Elephant :
you might get a kraap mark for your choice this time of which stock to invest in and it sounds like it was very important to you, but on a positive note, it IS just virtual money and I'm hoping your learning a lot of valuable lessons from this exercise.
As a relatively new investor (since last october) I've learned a lot and in my case it cost me Real money for some of those lessons.
1. If a stock goes down don't panic sell.
2. If you wait long enough most stocks come back up.
3. Many of here are little fish and the big fish are hungry for our money and will say most anything to feed on us.
4. Much of this is one big Game and there are plenty of huge egos here.
5. Take time to learn who you can trust and who not to trust.
6. Even when you trust someone , in the end it is You who is making the final choice of when to buy or sell a stock period!
7. Bashes and pumpers. Google it. : )
8. Never play with more Real money than you can afford to lose.
9. Lots of good info online for the new investor to bring you up to speed on what your getting into.
10. Maybe watch the movie GOLD. It's about a company called Bre-X. I almost bought into it but held back due to living paycheck to paycheck at the time. Unfortunately some of my friends had the funds and we'll lost their funds.
Just my 2 secs for what it's worth.
