Late to the game, but I'd like to join in.  Says I need a password or some such.

If Exxon/Mobile keeps diving, I might have to think about investing in it irl.  I thought 84 was a good price, and it's heading back down near there again already...

I really thought that Yahoo would adjust back to 29 or so.  I'm starting to think I was sadly mistaken.

I don't think I'll be messing with tech stocks. Most of the dependable stuff is outrageously expensive, and the rest is a rollercoaster ride. The catalyst behind good tech stocks is "next big thing" syndrome. And you never know what the fuck the analysts are thinking what that next big thing may be. Usually it's something totally undeserving of attention (DivX or Classmates.com, for example), while the good companies get discarded for the smallest things.

I'd suggest not going nuts selling your stocks. Just wait for the market to stabilize a bit.  smiley

But yeah, today's figures look pretty terrible for me.

Yah, I'm doin' good....

Actually, wouldn't be bad if I could gain a little on that GOOG stock and either cut my losses or break even.

Here comes a big rebound this morning. CSCO is already up almost a full dollar. Those of you holding onto techs might wish to make a move closer to noon or 3:00ish today.

Cheers, hope the gains are nice!  awesome, for real

A rather interesting article which might complicate matters for the banks.

Basically since so many mortgages have been put into pools, resold, repackaged and sold again if someone stops paying their mortgage how exactly can the business forclose when the rights to that asset are spread all over the place.

Primedia is a ROCKSTAR today. I wish I'd cmlancased it and weighted more heavily in a buy.

Lol, I've been playing for a shorter time than anyone, and already top in transactions. I'm finicky. Or is "bear-ish" the word?

Actually, I should have sold more today. I was ranked 2nd behind cmlancas for a bit, then one of my stocks took a nosedive. Luckily, I'm still green.

If it's any consolation, the delay in trading seems to be like a great equalizer.  I've sold off stocks only to find that my sell price was considerably lower due to a 30 min delay in the actual transaction.  I guess it's added realism... but I'm not sure how much I like it.

What I'm having trouble finding (even though I haven't looked that hard) are resources that showcase upcoming conferences calls and earnings report so I can see which stocks are worth investing in for the short term.

Yeah. If if I could gather info sooner, I'd have jumped up at least 5% today with current stocks.

What the fuck. VSE fucking blows as a provider. It has fucked up two of my trades: Once with C long, and twice with PRM. It took a day and a half to process my sell order and it STILL HASN'T GONE THROUGH. PRM's gains have all but disappeared now.

Fuck.

I'm taking it real slow today. Just a few stocks in France Telecom. Easing up on everything else. I don't know what else to do for this week, and all stock exchanges are falling.
