What is the interest rate and limit on the credit?

4% interest paid to YOU if you have a positive balance.
6% interest paid to the BANK if you have a negative balance.

Credit limit = purchasing power, which can only be seen when making a trade.

OT has fallen to last place and mradoc has come out of no where with a big lead.

Ha, mradoc went long on AAPL this morning, and I just shorted it a few minutes ago. Hope he sells pretty quick while it's on its temporary high.

Hey everyone!

I finally decided to make a forum account after my surprise success today.

I've been a Ron Paul supporter since last fall and I have been reading these forums since around January.

Kludge, I took your advice and ended up selling when AAPL was around 171 after it had hit 172 and fell. Turns out it closed at 174.68 AHHH. Crazy day for Apple. I still did fine with TLM and CIR, though.

I wish I had put some real money in AAPL today!

 

[Kludge]

My timing was pretty shitty. I became greedy and decided to wait longer to see if it could take a loss for the day. Chart was making me optimistic.

I made about $800 on GLD today. Unfortunately I was short AAPL so that wiped out any positive ground I had for today.

I'm taking a (sort of) long term approach so I'm not too worried about it. I do wish we could trade options, I'd be much more active.

Thanks, just figured that out....sorry if that's been answered before, long thread.

Now that the niceties are out of the way, prepare to give up that lead Kludge. Smiley Gladhands has entered the ring.

This is really cool. I've always wanted to play the market.
good way to learn. I have no idea what most things are ie sell short etc.
lucky for me it's not real money

 

[malkusm]

Hell yeah....GLD up today, AAPL down big....my new acquisition didn't do so well on day one but I'm confident in it...

I think they hear me coming...

Investopedia.com has it's own stock market simulator. I thinks it's better than Market Watch's Virtual Stock Exchange
