LOL, you use your parents' money to invest too?
Actually I haven't invested new funds into my trading account since I stopped working full time. I have made a 200% return on that investment so far though and I am quite happy with it. My only regret is not having invested more when I had the free funds to do so.

Really? The market has been treating me good the last few weeks... Though I was down in April and May.
Been thinking about pulling some money out and buying a new computer, but I like where my positions are heading at the moment.
How much money do you have invested?

Not a lot, I started with a few thousand. It's def not some giant account by any means haha. Like I said my biggest regret is not having put more money in. I started out right after the market crash in 2008 and made some good investments in financial that have paid off really well. I've diversified since then into shipping and rolling stock, and with the economy generally on the rebound those have been fairly prudent choices as well.
Seriously though I wish I had invested more at the start, but hindsight is always 20/20.

Been shitting myself all morning. I'm such a Jew, because it took me 2 hours to convince myself to take the day off. I came, I saw, I shat.

Was invited to a study group, thought today was Wednesday so I said no initially, because I need to go out and buy some new soccer cleats for the summer (well technically for Thursday). Then I realized it is Tuesday... So I told the dude I'd join. Bonus: the hot girl I been chatting up also offered to go between when I declined and when I accepted (and I feel obligated to impress now because when the guy asked me initially she piped up and was like "no, he is too smart for a study group, he doesn't even take notes!").

Have you ever been to a study group? They suck, primarily because only stupid, lazy people go to them. That girl is right, you will regret it!!
You'll see - they will expect the smart people to carry the weight!

Haha. Well this is going to sound horribly racist, but I am the only native english speaker in the class I think (actually there is some other girl, but she is like 40) and yea, the midterm is Thursday.

If she shows up its worth it.
Seriously though, yea study groups suck, and I have full expectations to be the one carrying the group. On the other hand I am egotistical and like to hear myself talk, especially about diplomacy, which is the course, so I might be in hog heaven.
