C'mon RPM, Ironious and MT... I'm getting a bit disappointed in you guys.

I need you Dawgs closer to me to make this fun again!

I don't want to be the only one to take out Donzo!!!

Mac

Watch the Market... buy low, sell high.... short to cover and sell short by Day.

Get rid of oil in the Morning, XOM and MRO and buy Pharms, PFE... Buy Techs in the Morning, hold til mid Afternoon then sell high and rebuy low, AAPL and such.

Think of this as YOUR money!!!

Any gain is better than no gain at all !!!

Here is the secret:

Pharms: All the old folks, me included, take there meds in the morning and renew prescriptions by Noon or Mid Afternoon. Buy Pharms in the morning low and sell high after 2:30pm. Works for me.

Techs: When you need tech stuff done or need to buy new tech stuff you have to wait til Noon to break away to buy the crap. It will rise then by 2:00pm CST it will drop... sell and wait til 3:30pm and rebuy it low. After 4:00 EST they still trade after the NYSE is closed for 20 minutes... this is the nut cuttin time.... the last 20 minutes can kill a Man. Hold on fast to what you believe... I've seen major drops and rises in the last 20 minutes than I see during the regular day.

Oil: Depends on the time... hard to watch sometimes. But Oil has been a good bet so far. Don't buy alotta shares just enough to cover any other losses or sell high... Gotta watch Oil... and the News.

Holidays: Near the time between Thanksgiving to Christmas go with stock like Best Buy, BBY or Walmart WMT, Target TGT... stay away from Sears and JCPenny stock. Remember Santa Clause is watching... Play the Reindeer Game tight and you win.

Power: Yer on yer own with Power Companies... I don't trust them...Period.

Auto Companies: Avoid them like the Plague... They will kill you and Lie. It's an Ex Wife in the making.

Just a bit of my expierience, hope it helps.

I had 1st place for almost 4 minutes this morning...

The question I have is even though you have a
$119,758.62 Net Worth
-3.93% Todays Return
+19.76% Total Return

Why does yer Net Return never change and is fixed upon the number "758.62"? Seems strange that everyone else's numbers change, yours tend to hang.

Hmmmmmmmmm....

Anyone else noticed this? With a neg -3.93% during the day his Net Worth should change to reflect this.

I don't see a "Net Return". I see a "Cash" and that is what is hanging around the $758.62 you stated. Cash plus the market value of what I own equals Total Equity.

And my net worth does change to reflect the -3.93% I am for the day...I started the day at $124,000.

AWMac · « **Reply #97 on:** July 17, 2007, 01:19:00 PM »

That's very funny Donzo that when I hit the Players and Rank Score everyones changes but yours... before I mentioned this your Net Worth just hung there, unmoving.

Say it isn't so......

Try the "Net Worth" column Donzo.

I don't know what your doing but the math doesn't work out and I'm calling you on this.

Prove me wrong.

I want everyone to hit the "Players and Rank" and see that everyones Net Worth changes except for Donzo. Seems a bit wrong that you have a -6.14% Todays Return and your Net Worth never changes.

Explain that Donzo.

Mac

Donzo · « **Reply #99 on:** July 17, 2007, 01:27:24 PM »

I just hit "Players & Rank" and I see $117,011.10 as my Net Worth.

I don't know what you think you are seeing, but I am seeing nothing out of the ordinary.

And like I said...my net worth was over $124K this morning. Right now it is $117K....there is the -6.something%

Funny how everyone elses Net Worth changes except for yours Donzo...

I'm thru playing with you..... I don't deal well with Liars and Thieves.

I called you out on it and you tried to change a few things and now you still sit there unchanging.

This game is hosed... at least you could have done the math better.

Mac

Worthless.

Word.

Man, talk about a rant.

I am not seeing anything out of the ordinary. Is anybody else seeing what you are seeing?

And you accuse me of cheating? Man, that's rich. First, explain how I'd do this. I have nothing to do with this VSE website. So how exactly can I cheat? And how is it that I see was looks to be normal and you see something different. I told you what I was seeing and it makes sense. Did you ever stop and think that it is something on your end that is messed up? A chaching issue or something? But to come out and accuse me cheating just because something doesn't look right is sad.

For the record I am not cheating, nor would I ever entertain doing that.

Please, Mac, why not get in touch with the people who run that game and ask them if something looks fishy with my Net Worth.

AWMac · « **Reply #102 on:** July 17, 2007, 01:42:40 PM »

All this is what I'm talking about...

$119,758.62

The .758.62 is a stop gap in the gap he had set to prevent him from falling below this. He forgot to manipulate the -3.93% which should reflect upon his Net Worth throughout the day.

His net worth will sit there as we rise and drop... his will never rise and drop.

To prove my point. Keep checking the Players and Rank section and the Net Worth column... notice that everyones networth changes? Except for Donzo even though he has a NEGATIVE return?

He hosed the game.

I'm done with you Donzo.

Lie to me some more.

Mac

Donzo · « **Reply #104 on:** July 17, 2007, 02:02:55 PM »

Unbeliveable!

You accuse me of cheating based on something only YOU are seeing.

You have not contacted the people who run the game, nor have you waited to get any input from others in our game.

Instead you get upset and rant on about how I must be manipulating the game or cheating. This is a typical response from someone who does not understand something and choose not to look into the "whys".

Be done with me all you want Mac. I am still in this game and I am in no way cheating.

Just hit "Players & Rank" again and this is what I see:
1
Donzo
$116,982.77
-6.16%
+16.98%
41

Do you think you can eliminate me by trying to make me feel bad about something I did not do? Is your plan to run me out of the game on shame or something?
