Since I'd like to talk about stocks and why exactly they are where they are, I think this would be a good place to put this topic.

My Apple is all the way up to 275 from 265 a week ago, meaning I'm $1000 richer. However, I'm probably going to lose it back soon.

TAKE DA MONIES! TAKE DA MONIES! :D But, seriously, you could do a lot with $1000, so, yes, take the cash.

Unfortunately, the long term capital gains tax is such that if I were to sell, I'd lose half the value of my stocks. Short term is worse, but fortunately, I've held the stock for more than 2 years now.

I can't figure why Apple is going up like this, though.

more people are buying ipads because their friends say that they actually are more than ipod-touchs for people with big hands

They are!!??

But seriously, I was looking, and Microsoft has a LOWER enterprise value and market cap than Apple. Tesla Motors is all the way up to 21.5 or so, even though they have yet to make a profit. Exxon mobil is worth $60.78 a share, and Shell is at $56 a share. This is just wierd.

Because everyone hates BP.

Here's why everyone hates BP:[spoiler]To the tune of the Spongebob theme song:
[spoiler] Ohhh!!!
Who died in an oil spill because of BP?
Spongebob Squarepants, Spongebob Squarepants, ohh Spongebob... Squarepants!!! [/spoiler] [/spoiler]

I could not stop laughing long enough to sing it to myself, and I pride myself on singing, despite a lack of voice lessons.

Go to YouTube and search BP spills coffee.

Bah Hah! So much like the oil spill. No wonder stocks are falling.

ArtDrake

I guess that would explain why Shell and Exxon are up.

The Holy namelesskitty

That was my point, nobody is buying from BP but they still need gas.

Note he said "up" to. Not down to. It must be a good thing.
