This stream actually got me started on the stock market. I only threw $10 in but I got a stock in GNC. It's been fun watching it go up and down. I plan on researching and investing money I get from freelance jobs in it once I understand it better, and see it grow.

I'm confused, how does this work?

[QUOTE=matt000024;52301278]I'm confused, how does this work?[/QUOTE] To buy stock you type !buy or !sell and then the Stock name, i.e MON = Monsanto Market is closed now so you can't buy or sell right now.

is there even any point investing in stocks with chump change? if you go in with $200, returns are small and losses are painful.

[QUOTE=TestECull;52301920]They started out with 50 grand...[/QUOTE] shoulda quoted the guy I was pointing that to. the one who put $10 into it.

I just really have to marvel at what strange fucking reality we're in where we have a dedicated channel for stock trading [i]for entertainment[/i] [editline]oh hamburgers[/editline] Bladerunner, Johnny Mnemonic, Ghost in the Shell, they all had it wrong. This is the true dystopian future.

[QUOTE=loopoo;52301975]shoulda quoted the guy I was pointing that to. the one who put $10 into it.[/QUOTE] $10 isn't exactly painful it's a good way to get into the market since you have a number to keep track of, but you can afford to throw away $10

it's just people spamming !buy FUN lmao

Watch as so many people play along that they actually influence the market with made up stock trends.

[QUOTE=TestECull;52301920]They started out with 50 grand...[/QUOTE] I think its invested in a Robinhood account which lets you use play money, so no one actually put up any real dollars.

[QUOTE=Byndley;52305093]I think its invested in a Robinhood account which lets you use play money, so no one actually put up any real dollars.[/QUOTE] Robinhood is all real money.

I've seen it go up $0.30 a few times, so it gives me an idea of what to expect if I invest more. Just a silly thing, but I find it fun.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;52305616]Invest in Vanguard Index 500, that's all you need to know.[/QUOTE] why though

[QUOTE=Sheer Visor;52306094]why though[/QUOTE] Typically investing in index trackers (which is a form of investing called passive investing) is more successful than trying to beat the market by buying individual stocks. A lot of people these days are giving up on active investment and sticking money in an index tracker which follows the trend of a particular index (for example a FTSE100 index tracker would invest in a selection of companies in the FTSE100 that best represents the FTSE100 index - therefore, if the FTSE100 does well, chances are your investments will do well too). Of course nothing is guaranteed, you can still lose money in any case. More info: [url]http://www.investopedia.com/university/exchange-traded-fund/etf4.asp[/url]

Trading fees would normally eat that up extremely quickly.
