We started out with $100,000 and i spent all of it. We made a deal that we can do any cheat we want if we find it... I wuz wondering if there are any of them for virtualstockexchange.com Also, can u rate my portoflio and tell me what i should keep, get, or sell??? It is reletivley long term... I still have 158 days left. Y AM I IN 39th place?!?!?! here are my stocks. 500 shares of Sketchers. 1000 shares of Quest Entertainment. 1500 shares of Cisco Systems 200 shares of Johnson and Johnson 170 shares of XTO Energy 385 shares of Crocs and 250 shares of SIRF Technologies. and for some of them.. for example, Cisco, they are up 53 cents today, but it says that i have lost 210 dollars... HOW IS that possible?

I'll answer the last item, about how the stock goes up and you lost money. It is just the math. If the stock OPENED today down say $5 and then closed up $2 better, it would show as a gain of $2, although since you started the day $5 down, you really lost $3. So, you watch the portfolio total value as your success meassure.
