All right, partly because I was curious about how some of you will perform, I went ahead and started....

The SDN Pharmacy Stock Market Challenge!

Click on this link, register (and use your SDN screen name so we know who you are), and make trades! Simple as that.

There are no prizes, no fees, just bragging rights on here. The game starts NOW and runs through May 16, 2008. If you're new to trading, don't be intimidated...remember, it's fake money anyway, so have fun. Check in here from time to time for market comments and other cheerful banter.

So what will you do...dump all of your money into big pharma? Sink $100k into your favorite retail chain? Will Epic prove his business acumen? Will SpirivaSunrise's pictures be as good as her portfolio? Will OldTimer put half his cash into CVS? Join and find out!

**though this game is open to the public, only SDN Pharmacy users please, thank you!

How do you have time to be chasing penny stocks? I thought you were busy chasing away drug reps!

So start when you're done with finals. Show'im up.😀

Yeah? You got a top secret day trading methodology you would like to share with us?

 

[Epic]

Ehh... you guys can probably look at what I did... I took a stock that went from $0.32 to $0.27 today and made bulk of my ernings today.

I actually lost 3% today by clicking "buy" instead of "sell"

That was a bonehead move. But I won't complain with 6%+ gain when there wasn't much movement in the market.

 

[psychoandy]

I joined, and I'm gonna take my brother/epic's strategy of sniping, along with owning a diversified portfolio and seeing how well this goes.

 

[confettiflyer]

Oh boy here we go...dang I need internet access during the day, I've been executing all my trades after hours and letting the market ride all day then coming home to see what happened.

I think I just fed the addiction of about three of you on here...oh noooo.

P.S. I saw Epic's taking the lead coming from a mile away...can someone else please jump in and take him down? Lure him out to the golf course on a market up day and someone dump their portfolio into a high profile IPO or something, c'mon...

 

[SpirivaSunrise]

I flubbed up too...in case anyone's wondering, you can't cancel a trade within the 20 minute window, so don't bother trying. 😛 Trying to be slick selling short. I would never really do it, but figured I'll try with play money.

And day traders must have nerves of steel...

 

[mustang sally]

What happened to you, Epic? You fell kinda far from the no. 1 spot.

It's that 20 minute thing. I was shorting a stock...and wouldn't freaking sell because of 20 minute delay stuff...and I took a blood bath... I missed out on 12% profit. This would've never happened in real life.. and 20 minutes make a lot of difference in daytrading.

Have you ever really tried selling short?

There are other ways to get his attention too

 

[Epic]

That program is BS... it doesn't sell or buy even if ordersare in place and the target prices are met. Many times it would just skip my orders....

I can't trade like that!

👎

 

[Tuck]

This program sucks 🙁

I put in 6 orders in 15 mins and none of them were executed...How do you daytrade if it won't even let you see what you are trading? Is there some way of changing the settings to make it at least somewhat instantaneous like real trading?

Yeah...I'm trying to figure it out too. Some of my transactions went through in a few minutes, and some go 20 minutes +.

But the list/stop price doesn't always work.

Oh well, what I do know is I spent wayyyy too much time looking at this at work today. 😳

 

[nnguyenc]

who cares....i'm rank #1

 

[JerryPharmD]

I have little to no stock experience but I'm gonna play for ****s and giggles 😀

edited to add: EtOH makes spending money you don't have easy and fun

 

[Epic]

who cares....i'm rank #1

That's cuz I dropped out. I climbed back to #1 then dropped out.

 

[FruitFly]

OK folks, I joined!

 

[confettiflyer]

Alright, made my selections for Monday.

And I dropped the order minimum down to $.20, haha...anyway, let's see where this market goes tomorrow.

 

[acetyl]

Alright, enough of this dead last stuff...it's time to make some monies!!

 

[psychoandy]

Jeez, am I the only one not putting all of my eggs into one sole stock? It seems like everyone is either putting their money into google, apple, berkshire hathaway (lulz), or freakin penny stocks.
