<p>How do you use JSTOR? Does your library allow you to retrieve journals from there?</p>
<p>Yep just use browse publication. I also like proquest as well.</p>
<p>Although, it's a heavily manipulated stock, check out SIMG. It's a great trading stock, you can make money on both sides. In the long run, this is going up, but in the short term, who knows. As far as your game goes, I find pair trading before the market opens is a great strategy. Look at the volume/early market indicators of a sector leader and then based on that information, find a smaller company in the sector with a similiar chart, typically the first hour or so of trading should follow suit with the larger company. </p>
<p>If you'd like to cheat the game, wait for LLTI.OB to drop down to .08, invest heavily and sell when it goes back up to .09...the beauty of this is the fact you're not actually filling shares and there is probably a 15 minute delay in the software compared to the actual market.</p>
<p>mahras2...i got my information from papers written on growth and value by the top portfolio strategists at citigroup-smith barney, not a bs website...btw its not just off of their website, i work there</p>
<p>Heh well just keep in mind that most of their "expert" recommendations fail. </p>
<p>If you want to get technical about value/growth debate find Fama and French's paper. Read up on the three factor model as well (as put forth by those series of papers). </p>
<p>As I said, please find out what sort of investigation they used to reach those conclusions. Support your views using hard data not something found on a website. BTW this phenomenon (value providing above average returns) is exploited by quite a few hedge funds and banks themselves.</p>
<p>Looks like you edited some info> Doesn't matter, find out what sort of analysis they are doing. Results can suffer from survivorship bias and a myriad of other problems. </p>
<p>But the "value" beating "growth" has been proven and has been exploited by very reputable names.</p>
<p>heh mahras2 I will disagree with you about the stock competitions. I have won some, and even if I had some luck mixed in as Cramer always says "it is always better to be lucky than to be good." Plus my personal portfolio is no where close to a 50% loss. I do agree most of the kids don't know **** but all in all the competitions are valuable experiences.</p>
<p>My experience as well as others has been as I have outlined it. You probably picked up some skills while in the contests. You did hear about the Playboy Playmates trading in some contest and beating the market right? ;) </p>
<p>BTW I am not a fan of Cramer. Yes I have been Cramerized in the past.</p>
<p>Yeah, I hear you the games are bs because after all your money isnt on the line. I only play them now for the transcript; it's not a bad thing being the president of all the business **** in the school and winning some money for it too. There is nothing like the real thing though. I remeber 3 years ago with no experience or anything I jumped right in and got burned but I learnt my lesson. A game cant do that ****.</p>
<p>Heh my friend and I just took over the stock market club at school and made it into a finance club. Going to start operations September though. Way I see it, its basically going to be a class with me giving a mini lesson on various topics.</p>
<p>sup warren...long time no see...</p>
<p>I gettring ready for Operation Entrprise at UCLA are you still going to the one at Columbia?</p>
