Re: First time investor
Welcome! I agree, I like the general investing philosophy this board revolves around.

Re: Newbie from Corpus Christi
Welcome! You can probably get your problem answered better if you reply in the excel spreadsheet thread.

Utah - New user
Hello Everyone.

As mentioned I am from Utah and I am 25. I have some money in Mutual Funds, but just started buying companies the past few months. I opened an account with Scottrade and bought my first company after paper trading for several months. I am excited about this board and the information contained herein. I am also excited to get to know everyone. I work for a construction company (ticker CRH) as an operations manager.

Go back to the Rule1 tab and see if it shows successful. Then, try another symbol in the Rule1 tab and see if it is successful. Hope this helps.


Thanks for you're reply, That seemed to help some but when I ran HOG for example it Harleys MOS was $3.52 I'm sorry but no way unless my calculation are way of which came to $47.00

Help Please
