Guest Post: Prosperity Game Day4 + Day5: The Ultimate Daytrading Setup
Posted on January 28th, 2007
Written by Phileo
Good Trading begins with a good trading environment. One element of a good trading environment is having the right tools. I’ve been reading about Boogster’s Daytrading computer system. It’s a pretty nice setup, with bonus advice on LCD setups thrown in for good measure. But for my Prosperity Game, I need [...]

Though I am still delinquent on my 3rd day Prosperity Game entry, Phileo (of the Phileo’s Picture Windows stock trading blog) submitted his next entry. (If anyone else wants to start playing, just email me!) He writes:

I’ve been lazy, and am delinquent on my Prosperity Game entries. Phileo’s no slouch, though, and spends his second day of prosperity money like so:

It’s Day Two of my $500-increment prosperity game, and that means I’ve got $1000 to spend. I’ve been learning French in my spare time, somewhat slowly. I’m listening to lots of podcasts, etc, but still I think I could use some help with pronunciation from a teacher. So, I’ll sign up for [...]

As mentioned in the kick-off article, I am playing a game where I have to spend some imaginary money regularly (nominally each day, but we’ll see how close I can track to that). I have decided to go in $500 increments. Today is the first day of the game, so I have $500 [...]
My $1000 Experiment

Written by Richard
I stumbled across The $1000 Experiment blog yesterday, and thought it was a fun idea. As their initial post explains, the idea is simple:
In the morning, imagine you are depositing $1000 into your bank account.
You have to imagine how you would spend the entire sum today, and blog about your purchases.
The next day, you [...]
