That makes two of us. I didn't sell my stock before the first 300 point drop a few weeks ago. I'm just gonna ride it out until I get back to even, and then "start" again.

Nick

PS - I made this post a sticky.

Are you going to do this again next year? I would really like to start at the beginning of the year next time.

Definitely will; I'll keep you posted. It will probably start on 2nd January, just because of the holidays.

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?
