Anyone Here Want to Start a GB Stocks Group?

Alright i just started this up, I have never given stocks a second thought so i'll probably fail though :P

8th place and I didn't get a chance to short anything, not bad. F5 Networks came through good as expected . RIM pulled through nicely for me as well.
 
With real money I would normally never touch RIM, way to risky in todays market. I also put some in BP, something else I wouldn't normally put money into, fell through bad as expected.

Hehe, I really like this game :D

Got a stupid question here. I'm trying to buy stock in something, but every time I try it says:
 

Invalid Trade: Trade failed - No margin available This order did not execute because your account has insufficient buying power (or margin) remaining to execute the order. Since you have used up all the cash from your account, you are now buying securities via margin. Unfortunately, you do not have enough margin in your account.

" @crusader8463: You have -83,000 cash, and a limited buying power of 8.5k, how much are you trying to spend?  Either you need to sell stock to gain back cash, or you will only be able to buy about 8k worth of stocks from now on.  If you sold all your stocks in the morning, you'd have $100,949.39, but until then...you have no physical cash. "

Well, this should prove interesting. The top three seem to have exhausted their cash and are well into using their margin. I'm interested to see how that will work out in the long run, and if their stocks will drop enough at any point to force a margin call.  Far too risky a tactic for me, personally.
 
Can't say I did tremendously well yesterday, although a lot of that's a matter of commissions eating into my starting investments (and as well they should), especially since all my orders had limit restrictions. I'll probably leave everything as it stands now until the end of the week, and then make a judgment call on if anything should be dumped/bought at that point. I'm a little too focused on certain sectors, and I'd say a little too diverse in my portfolio for the time being. I also made the mistake of picking up some DGI shares in a moment of stupidity, thinking that turning them for a quick sale would be optimal but not taking fees into account.
 
Quite entertaining thus far, I'd say, at least for a stock simulation.

Sweet idea duder and good choice on the stock website.

Ugh, I'm constantly wondering about selling my under performing stocks, but I can't shake the "it'll get better tomorrow, just watch!" feeling. 
 
This is why my REAL portfolio is pretty conservative.

Lol, stock thread on Giant Bomb.One of the funniest things i ever saw.BTW I'm in.

I did pretty well considering I bought a ton of shares in a 3D company which I had intended as a joke but is actually turning a profit. Currently sitting in 4th feeling smug about this whole thing but really it just comes down to that idea of putting an idiot in the stock market and watch him profit even though he has no idea what he is doing.

I did a thing like this in high school once. I'll participate but I know nothing about the stock market really.

Awh the market doesn't open in the US for 4 hours or something. I guess I'll have to stay up tonight so I can buy some stocks.

wajajjaj 5th place, I like it.

....I don't get it, people who are playing with stocks for the first time are beating me.  I spent the last 4 years of my life learning law and finance...what am I doing wrong?  v_v 

My stocks are dropping like flies!

They'd better go up, or I'm looking at a huge loss today. Doubt I'll be in the lead when the market closes.
