Finally things are looking good on Wall Street, for the 3rd day in a row stocks are up at their highest since 2007 when the rescission really started kicking in. We are almost at the closing bell today and im happy to see everything is looking good.

Nifty.

While I'm here, anybody mind giving me some faux financial advice?

My economics class has a stock market game going on (that only a quarter of the kids are playing, because the rest are too cool to do work) that I was confident that I'd "win" by a large margin.

For the most part, I was right. I invested in a few companies, primarily Apple, which I thought would be going up.

I was kicking ass until this son of a bitch (and this guy is an absolute idiot) decided to start playing a month late, and all of a sudden racks up $19,000. How in the hell?

I resorted do doing what I didn't want to do: dumping everything else I had (Google, Priceline, Disney, and Kraft off the top of my head) in favor of Apple which was going up faster than the rest.

Question is, what can I do to beat this douche?

As of right now I have a pending order to sell my 398 AAPL shares since it's slightly declining, which I'll buy back as soon as it starts to pick up a bit.

Evidence of my ass-kicking.

Hold on to your apple stock everyone is saying it is under valued right now and will go back up. It was at 600 a share 2 days ago, it will surpase that soon; just be patient.

IT WORKED!

He must be holding only Apple, because he's gone from $18,900 this morning to $16,600 right now!

FUCK THE POLICE

Well I'm ahead of him and I just rebought everything, so whether it rises or drops I'll still be ahead, and that's all that matters.

Yeah but it is going to go up in a few days and probably won't get much lower. Bloomberg, Yahoo, MSN where all saying how apple was even under valued at 600. Hell 2 years ago it was at 300 a share

But here's the thing though, I sold everything just before it dropped five bucks or so and bought it back as soon as it started to bounce back, which he didn't.

I was ahead of him by about a grand or two, how the hell is he ahead of me again when I mathematically should have more shares than him which are doing just as well?
