Some Thursday hilarity for you.
I'm currently in an Advanced Energy Finance class. A couple weeks ago we spent some time in the UC Denver commodities trading center learning Trading Technologies software. We're working in a simulation (not real money), but it's all realtime market pricing, volume, etc.
This week we have a crude speculating assignment. Can't hold overnight positions, so each day is basically a fresh start. I had some dental work done this morning, so my day started with 4 Triazolams (Halcion) followed by Hydrocodone. The only thing I remember from a 4 hour block of my morning is blood in my mouth in the car on the way home.
Anyway, at some point I realized I was on my couch and thought I should be productive so I started makng some trades. I had 45 open positions and passed out for 2 hours and when I came to I was up $147,990. Gonna go get my white Countach now!
Conversely, another classmate lost $96,000 while watching a 2 minute video of a dachshund surfing.
