Bear Market Game Plan
September 17th, 2009The rally from March 9th, 2009 is still going strong. However, dear Survivor, you shouldn’t allow yourself to get complacent.
The Bear market that started back in October 2007 and picked up steam in September 2008 hasn’t died. It has just been hibernating!
Now is the time to start to lock down profits, raise cash and prepare for a resumption in the worst bear market since the Great Depression. Here are the steps to take:
The times ahead are going to be rough. What will you do: Wimper or Whomp ‘em? When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Good luck.
Portfolio Glitches Today
September 16th, 2009We are currently experiencing technical difficulties relating to portfolio values, account balances and transaction history. We hope to have your account back to normal shortly.
Thanks for your patience!
The Wall Street Survivor Team
Can the Stock Market Rally Continue?
July 29th, 2009Profit is in the air! Earnings season is here once again as companies report 2nd quarter profits. So far, the results are surprising and pushing stocks higher:
This rally which is being led by technology and financial shares started Monday, July 13th and has lifted stocks about 12 percent.
Can the rally in stocks continue?

V3 Header, Coming Sept. 2009
Database Upgrade
July 10th, 2009We are updating the database so that orders and trade executions can be processed much faster. Much of the work is done at night and may cause the site to be down after 11PM eastern time.
We are sorry for the delays. Please bear with us as we work to make WSS faster, bigger, stronger!!!
New Stock Screener
June 19th, 2009We have a new Stock Screener which we think will be much more helpful to Survivors looking for stocks to buy or short.

Survivor Spy
May 27th, 2009Would you like to know when your favorite Survivor Makes a Trade?
Imagine getting an email alerting you a top Survivor has just bought Sold, or Shorted some stock. That’s the premise behind a new premium service called “Survivor Spy”.
For a nominal monthly fee (about $19.95), you will be able to get instant emails delivered to your inbox as soon as one of your favorite Survivors makes a trade.
Look for this to arrive later this summer.
New Weekend “Mystery Stock” Game
February 3rd, 2009We’re about to launch a new game designed to keep Survivors engaged during the long weekend when stock markets are closed.
It’s the “Mystery Stock” game! Every Friday after the market closes, we’ll post in the Forums one or two clues about a “mystery” stock. On Saturday, we’ll post one or two more clues about this stock. On Sunday, we will provide one or two last clues about this mystery stock.
The first person to email the WSS Community Manager (community at wallstreetsurvivor dot com) the correct name of the stock, their survivor name and their T-shirt size, will win a WSS T-shirt. All other correct entries received before Monday at 9:30AM will be entered into a random drawing for 50,000 Loyalty Points, 1 month of free Real-time Quotes and a Bull/Bear puppet.
The first game will start at 4:30PM on Friday, February 6th in the forums, here. Please let us know how you like the “Mystery Stock” game by leaving a comment below.
