thank you!!


One thing though...being from north of the border...the only 'zip' code I have is on the inside of my jeans...it doesn't seem to work...sometimes b.s. works for me...it didn't. So...What's a really good 'zip' code I could use to appease the VSE gods?

thank you!


I am ...smokin' smsab

Man I love this game, but what is with the 20 minute delay? I tried to sell a stock when I was up over 100K. By the time the stock sold, I had lost 30K. A 130K swing in 20 minutes...

Yeah. When "live" stock updates first came out, they came out in 20 minute delays. My only guess is the benefit of instant updates is offset by the processing power it would take to update all of the stocks on the different exchanges? Or, perhaps it just takes 20 minutes to run all of the updates for all of the stocks? Or, it is just "what we get" for free?

It seems all the sites (google, yahoo, etc) all run with that 20 minute delay. Looks like you have to pay money for an actual day trading site to get real time. I so badly want to open up an etrade style account, but its scary business when your hard earned cash is on the line. Some of the moves up or down make no sense sometimes

I think Im looking to have a huge windfall. Not sure how the BSC buy out by JP Morgan at $2 a share will work, but I rolled the dice, and have my whole portfolio shorting BSC right now.
