Yes profits can and often does effect stock prices due to speculation based on the earnings information... but that's not what I meant by "direct connection". My point was that money isn't somehow dumped into the stock price directly by the company... and sometimes companies report great earnings and the stock takes a dump... it's all based on speculation of that stocks future and supply and demand.

Adictive game, I just spent a half hour trading/ buying at first, then understanding the short thing, now I'm all short sales, crazy values.
Fun way to waste some time.

Its hard though; I thought I bought the Sequoia short at $87 or so, but when I looked at my portfolio, it showed I bought short at $78. Then 30 seconds later, it was $87 on the market again and I was upside down. That one hurt, and I still don't know what happened...

I've doubled in the past 5 hours in spite of the stocks taking a dump.
