I have another 49k in buying power. What does that mean?
Buying Power includes what you are allowed to purchase on margin, meaning borrowing the cash to buy securities.

Well, I own KO, XOM and T in real life so I sure hope they are good.

What, no wwe?

You could've made a small fortune shorting it earlier in the year. It was at 30$ around March.

The Moodys and two oil stocks are the ones I know very little about. I saw Moodys and the EV stock in Berkshire Hathaways listings. Saw DBO etf here in a thread.

Sooo, I just went and checked and we are up to 40 people! And one of the last people to register was none other than ThaBigFella. Same one? A troll? Who knows. I know a lot around here liked him so maybe he will jump back in and contribute.

Pretty much started the DRIP craze around here. Owns a couple of gas stations. Gained quite the following, while he was here. Liked PM, V, AAPL (except when he didn't like AAPL).

Ringing a bell?

Nope. I must not have clicked on his posts. DRIPS don't interest me. The same for precious metals. So I guess his and my interests don't overlap that much.

I think he did talk a little about precious metals, but the PM above is for Philip Morris.

OOPS!

I'm not interested in tobacco stocks either...

My dividend test portfolio is down $15,000+ on a cost basis of about $300,000 and that's with one stock I shorted 2,000 shares. That one is up since Monday!

I'm not in charge of this thread. That's Brink's call to make.

But with as many players as we have I suggest a lower amount, maybe even just $5. This is not intended for anyone to lose real money or make any real money. Just enough to make it a fun game.

Brink will let us know after he meditates on it....

I have stated several times that if y'all wanted to do a side pot, have at it. I will not be in charge of it, nor do I think it's fair to make everyone do it considering it was not talked about in the beginning.

Love Bama, will you do the honors of running the prizes? If so, post how we can send you the money.

I guess we could start some kind of account. We need more than one person with access to it though.

I'll see what I can dig up.

Again, I am not in the side pot portion, but the college fantasy league I did on here for two years was run by CETiger and we just sent him money that was held in his paypal account until the winners were determined. Just throwing that out there as an idea.
