Blogshares Windfall Deflated

May 23, 2003

Blogshares has been a trip the past couple of days because of the Moveable Type shares. At least one billionaire was made. And I even hit $96 million:

Right now the Moveable Type shares dropped to a penny a share. Luckily, I sold $1 million worth early, so I'm still a millionaire. If it was real money, I'd start my own doggy day care business. smile

Blogshares Windfall

May 9, 2003

Oh goodie... Yay! Blog! now has a link from Moveable Type on Blogshares, so the share price went up to $5.51. If you own some, and want to sell, it's not going to hurt my feelings. It won't last for very long, so take advantage of it! Woo-Hoo!

Blogshares ain't so bad...

April 22, 2003

Well... I guess Blogshares still has some fun drama to it. Last night, I noticed Daypop was down to $6.30/share. So I bought 1250 shares. By this morning, it was up to $11.03. I sold all my shares for an overnight profit of $5,925. Weeeeeee! Of course, the share price dropped quite a bit when I sold. I always feel bad doing that. I'm not the competitive sort where I want to cause other people to lose money. Luckily, someone bought 1250 shares shortly after I sold them and the price went up even higher. So I don't even have to feel guilty for making the price drop. It was win win!! happy

Also... I am a proud shareholder in ibm. Yup... that ibm. They're listed on Blogshares now. ha!

Blogshares just got less fun...

April 19, 2003

Blogshares isn't as fun as it was a couple days ago.

They used to have a mechanism where if a blog's value increased dramatically, the share price would automatically increase. That's how I made most of my (fake) money. I scoped out the low valued blogs that I thought would increase in value and invested in them.

Another way I made a big chunk of (fake) money was when the Blogshares bot visited the MoveableType homepage and found an outgoing link to Blog O' The Blurf in the recently updated blogs section. Blog O' The Blurf's value went sky high, and so did it's share price. I was one of the lucky investors. Now THAT was FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! happy happy happy But the way things are now, that won't happen anymore. frown frown frown

It's not as fun without that bit of randomness. But that's just me. I hope the people who like it the way it is have a ball. smile

Blogshares is Fun!

April 15, 2003

Blogshares is fun!!

Wow! I made a very quick (fake) $1,400 in Blogshares this morning. Earlier this week, I paid 4 cents a share for 250 Blog O' The Blurf shares. This morning, they were up to $5.92/share due to a timely link from the Moveable Type website. Woo-Hoo!! I sold 240 and that made the share price jump up to $7.39, so other shareholders could make even more than me if they're paying attention.

My total worth is up to $2,929 ($1625 cash and $1304 shares). I wish it was this easy to make real money. laugh

A Blogshare Dividend

April 11, 2003

I am going to give away some shares of my Kim and Friend's Songs blog to my Yay! It's a Blog! shareholders. Kinda like a dividend. The shares are priced at $0.00 right now, but if everything goes right, it will be worth something in the future. I hope so. Thanks for investing!

Blogshares Blunder

April 8, 2003

I was pretty excited yesterday when I checked my sidebar and saw that Daypop shares listed on Blogshares had gone up. I'd bought 20 shares at $0.52, and the price had gone up to $10.97. At $10.45 per share profit, I was going to sell a few just for kicks.

But when I popped on over there, there was no record of my purchase at all. All Daypop shares and transactions had vanished from my portfolio. I was counting on that to cover the loss on Neurotic Fishbowl shares. It went from $4.22 per share to $0.65.

Oh well... it's still in beta. I hope they get all the kinks worked out soon.

If you own shares in my blog (Christine, Eric and Kevin), I am trying to get the kinks worked out of the merger of a couple of URLs. Thanks for your confidence in Yay! It's a Blog. cool
