Didn't hear you mention it. While it is nothing wrong to play with stocks (many stockbrokers and stock related workers out there are Christians, like my ex-boss in my last summer job), we also need to be careful about it. Stock values go up and down, so is your heart if you invested money on it, no matter how small the amount you put in. After all, the reason you invest your money in it is to make profit, otherwise why would you use extra time, money and energy to play with it? That's why while my sister also play with some stocks (and have relatively bad mood every time she lost money on it), I don't want to touch this matter. For me, it is WAY too much pressure to play with stocks - you got to check it out constantly if you don't want to lost money, not to mention make some money. As bible said, you heart is where your money is. If you cannot find the balance between playing stocks and your spiritual life, I seriously ask you to consider withdraw the money and stop playing stocks for a while. I mean, if you are not careful, before you know it, you are going to spend more and more time with stocks then with God. Hmm, you play stocks also? Didn’t hear you mention it.
