an error, my a@#, it was clearly the financial giants telling us they can do this anytime they feel like it. Don't blame another country's f&^% up for the market to be down, I don't buy that at all. I still look at a stock like it should be looked at, does the company sell a product and if it's profiting on its product? Plain and simple. I don't fall for the, "we are waiting for FDA approval" or "we are not profiting, but our batteries are really revolutionary and we stole the technology from this other company. We are in the Green Technology though, so buy our stock." I hope there's an end to this nonsense soon or we'll all be .

Let me know what you think is going on.

Did you see what gold did?

I'm having the same problem. Mine started when I bought over 800 stocks and I guess their side can't hold all the streaming data.

AONE....My goodness.

OK, hit my high of around $12M back in Apr. Haven't touched a thing since.

Currently its @ $7.8M. I'm not going to touch it and just compare doing nothing to the RL actions above of selling to cash. Will it burn? Or will it bounce off of a bottom from panic selling and perform ok? Not a perfect test of much, just my own curiosity.
