Hows about a new fun game in investing??

I tried that (bought $1K in beer and turned in the cans). Unfortunately, it's only about $20 in cans. Still better then a lot of investments and it was fun watching my investment grow or shrink while my belly grew.

So are you saying you pissed your money away?:whistling::yum::yum:
 
Hey Dave,

I was looking at the spreadsheet. Why does column G have formulas for some (which appear to be what it should be) but straight out dollar amounts (original purchase price?) for others?
E.g.
G2 = $99997.38
G3 = F3*41.17

EDIT TO ADD: I looked closer and it's not used so I guess it's irrelevant.

There are three rows that have a formula in column G. Mine, tsaw and Cowboy. The others I entered manually before I figured out how to make everything dynamic.

That value is used to calculate the gain, but it doesn't ever change, so like you said, it's pretty much irrelevant.
 
Hey.. Lots of green today!

Interesting how all of us had 1,000,000 combined total to play with, and the grand total gain is 30 something grand.:yum::yum::yum:
 
15% gain in silver bullion in only eight weeks. Normally, I would capture some of the profit at this point by selling some, but I believe this is a buy and hold contest.
 
I can't find our original game, maybe a year or two ago? I'd like to see how we all stand now in that game.

Oh, I see what it is ... big Wall Street money manipulating the market. Buy lots of it at a depressed price, drive the price up, dump it before anyone notices what's going on.

I was really kicking ass when it went to 80 cents a share. It's on it's way back down once all the profit takers got out. Hopefully it'll settle at something higher than the 35¢ a share that I paid for it.

You are a financial wizard! Congrats. Amazing pick and results!
 
I just checked. It's on it's way back down but seems to have leveled off. I'm still up about $60K. Not bad, not bad at all. There's still a long way to go though.

Sorry about the double post but I just noticed Ironman's comment. :biggrin::biggrin:

I pulled the trailer with the ol' F350 last week and it did pretty good. I pulled it back to the dealer to have some warranty work done after our one week shakedown. I'm now making plans for some short trips to get more familiar with it when we get it back. $60K will just about buy the new F550 I just built on the Ford website. :yum::yum::yum: I don't think I'm going to slip that past the missus.

I guess the general population hasn't yet realized the likelihood of a SHTF situation. Once they do, they'll be buying up tons of P&G products (i.e. toilet paper) to get them through.
