So I just invested $100 in the stockmarket. Right now I can buy 4 of you a beer.

[LynneSin]

Mind you, don't pick anything fancy or it would be 3 of you who I could buy a beer

[azmouse]

1. I'd be happy with a cup of black coffee.

Good luck with the stock! :)

[LynneSin]

3. With my profits right now I could buy 16 people a cup of coffee from McDonalds

nothing fancy please

This is fun. And I'm just putting money in there I can survive if I lose.

2. uh oh...You will never be the same again!

*sorry inside family joke that a certain relative was never the same person after getting involved in the stock market....:rofl:

[LynneSin]

4. yeah, it almost got back down to what I invested but coming back again

ugh this is nervewracking

[madinmaryland]

5. Way to go, Gordon Gekko!!

:D

[LynneSin]

8. Just for that you are out of the running to be one of the 4 people I buy a beer for

SO THERE!

6. I know how to make a small fortune in the market

[seemunkee]

9. Start with a large fortune?

:shrug:

[av8rdave]

16. Guess I'm not the only one that knows the secret!

[Jamastiene]

7. I want Dr Pepper instead.

How many 20 oz. Dr Peppers can you buy?

[KamaAina]

10. Is Dogfish too fancy?

Definitely one of the good things about Delaware, along with the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Vice-Presidential Porch and Museum. :-)

11. Did you go with one of the

eTrade-type do-it-yourself sites? Sounds interesting...

[LynneSin]

12. I used sharebuilder - you can pay $5 extra to get your money in right away

Thing is, don't spend more than you can afford to lose. And we're working with some of these big name corps in the news like Citibank, Ford, GM, Bank of America, etc. etc. With shares at $2 for some of these it's only going to go up. My friend started Friday with Citibank and with the share more than doubling he's made a few hundred dollars.

It's interesting - I'm not much of a gambler but this is fun.

BTW, it was $15 to start my account total. $10 if I didn't do the rush job.

13. I could cry in the beer you bought me

and tell you how much I've lost.

[LynneSin]

14. trust me, I've seen my retirement plan

:cry:

[Lil Missy]

15. A glass of milk would be good for me. I like milk.

[LynneSin]

17. Well that's good because all I can afford is one

it was fun - interesting to say the least
