I figured at the start that Boeing would be way to volatile to rely on for this short a term, but after hearing how Airbus tanked I wished I had invested in it. Ah well. For some things you just have to be there already.

Mine to. They must update the server at the same time and the orders go through at the same time.

I had read a story a week ago about Verasun coming out this week, and I had planned to buy stock, figuring it would take off. It did. I got a late start because I'm so far behind the rest of you time-wise. Then for some reason it never took my order, and it didnt show up on my screen until today. Now I'm over 200 bucks in the hole because of this stock that dropped back down 10% after a hot first day. When it wasnt there yet at the end of trading yesterday I tried to cancel it but didnt see it. I thought I had dodged the bullet and it didnt go through. Stupid me. LOL

If its that buggy you will loose interest pretty soon. Maybe there are better games out there.

Some folks are going to make some money on the London exchange with EADS after the A380 news - lost 38% on the news and went back over 7 % today .
Aviation business

so news sensitive. BAe systems did the same a few years ago - went down 50% on bad news of Nimrod and gained it all back in 6 months.

Yeah, but I count on it being sensitive. The airlines are no different. I'm doing pretty well on niche airlines right now. My railroad investments are doing well too. Those should start falling within a couple weeks, I just hope I can get out on the top of the arc.

I saw CASY on CNBC and put in a buy order for 1000 shares when the market opened. I must have screwed up the order because it never went thru and expired.

Working good for me so far. Longest transaction I've had is 23 minutes to complete. I dumped Toyota this morning... thought it'd go up with their euro sales announcement.. it was gone in 10 minutes. I doubt KT, which I've got 15% of my equity in is gonna rebound any time soon. Hope it does before end of the month
