Stock Market Endeavor
Posted on 14 May 2006
I started playing with stocks around the start of 2006, basically on impluse. I had read about the stock market (i.e. all the parameters, terms, dynamics, etc.) but figured it’s probably a lot more meaningful and effective if I just dive in and learn along the way.
So i started. So far I’m pretty conservative, I’m gradually allocating more funds toward my stock portfolio as I become more knowledgeable and confident. The Yahoo-Finance box in the right column of my blog shows the stocks that I currently own (or watching). I’ve tasted some success (portfolio history is all in the plus) so I’m driven to continue.
I’ll be writing more about my stocks as I get more involved.
Cheers!

If you really want to try your hands at playing the stock market and do a realtime stock market simulation i.e. paper trading, use stockalicious.com instead. They are better for this purpose. Here’s my portfolio for reference: http://www.stockalicious.com/stock_journal/223

Interesting site greg, thanks for the resource. So this is 100% simulation, no actual trading happening on the site correct? I suppose one could use it just to track progress on actual trading too…

Yes. that’s right. there’s no actual trading at all. You just “pretend” to buy and sell stock and the site will keep track of the performance of your portfolio. Yup. you could also use it to track the progress of actual trading.
I use it to track the performance of some of my crazy trading ideas.
Well, as you can see from my portfolio link (http://www.stockalicious.com/stock_journal/223/charts), some of my ideas are crazily unprofitable. :)
Wouldn’t want to stake real money before testing it out for some period.

You could also embed the portfolio in your blog, like what you did with the yahoo portfolio. (although i’ve never tried this before since i don’t have a blog)
