Trading Stocks
So I have finally decided to invest in the good old stock market! I’ve wanted to for quite some time now, but just hadn’t gotten around to it up till yesterday. It all started last week when I got to thinking about netflix. You see, netflix just partnered with microsoft to allow people with xbox 360s to watch over 12,000 movies directly from their xbox. Its pretty amazing! It will become available to all xbox 360 owners with a netflix account with this coming fall update. So I figured that netflix is going to do pretty darn well with this update coming and I should get some stock in it.
I put a portion of my savings into my scottrade.com account and got some netflix stock. I hopes is that the stock at least doubles. We shall see what happens. But all in all its alot of fun. I look at the stocks through out the day and see how its doing along with a few other stocks I own now and its really cool. Normally through out the day I’m so consumed by work, or something else and this is a way for me to have something to look forward to viewing every so often. I’ll keep you guys up to date on how its doing.
