In the past year and a half, I've decided to not overthink it. I just put it all in stocks that I was confident about and that I actually use (Apple, Canadian banks, pharmas and a few others) and I am very happy with the results.

I can't be bothered with bargain hunting and buying based on speculation these days. Most of us can't afford the elites like Amazon or Google at their current prices but affordable blue chips with dividends like the above represent safe and lucrative options.
I couldn't agree more 👍

Stumbled into this fun thread. Great read and enjoying it.

Might I suggest for anyone who wants to have a 'paper account' (fake money) and make this process easy to try one of the services available for exactly this - for me I enjoy experimenting with TradingView's paper account service - https://www.tradingview.com/

I apologize if someone already suggested this and I missed it catching up to this point.

Update for the week

At the moment, I am losing money on cryptocurrency and some on the regular stocks. But I still haven't sold it. I am still holding.

I bought a few stocks on December 3rd dip and sold on Tuesday December 7th.

I made just over 20K last week.

Sorry, forgot to use fake money.

Ohhh... most of us that frequent the business section also have money in the markets. Hence our interest in the business section. We all have real lives. Just sayin.

Also, some of us don't need to validate ourselves on the hooker board everytime we make a dime when the market goes up. Mostly because its arrogant and immature... but also because, people who feel the need to brag about money, anonymously, could be exaggerating. After all, talk is cheap.

Now, you're welcome to play to show us all what genius you are...

In the end, it's your risk tolerance and return expectations.

Fyi, you can buy fractional shares

The Stock Market Game was started at the wrong time just as the markets went down, just as I had predicted. ( https://terb.cc/xenforo/threads/stock-market-crypto-bubble.763513/ post #7 )
I suggest a re-start for 2022 with a running balance for every buy and sell to keep things honest.
That way we can keep the contest interesting.

BTW - I will stick to my prediction that there will be a series of tremors of 15-20% market pull backs in the next 18-24 months.

We can reset. I am still going to follow my original picks to see if I would have ever made money...

OK, reset for 2022. $10,000. to buy new stock or buy your old picks. I do not think much will happen between now and new years and even not much in the first few weeks. If we do not reset people will lose interest if they are in a hole. ( even if it is play money )

webull has a nice paper trading account and apps on any phone and the web. You can also easily monitor your performance and it’s super quick to set up a free account.

I use webull for all my stocks, crypto and TA just to track even though Canadian can’t trade. I even pay like $3/4 per month to get the level 2.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely take a look at the platform.

I don't mind restarting. But at the moment I'm making some money haha

Not much but it's a good start.

Happy new year everyone!

So the outcome after the new year is.... I am losing money if I sold everything off right now.

All my stocks made money except FB/Meta stocks. But I didn't make much profit since I was focusing on getting dividends from those stocks. Except FB /Meta. Which it is hard to determine under the paper trading.

So, majority of my lose came from cryptocurrency ADA. I put in about $4000 worth of Canadian dollars.

If I had sold it off last weekend - I would have made over $450-500 Canadian dollars. But I didn't because I thought it would go up again.

I got a little too greedy with cryptocurrency haha oh well!

Overall, if I focus on being a Day trader - I could have made a good profit but very risky. If I focus on being Warren Buffet - long-term investment and hold on to good companies et cetera.

poker,

It is your game, so you call the rules. This game was started just as the markets corrected, so many people will be discouraged and not play. So here are you reset choices.

- Full reset with $10,000 new play money for everyone.

- Reset for people who choose to reset at $10,000 and allow some people to keep their portfolios as is.

- Optional reset for those that choose to reset but they must buy their original stock
