I started with $100 bucks not knowing what the hell I was doing. And now I have… less than that – LOL and stuff – it’s been rough past week.
Yep, after a couple weeks I have yet to make any money trading on Public but I sure have had some fun.
Being able to buy some stock for just a dollar has definitely triggered my collector response. If you look at my portfolio, you will see.
“Ohhhh hey, I like Wendy’s. I’ll take one dollar’s worth of Wendy’s please, thank you!”
“Woah, Costco is on here!? I hate it there but other people like it – I shall have a dollar of that please.”
I have always thought IBM was, like, some elite stock that only snobs and rich folk had. Nope, any idiot can buy a taste:
Most of the pieces I bought when I started were of things I liked, but were also kind of okay to buy. That has been fun.
But I think I am addicted to the stocks.
I have dumped all my cash into my Public account. Like, every fucking dollar I can afford to.
I have not stepped over the line of using money I can’t afford to lose yet. So that’s good, yeah?
Even so, I am addicted to watching the “Top Movers” feed of my portfolio and watchlist.
And this week it is driving me nuts because I only have like five damn dollars to spend on stocks until payday Friday.
So, all I can do is hope for one of the pieces I want to sell will go high enough for me to sell it so I can have some spending cash.
I will go nuts on Friday though, especially if the Market is still in the crapper and everything is red (buy when red, yeah?!).
I may need a handler to keep me in check.
