- WaMu Crashes
 My stock depresses me. Just a few days ago I was gaining over a dollar, now I'm dropping almost a dollar. I learned a good lesson here, I need to get more diversified. I have a lot of my funds tied u..... |
- Boom
 This chart doesn't look too crazy, but today was a HUGE boom for the entire stock market - especially my stocks. My stock increased over $2 in the last two days, simply wonder..... |
- Simply Insane
 The stock market has been simply insane the last 5 days or so. I've been visit a lot of forums and people are in panic mode, we haven't seen anything like this in decades. My WM stock is a..... |
- Washington Mutual Plummets
 WaMu simply tanked, dropping 30% today. This is going to be a long haul to get back positive... I don't have anything more to say, this is simply depressing. |
- Fannie and Freddie Bailed Out
 What an exciting day on the market - the US banking sector put the words economy on its head. It has been confirmed that the government will bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - costing us over 100 ..... |
- Financial Sector Up - Finally
 Washington Mutual (WM) and Syncora Holdings (SCA) both increased around ~4% today. My theory is that stocks are going to rally soon, afterhours trading for both is up another ~4%! These last few days..... |
- Another Day Up for SCA
 Another great day for SCA, up almost ~15% again today - with the entire market down. I think this stock is finally getting the attention it deserves. Other favorite insurers like RDN and ABK all got ..... |
- Huge Increase for Syncora
 Syncora Holdings (SCA) increased drastically today - almost 30%! Aftermarket trading is up another 1.5% currently, which is another great sign. I'm going to pull out somewhere..... |
- WaMu Doing Better
 Finally, WM has been increasing - over 40c from my additional purchase at $3.60. August has been a hard month for the stock - I think due to less trading. The shorts seem to b..... |
- Syncora Holdings Taking a Beating
| Syncora Holdings (SCA) is taking an absolute beating - thankfully I invested little money in there. At one point today it was down almost 25c! Afterhours is looking just as gloom, dropping over 6% so far. I feel the pain. |
- A New Week
| Last week was, to say the least, depressing for me. The stocks dropped throughout the week - WM being hit the hardest. Today WM was as low as 3.60 - too low for its own good. I purchased more shares of WM to cost average and hopefully come up some. I..... |
- The Monday Flu
| The last three weeks Financials have been dropping drastically causing the entire market to go down. It seems like the banking sector has The Monday Flu, as I like to put it. By Friday, these stocks all recover from their damages and slightly more. N..... |
- Syncora Holdings
 RDN increased 21% today, simply unbelievable how volatile the market is! There are millions to be made in the banking industry - the ups and downs are so drastic!I added Syncora Holdings (SCA..... |
- Dull Day
| No big news on the market today, so stocks naturally went down with the entire bad economy situation. Thankfully, my stock RDN has been trending upwards this entire week! It may be time to cash out of that one and not get too greedy! WM is getting cl..... |
- Banking Sector Plummets
 National banks took a nosedive today dragging down the entire market. News of JP Morgan revealing that it's mortgage-related losses already exceeded third quarter losses - sim..... |
- Nice Market Recovery
 Well well well! Today was a very healthy day for the stock market, with the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P were all up! Both WM and RDN increased today! Hopefully RDN will increase with..... |
- Fannie Mae Reports Losses
| Today Fannie Mae (FNM) reported wider-than-expected losses, although surprisingly it didn't effect many banking stocks much. NCC, C, and FRED all were in the positives today. Funny enough, my WM stock decreased about 8% today - some shit, eh? My RDN ..... |
- Ouch
 The stock market simply sucked today with the Dow -224, Nasdaq -22, and the S&P -23 (especially devastating the banking industry today). RDN was down over 15% one time ..... |
- Radian Group
| Today I diversified my portfolio and invested money into Radian Group (RDN) - a private mortgage insurance company. I believe that I caught it on an upswing, up 4% during the day. I predict tomorrow RDN will increase quite well with a 3% gain afterma..... |
- Inflation Highest in 27 Years
| The inflation rate was released early this morning and it was the highest its been in 27 years - simply amazing to me the crisis this economy is in. There is little the government can do about this with the worsening economy. The entire banking secto..... |
- WaMu Hedge Fund Purchase
| 6% of WaMu was purchased by a UK Hedge fund earlier today, skyrocketing the stock up to 21% gain at one point. Simply wonderful! I expect momentum to gain on this stock as the week progresses. |
- WaMu Repurchase
| Boy, do I wish I left half my shares in with WaMu. After pulling out the stock increased another 6% yesterday, and today again another 6%. I decided to purchase more shares of WaMu today at $4.70, and the market closed at $4.72. I'm going to diversif..... |
- WaMu Stock Up as Predicted
| WaMu Stock as been climbing drastically today as predicted! Unfortunately, I got greedy and pulled out after gaining about ~15%. Next time i'll keep half in and wait it out :). |
- Airline Stock Predictions
| I've been looking into diversifying my portfolio into another volatile market - Airlines. This market is extremely hurt because of the high gas costs - and will increase drastically as prices for oil go down. Oil has been dropping recently because pe..... |
- Rocky Day on Stock Market
| Today was quite a rocky day on the exchange. The DOW, NASAQ and S&P were all down today. The banking industry was hit pretty hard, but surprisingly enough my WaMu stock was up ~3% at close due to a big purchase right before market closing. At one poi..... |
- Reciprocal Damage
| Many banking stocks were hurt today with yesterdays bad news. WaMu's devastating losses from yesterday rocked the entire banking sector. WM stock was down almost 5% at close. I'm still in the green from my low 3.77 purchase yesterday near its worst. ..... |
- A Great Opportunity
| Today both the unemployment and housing report was released with unimpressive results. In addition, the S&P was down drastically causing damage to the banking industry. One of my favorite stocks, WM, was hit drastically in comparison to other banking..... |
- National City Bank Earnings Hype
| National City Bank (NCC) is reporting their quarterly earnings tomorrow. With all the hype this stock peaked up 15% and I decided to sell. I have little faith that NCC will report less-than-expected losses considering how intertwined they are with th..... |
- Wachovia and WaMu Losses
| Today was sure an exciting day on the stock market! Both Wachovia and Washington Mutual reported wider-than-expected losses causing turmoil in the banking market. These two reports gives me great opportunity to pull out of National City Bank (NCC) ea..... |
- No Big News Today
| After investing in NCC (National City Bank) last week and gaining a few percentages, the day ended with a fraction percentage down. Bank of America reported less losses than predicted so at first it boosted up, but as the day progressed with little n..... |
- Pulled out and Reinvested
| I decided to pull out of WM stock earning a total 35% gain (too bad, considering it gained another 20% today - but i'm happy!). I reinvested into National City bank 30 minutes ago and gained 5% so far with it increasing still. Exciting business! |
- Investing in Stock Market
| I've been doing some reading about the stock market and started my first investments today, and it's been a fun for me. I decided to invest into the banking industry because its so volatile and affordable at the moment. The stock that I chose has inc..... |

| I'm going to setup an online stock portfolio and play monopoly with fake money, connected to the real economy. |
