    I have really been trying to learn investing over the past couple of weeks. So i wanted to do an investing simulation game to try out and practice before I use real money.

    So i set-up a game at www.investopedia.com and was wondering if anyone else wanted to join with me?

    I made it private so if you want to join post your email in here and I will send you the details.

    Hope to see you in there!

    You need to create an account first by going to http://simulator.investopedia.com. Then do a search for YGG on private games. Enter the password Eric gave.

    So, when do we start?

    That CMX/CVS merger didn't really boost either - hopefully it picks up for you.

    AAPL trading over $120 - wow...I bought at $84, definitely my shining star.

    GOOG is up over $500 (once again!), I got in at $440 - no too shabby.

    Justin, who's your star? I see you've risen from the dumps at below $250,000 to second place with almost $280,000 value.

    RIM Blackberry bought at 140.63 and is now trading at $165.33. I bought it when they were having the legal troubles over patent infringement and waited out them releasing new devices.

    As a new mac user I also bought AAPL @106.63. A little late on that bandwagon but still making money.

    And then I round it out with DIS, ACN and MS.

    I have some friends from work joining in the next few days so it should get interesting again!

    A lot of people got rich on Amazon recently...did you see that jump?! I honestly would have never guessed. My good friends brother used to work at Amazon and said it's a shit hole. It looks like a ghetto warehouse with boxes all over. He said it's amazing they even ship stuff out on time (if ever). Maybe it's changed since then, that was a couple years ago, but because of his comments I would have never invested any money into their stock.
