is anyone else here in the stock market game?

[carolcat]

so one of my teachers got me in this stock market game (http://smgww.org ) and i'm told it's some kind of competition
but the problem is that i have no clue how the forget stocks work
all i know is green = good and you want to invest in stuff that grows

so does anyone else here participate in this thing that could give me some advice on it?

You wait for the stocks to sink, make sure you know that it will in the future rise back up, invest as much as you can, when it goes back up you sell for profit. It's basically an educated gambling game. Research.

this is my first time doing one
there's talk about the teams going out to the state capitol at some point for the game so i guess there's that
i dunno, it sounded fun and business-like

i've done a bit of research so far but not much
i'm just kind of treading lightly until i can figure stuff out with it

What stocks?

[Nomel]

Buy them when they're low but you think they could go up ie: they're about to release a product you think might be succesful, and sell the stocks when you think the company has reached it's all-time high.

the stock market is weird. I don't really comprehend it
like what are stocks? idk. as far as I know it's just this game that a lot of rich people play with real money
it just seems weird to me
one day I'm gonna buy one share of apple stock when it's low, and sell it after the next iPhone or iPad is released/announced

[DrenDran]

What stocks?

GSS is my main right now, no idea where it's about to go.
But I've invested in a few penny stocks, I don't really pay attention to them too closley, but if one of them suddenly skyrockets I'll get an alert.
PMCM //has done pretty badly since I bought it, but at the very least it's a legitmate company
SEEK
AMBS
KBLB
ITKH  //really regret ITKH and DPHS
DPHS

I'd suggest not buying apple, it's just going to go down from now on, apple has lost it's best worker and I doubt it will be even half as good at designing products as it was before

Also whats loving infuriating was that i was going to get my friend to invest in tesla ($30 a share at the time) and he ignored me, and now it's in the loving hundreds holy stuff dhdjsndbfj
