Anyone playing the stocks?

Would be nice to know of peoples different stories and reviews of different stock software and how much they made.

I will start, I read a lot at motley fool I use td ameritrade sink or swim last month I shorted nokia 2 times and a brazilian gold mining company to make 50%

which ended up being only 500usd but hey im not complaining I only wish I had invested more.

Only difference between Vegas and the stock market is that at least the house in Vegas comps you drinks.
