got the stocks section up

it is not ties to the forum database. Just make a new account. This is just to mainly test the stock market side. I will add much more. You can buy and sell stocks. You can choose popular ones or even just enter your own symbol in so you can choose any stock with a symbol

looks good m8, cant wait to see how far you get with this.

Looking good so far!

A couple of things:

1. There may be a problem with Hewlett Packard. It is showing it is trading at $0. I resisted the urge to buy 20,000 shares of it I think I was able to buy about 10 of them ad confirmed that it was not reducing my total money. If you want to delete them to keep it fair for when they do fetch a correct value, that is cool

2. When you check your stocks, it would be nice to see how many shares you own, since it is kind of concerning to not see it recorded.

All in all, it is looking really nice so far!

[hallsofvallhalla]

do you mean when you go to check your stock to see its current value, to have it show how many you own?

Good idea, will get that done. Removed HP, added Google

[Jackolantern]

Yes, that is what I meant. Thanks!

Some of these companies really need to divide their stocks! I wanted to buy some Google, but a single share is over $500 so I had to only buy one!

[hallsofvallhalla]

i noticed that and that brought up a concern. If google splits then owners here of it will get screwed. The price will split but you won't get two stocks I need to find out a way to fix that.

I don't know whether you added it already halls, but I can see how many shares i own, its to the right of the prices. Its just the column is bblack, and text is black, so you can't see it.
Unless Im misunderstanding what Jack's asking

[hallsofvallhalla]

no he means if you go to check the current price of a stock, using the check any stock section, he wants to be able to see how of that stock he owns.

So in other words go to popular stock 1, then at the bottom you can check a single stock. once you enter in your stock it should tell you how many you own.

[alexrules01]

Ahh i see, gotcha!

Anyways great idea, and looks good so far!

Great job halls! Just a suggestion maybe you could have a sidebar with all of your stocks in it listed like this
Adobe Systems Inc.:30
Mattel Inc.:35
etc etc.
