What a freakin week I've had at work. My boss AND my keyholder both went on vacation this week and the other Manager is having her knee operated on so I had to lose a day off and the only other people that know how to run the store in the deal. Naturaly, Murphy has been dogging me. My backoffice computer crashed yesterday. This morning, I walk in to find my refridgeration has been off all night. (We had Blue Bell 3/$10 and I had stocked up, too) One of the little old ladies I deliver groceries to is having an alzheimer's all-star moment and I'm not to sure she wasn't going to shiv me in her kitchen.(Exit stage left!)

Oh, I forgot this was going on... how's the weather down there Mac?:D

I really, really suck.  Can I give you all advice.  If you see me sell, buy.  If you see me buy, sell.  Best advice I can give.  Sort of backs me into a hole though.  :(

You can do that yourself. Short sell the next stock you feel is going to go up. See what happens. Don't forget to use the 'limit' function to roughly control the purchase or sell price of the stock.

LOL... use the Force Luke....

Yeah I was thinking of doing this for real.... someday.

Did you see that?

Good move huh?

:D

Mac

I'm showing AAPL trading at $145.74 and my Portfolio is showing last trade at $145.16... Guess the game locks up sometimes.

But it was great seeing you and RPM change places all day long
:rofl

Great Job

Ok, I've semi-officially given up. All my stocks, including my gainers, with one exception are now tanking and I'm too stubborn to cut and run. Actually I should be thankful for the reminder of why I'm NOT a daytrader.

AAPL is at $146.52 and for about 45 minutes before the Market closed my last in portfolio for AAPL was $145.14  regardless of the actual Market quote. WTF?

Like I hit a wall and numbers would change.... except for Donzo's.....

Hmmmmmm...

:rofl

Mac

Anyone else having the numbers freeze up on them towards the end of the day?

Seagoon ya gotta think about it...

Apple AAPL is doing good because of Mac, iPOD and iPhone...
Amazon AMZN is doing good because of Harry Potter book....This will die off shortly.
Exxon XOM is doing good because of SUVs...

Get rid of the trash yer holding and place more shares of AAPL into yer portfolio... add a few shares of AMZN and a few of XOM and yer on yer way to the Promise Land...no pun intended Brother.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=AAPL

and VSE is showing AAPL now at last of: $142.57 which is just the 1yr Target estimate.  

Something is really screwed up with this game.

WTF?

Mac,

You will only see numbers change if there is any change in the player's net worth.  This will only change if the price of what they are holding changes in between you clicking the Players and Rank link.
