In order to have actually made money, you would have had to actually buy and sell securities, not just pretend. Mikey couldn't have made any money because he couldn't have actually bought and sold securities. First, he has shown by his posts that he lacks the most basic knowledge to buy and sell securities. Second, you need money to buy and sell securities. Mikey - by his own admission - has no money. Look, here's how pathetic Mikey is. Not only couldn't he have actually made money in the market, he can't even pretend to have made money in the market. After your project, you could have told people what securities you pretended to buy. Mikey can't even do that. He doesn't even know what securities he would have needed to buy and sell to make the money he claims. 1) He doesn't know how to buy and sell securities. 2) He doesn't know what securities he would have needed to buy and sell to make money. 3) He doesn't have any money. Given those 3 facts, you really think it possible he made a killing in the market last week??

Yes, my profit was pretend, since it was a project. Also, NO..I don't think mikey made a killing in the market, beside, if he did buy enough to make a "killing", he would have to buy "on credit". Pay a percentage and the broker carrys the balance. You really need a top line credit history and a fat wallet to do that with a stock broker. Farmer John |
