What do you do during school?

[Sutler]

I was inspired by events that occurred today. I bought RCL (Royal Caribbean) yesterday and intended to sell it today and rebuy at a lower price. I checked what it was doing in the morning and put in a sell order for only 1.2% up from what I bought it at -- while I was at school, it went up an additional 1.7%, and I would have made around $170 more.

I'm curious as to what all of you that trade frequently do while at school to ensure that you don't suffer too badly.

Sneak a trade, normally walking to the next lesson — takes some coordination skill :P

Congrats on choosing a top-5 gainer today, by the way.

I've recently started with online simulators - switched to Investopdeia thanks to JWinvestments. I go to a High School where we do everything on the computer. I just violate their TOS and go anyways during classes and boring seminars.

James: You mean congratulations on being an idiot and selling it two days ago for 7-8% less than I could have made. All thanks to not having had access at school .

Awe, that sucks. Bring your laptop, and invest in a 3G USB stick.

My school has the worst connection in the history of mankind. I can't even send text messages . I'm getting a new (smart)phone as soon as the one I want comes out though (should be this month) and with any luck I'll be able to trade a bit at school.

Ah cool. That could work. I go to a very "tech savvy" school, so I have no problems - other than a teacher warning me for not being on an "authorized" site. :P

[JWinvestments]

Ah well, there could have been a chance of it going down, just one of those things :P

Even now I'm posting this from school. Thanks fir the investopedia site JWinvestments.
