Out of curiosity I'd like to know if anybody else on this site trades stocks. I have been trading for almost a year now and have had a really good success at the beginning. This summer sadly my stocks crashed on me and I lost over 80 percent of my original investment and all my profit. The company I have my money in decided to release false reports and got busted. Anyway if there are any traders on this site and would like to share what they're currently investing in or just talk about their stories and give a noob some advice please share.
stocks!

I compete against my friends on market watch, made 10.66% in 4 days, that's my record. Always end up doubling within 2-3 months. But alas it is not real money and anyone who had the balls to do what i do on that website with real money should be considered for a mental hospital ahaha
I'll be trying a new strategy now, kinda frowned upon but I'll try it. I'll put a larger capital in and day trade a strong stock after a small market correction. I'm literally aiming for 2-5% but with enough capital to make a difference. Sadly I bought Potbelly stock and its falling almost down 20% now. I'm not sure if I should pull out of that one. The potbelly is on different money for a long term investment. I was expecting potbelly to do like noodles co did this past July and hopefully like chipotle in the future. Anyone agree or disagree?

It should, you just need to have a cusip number. I use both Schwab and tdameritrade. Remember though to add a zero to the price. ie 80 is $800. Most bonds pays between 3 to 8 percent yield as well with the potential for long term growth. All bonds are based on a par value of 100 or $1k.

Sunesis has been great in at 1.20 and last I looked it was close to $5.00 ,great day trade stock as well some nice swings
Also, do any of you have experience with silver? I bought 200 oz of silver a few years ago and its just fallen since then. I'm heavily debating of taking a loss and using the rest of the money to invest in something else. I figure it will go up eventually but I am wondering if I can use that money to make more money by the time silver goes up.
