It does that for me every once and a while too. No clue why.

i'm gonna try it out after lunch...the stock i own is quite different than yours...coming in at a whopping 1.28 per share

ssigmanstinks · January 29th, 2008, 12:06 PM

which stock is that?

ssigmanstinks · January 29th, 2008, 12:11 PM

just tried it with XM radio and it doesn't work so well, then again they've been dealing with a buyout all year so maybe that's introduced some volitility.

Saw this at thetradinggoddess.com today, thought I'd share with you guys, it's pretty funny:
"Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest, and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort.

He further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms.

The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it! The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 ! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each."

The villagers rounded up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere! Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works"

You made my point better than I ever could.

ssigmanstinks · January 30th, 2008, 08:18 AM

so wait, are you saying I should invest in Monkeys? or monkey herders??? so confused.

My outlook is this; while many people can make some money playing the market the system is rigged to favor the really big boys. In a very simplistic comparison, think of the Duke Brothers in the movie Trading Places. For a real world comparison research Joseph Kennedy Sr. and his actions before and during the Great Depression.
