This whole investments stuff is harder than it looks, ain’t it?

Does the system that you're using give any portfolio technicals? R^2, Standard Deviation, etc?

No and the search engine to find a company sucks. You have to know their Code instead of Company name. I am hinging between the middle of the pack and last right now! Sam Adams Brewery and Disney are keeping me afloat!

Thankfully my real portfolio is doing better than this one, its a good thing I don’t have 500,000 to play around with in real life.

It does not, as far as I know. This is a lot different than the layout on my real portfolio.

Not old enough to drink it, but I am old enough to buy the company...

I have so many small volatile stocks, so a good market day all around would rocket me back into the top ten.

Unless you're worth $20MM, no one should play with $500k. This is why I have a job.

I started as a 14 year old with 1,000, and at this point (2 years later) I’ve doubled my money and then some. Avant money!

$1k (now $2k) is good. I’ve seen people with almost $1MM lose the VAST majority of their money doing investments themselves (pre-2008 crash). One person had just retired and was forced to go back to work in his 60’s because of it. And I begged him not to do it before he acted on it.

As long as you are young, not playing with enough money that losing it all is life-changing, and understand that there will be both upswings and downswings, you're good.
