I do think we are headed for a short-term correction. I sold all my (real-world) WFC and FAS earlier in the week, and my QLD last week. I bought some Bank of America September puts today. I've bought longer term calls as well, though...I think any pullback will be used as a chance for anyone who's missed this run to jump in.

Well, you earned bugger all.  Your fake money, on the other hand, earned almost $6k - jammy git.

What can I say? I'm good at pvp. If this were real money however I'd be down there with Thudz or hiding under Slamz's mattress with his money.

If this were real money I wouldn't have it in the market. It would be where all my money is..guns, ammo and supplies.

This guy has a slightly different estimate. 1000 banks in the next 24 months.

Perhaps they won't print more money. As of two weeks ago it is bankrupt and the $500 billion dollar credit extension never made it out of committee.

Looks like the begining of a retracement and possible market rollover... yay. Crappy for those not in the know, $$$ for those in the know.
I think my options account is up about 18% in the last week as a ton of stokcs began and came out of all these consolidation patterns.

First solar just struck a tentative deal with china to make the largest solar farm in the world. Wonder if that helped my stock.

Latest numbers:
Griz makes a charge for the top, but Maul holds on by a sliver. Hoof is the big winner, shooting up $20k thanks to his sin-city stock. Thudz, meanwhile, continues to have...issues. Should have stuck to his guns (stocks).

And I did process your and amins trades before today's numbers (you got $5.12 rather than $4.98 for IFNNY, since I processed at the end of the next working day).

And the latest again:
Maul keeps chugging. I finally get back in the top 4. And Dustie has the biggest move of the month as WFC kicks into high gear. And Thudz...well, we won't talk about Thudz.

I'm surprised I survived the last two weeks so well. Thanks for the updates Grieve. I know next to nothing about this stuff but I'm learning a lot from tracking it and from your discourse.

I'm surprised you're beating me so badly. Do you want to manage my money?

I'd say we're in the same pack and an investor would do well to invest with both of us.
