I remember there was a stock challenge a few years ago, but everyone lost interest because it dragged on for quite some time.

Would anyone be interested in doing another, but only for a month or so?

I'm annoyed that I don't have the time to trade these while at work. My phone is so slow and half the time the site doesn't work.

I wish we could trade during after hours. I don't wake up early enough and miss half the trading day.

I'm at work all day watching the markets but can't get on to trade or do anything. Not sure what's worse.

You probably sold after trading closed, in which case it'll show up when trading opens tomorrow

I sold at 10 today, showed up about an hour ago though. I'm guessing theres a delay on high volume.

good call on go pro, I was gonna buy Groupon a couple days ago but didn't clearly i should have. I get up when the market is already halfway through the day so i pretty much do all my trading after hours and have to wait till the next day damn west coast.

Earnings man. Gotta play the earnings. Just look at aftermarket announcments, buy the companies you think will be strong before the close, sell when you get up. If you did that with GoPro, Groupon, Linkedin, or Expedia(I think) they were all up +10%.

Ya I've been trying to keep up on them but been busy. still did ok up almost 4% today first time doing this so I'm pretty pleased overall with where I'm at. Im going to take the Canadian Securities Course (cdc) to learn this more in-depth and pad the resume.

Then hit Ctrl+F and type the word After.. Go through them all and see what companies you like.

You can also do the same thing for the following day, just search Before instead of After.






Sooo... I won the first one?? Since today was the final trading day and I was the top. (Not counting the dude who glitched AAPL to 7 mil)

Congrats dude! I came a decently close second. This was fun guys, gave me something to do while being bored at work. Not planning to go into finance but it's always good to know what's going on in other industries.
