Donzo,

I know this and this is what I'm talking about.

When I buy AAPL at $143.40 and the stock soars to $146.50 my net worth should reflect to see this.

Look at AAPL right now and see what it closed at and then go into VSE and check anyone how had AAPL stock and see what the VSE closed the stock at.  VSE is using the 1yr estimated quote and a closing price.

If you can see this then there is no better way for me to explain it to you or you are unable or unwillingly to see this.  No matter how you do the math it doesn't work out.

BTW how do you do those $4,000.00 leaps and bounds when the stock you are holding is in the RED and not moving?

Just a question.

That's why I hate short selling in here. Trade times and prices are all out of whack.

BTW, Mac... The weather is nice down here.:D

It must have something with how you are looking at or how the webpage is refreshing for you on your computer.  I can't explain what you are (or are not) seeing on your end.

And those "$4,000.00 leaps and bounds" you are wondering about...the math explains it perfectly.  Today I am holding Amazon I bought at $84.89 and it topped out today at $89.00.  I have 2700 shares of it so at the $89 high today my net worth went up by $11,097.

There is a good chance that when you do your refreshing of the list you see my numbers change because Amazon was very active today.  Therefore it's price might change with every refresh.  On the other hand, other people's numbers might not change because the price of what they are holding did not change in between the time you last refreshed the list.


$145.14  <<< is what I see for you and everyone else that owns AAPL as the last price.

I have not seen anything that looks out of the ordinary with the numbers.  Maybe you are not understanding how the setup works or there is a refresh problem on your end.

Keep in mind that there is a 20 minute delay in the game from real world. The actions you do though are based on current values but are reflected 20 mins later.
Although the trading stops fairly early, the values still fluctuate based on real world performance (again, delayed 20mins).

You got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them.
Know when to walk away, know when to run...

or the NYSE will have yer arse at the end of the Day.

It was my turn to get lucky. Man, this is sure exciting. I really like the short sell option.

Well away on vacation did nothing for me....Not to mention I saw on Friday that the stock market took a tank sometime last week and was having trouble coming out of the hole. I have said that a correction was coming for a while. I still don't think its finished but several stocks took a beating now that I am reading up on this stuff.
