J.K.Galbraith quote:
"Speculation on a large scale requires a pervasive sense of confidence and optimism and
     conviction that ordinary people were meant to be rich. People must also have faith in the
     good intentions and even in the benevolence of others, for it is by the agency of others
     that they will get rich... The common folks believe in their leaders... Such a feeling of
     trust is essential for a boom." 

     conviction - faith - benevolence - common folks - trust
     what a religion!

Things to do while u are getting rich!

Railroad Tycoon II
Screen Shot

It can take you from New York to South Africa. It can take you from the year 1804 to  the year 2000. It can take you from
penniless manual laborer to powerful multi-millionaire. It can take you from a normal, well-adjusted, well-rounded person to an obsessed, singled-minded, etc. etc etc!

This is a real railroad game, not just a strategy game
that happens to involve railroads. If you want to hop on a plane, car or ship, hop on another game. This game is about trains for people who love trains. Everything about the game is centered around an authentic look and feeling of the railways. Period video and pictures are interlaced with the game. The design and interface are true to the character of the fabled late 1800's railroads. A.I. opponents are based on real people. And all maps are real (based on satellite photography from US Geological Service and other sources).

Check it Out

Buy it for you Dad!
Let him play with it once in awhile. 
Highly recommended!

What goes up can come down! If you need a lift check out ARTL. Thin stock with some shorties. Also TRBO moving without news and big short interest!

Wow, Happy New Year everyone!
Great Contest and congrats to Hank58 for besting 110,000 challengers.

12/31/9811:45am
Here we go into the final hours, HANK 58 holdin 1,250,000 cash and ebcjc now $60K behind, but hooked up on XLNX a real flyer! A closing spurt of 5 points and he's home free!!
Good luck!
leaders picks:

12/30/98 2:30pm
Hank58 is trying hard in a bad market. He may have been better off just holding his cash Hindsight is always 20/20. Ebcjc's Ticketmaster tmcs is only down slightly. Still it is real close. Pick another rocket HANK... and you are the winner!!

more later if it gets close
***
12/30/98$20,000 separates our 2 leaders
Ebcjc holding $1,330.000/TMCS and han58 holden the cold hard cash $1,305,000
Well nothing like a little walkin around money for the holidays... BUT who gets the $5,000?? TMCS dives and handy58 wins! Can life be that simple? Congrats to both of you for showing us how its done! 
But it ain't over til it over
more later jgm

12/29/98
Folks, Now I have seen it all!! OSCCEJ is killing this market.. making $500,000K every time he pushes the little button. I stand in AWE, Sir. You are the Greatest!!
But you have competition! EBCJC (who sounds like your twin) is right on your tail. This is the best contest we have ever had. All us alsorans (including myself) should run out and buy Railroad Tycoon II. (I'll post a link later.)



12/28/98
It was The Geek's Week and those that switched UBID into it are holding close to $1 million.
More later!


12/24/98: 
YES! if you sold it and bought GEEK at the opening yesterday! EBCJC did exactly that. Dec 14, he started with $100K bought UBID at $30+ sold 12/23 at $154 and bought the GEEK at $15+. Now sitting on $822K!!!
Of Course if thats too slow, you could have bought 14,107 shares of MZON on the opening at 7+ to get your $784K in ONE DAY! School88bag did!
This will take me all weekend to sort out.
             " WILD THING I think I LUV YA
Happy Holidays to ALL!!

12/23/98 9:30am
Can you be a leader without UBID?
occsej is doing just that! Top trader making one great trade after another. Perhaps three great trades in one day! Hats off to you Occsej.. $480,000 and counting!
Oh but the UBID guys are not far behind. Kumar_Man is at $480 plus. Having UBID as your pet stock since it was $30 has been all he needed. Should get interesting now!
More Later.

12/22/98 9am



 The Final Week!
"I see it but I don't believe it!
YAHOO, AMZN, EBAY, UBID,NSOL!
Only real people left in those stocks are letting their software make the decisions. There has never been anything like this.. Trust me I've been here for over 40 years.. 
         NEVER EVER ANYTHING LIKE THIS!
TOP TRADE of the DAY
Our Top Trader today is CORVETTBOY! He was an early leader then bought NSOl at $120.. It dove to near $100, what did he do? NOTHING!... He held it. Then the latest rise began, and he sold it for $140! Congrats but wait the story not over.. NSOL keeps moving and somehow he knows the selling was a mistake... HE BOUGHT IT BACK at $152! It closed up another 10% from there! 
FANTASIC!! The hardest thing for a trader to do is to rebuy higher and  the other hard thing is to hold a losing position and watch others people stocks go up! 
Nice TRADE!!

Stay Tuned!
December 20, 1998
Monday 10am

Not much going on other than Clinton's Impeached,  IRAQ ops for disarmament the hard way, and Patriots beat the 49rs with a quarterback that hasn't started a game in 5 years.

This months contest is close! Closer that those listings as the top guy  is there in error based on a 12/17 trade in PHG . Give Amana top trading honors as she made only 2 trades both big winners BAMM and CLPA. CorvetteBoy returns to top 5 by waiting out  NSOL  he paid $120 and it dived last week.
 Here's a updated portfolio of some leaders picks:

Amazing Amazon after crashing to near $50 in October  is traded  at $300!  EBAY AOL just keep on ticking and Yahoo has enough software in place to start a small country!

Here's a copy of a CBS post about possible future winners in case you are looking for some.
 

    But this has been more than offset by the urgent accumulation in a heap of speculative growers with names such as Aware, Bebe Stores, Bel Fuse, CDW Computer Centers, Carrier Access, Clarify, Computer Network, Cree Research, eBay, Flextronics, Genesis Microchip, Geotel Communications, Global Crossing, Global Telesystems Group, Insight Enterprises, International Network Services, Macromedia, Metromedia ,Fiber Network, MindSpring Enterprises, Minimed, Network Appliance,  Network Solutions, New Era of Networks, Pathogenesis, Power
    Integrations, Plexus, Priority Healthcare, QLogic, RF Micro Devices,  Rambus, Resmed, and Transwitch. 
Check those out if you are waiting for the Titantic to rise again.
Too much action now to ignore.

 If you have been shopping online drop me a Line!!:

  • How did you like it?
  • What made you try it.. holiday traffic, price, variety of goods offered, finding things local stores don't stock.
  • Guess what will be re-discovered next????
You have just answered the questions that Wall Street should ask but won't. My guide to creating a successful online shopping service is not available to the public, but is available (along with it's creator) to the companies that want to get a head start on the internet. 30 years of retailing ought to be enough..

Message of the Week: posted 12/17/98
Get into UBID while you can.

                                                                      300 of 1229
 Remember back to the day when ebay opened up at 50 and then took a nose dive down to 25 and then ebay came to life and the next thing we knew was that ebay hit 200. Now that's a 800% return and is still growing strong. Ubid opened up at 60 and then took a nose dive to 30 and now is at 43.
 Now if Ubid acts like Ebay did in its first couple weeks, then it will grow enormously from here on out.
 Check out the similarities. Just see what happens.

HELP THE NEEDY!!

Now is the time to confess."How do you pick winners" So much stuff flushed down the drain each and every hour, How do those winners sort through it all and find the jewels.. or do they let others do that and merely react?

Ok but react to what: Volume surge, price surge, what What WHAT! A free plug and copy of my soon to be published best seller plus heaps of fame and glory to those that respond.
 

P.S. You must have received a top ten finish award in the Yahoo contest to qualify.
