Hey black_wing.
I have an open account, age 20.
Do you think I can ask you couple questions on msn?
My pinwheel fam is 628 and I am number3 in the fam.
And btw, I made some money on citi 
. Pretty good slump on March - thats when I brought my shares.
where is in IC?
gladiator - are you playing the stocks with real money?
woo 3 of my issues are up nicely. The rest are all sadly down. I might do some puts on those, they have to go up.
btw when is Xerium supposed to go up? lol 
Good thing I only have 1500 there.
My highest growth: 4.74%
um I will try to buy some XRM tomorrow if it will let me, I'm sure it's bound to go up. My IFC is 6.69%
I pick by going to nyse.com and finding the biggest advances but that burnt me with MTL, down 3.54% and falling like a load of Russian steel. Stupid country's gone to hell in a handbasket. <boris badinov accent> Is gut think Stalin is not alive!
raven it's at investopedia.com
make sure you pick a game
yell 
XRM is costing me over 2 grand lol
and no ravens claw, it's an online simulator..i'm part of a competition at school
Hey I've had it less than a day and lost a thousand I think
Btw thinking it over I doubt Stalin would have sold shares in Russian steel....
Last I checked Citibank made some profit About time sez I
hey can someone tell me something
i am trying to buy a penny stock; so the market price is 11 cents on google and on anything that tells you the price.
so i called and TRIED to place the order; and they tell me that you have to like buy at 13 cents; they said some stuff but i couldnt remember
does anyone know why this is happening?
the penny stock has low trade volume
who did you call to place the sell order with?
yeah a lotta places don't do penny stocks, i think
that's like almost a guranteed profit
Raven, Probably the spread.
The issue with the market is this - there are two prices, a bid and an ask.
The bid is the price which floor traders buy (low), and the ask is the price at which they sell (high).
You however, buy at the ask (high), and sell at the bid (low).
There is a spread there, and that is how they make their money.
Google, and everything else, list the quotes at the bid - but remember, you pay the ask.
So in this case, the bid (the price at which you sell, they buy) is 11 cents, the ask (where they sell, and you buy) is 13 cents.
In larger stocks, you won't notice this because the spread is still 2 cents or at least something much smaller in percentage terms than 11 - 13
Just like our little IC market, except here, we get to be the floor traders, not the second-handers who have to beat a spread as well.
god damn - well that kills a lot for the stock
what would you say the volume should be in a penny stock so that the spread isn't big at all.
Since it is a penny stock - i am asking what volume does it have to be to have spread = 0
ok now only two of my issues are down, I am up 7.7k atm and I seem to be doing rather well
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWOOOO

I like how guys like BW put their own cash into American companies, and share in the growth, and then our govt insists they "give something back" at tax time

and then i think yahoo's gotta take it
(although i want both companies to gert screwed over, cuz i'm a fan of google )
