Well Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time for the second annual Aces High Stock Market Game.
http://vse.marketwatch.com/Game/Homepage.aspx
As a quick recap, last year saw some pretty awesome work by most, and some pretty weak action by others (including myself). Here are the top 10 finishes:
1 Midnight Target $178,501.48 +78.50%
2Caligula $175,720.97 +75.72%
3octavius $174,051.86 +74.05%
4gollum $169,195.97 +69.20%
5Kurt $164,787.78 +64.79%
6GW327th $163,102.30 +63.10%
7BlueJ $162,356.60 +62.36%
8Gtora2 $157,409.05 +57.41%
9Sixpence $156,073.95 +56.07%
10Master Bates $150,793.16 +50.79%
So here are the details. The game starts the first of July. It's a sunday, but if I remember, you'll be able to make your orders then. You'll have 6 weeks to make as much money as possible.
The game name is AcesHigh2. The password is 2Weeks.
The lowest price stock to buy is $0.25, no maximum. You'll have $100,000 to start off with. There is a cost of $29.95 per trade exchange fee. Anyone can join the game at any time, however, you cannot reset your portfolio.
Even though it is a real world viable strategy to just sit on the money and earn interest, no person who does it in this game will be considered in the rankings if they have made 0 transactions.
Now, the settings may not be correct. I have made the game private and password protected. I do not know if it's viewable to anyone, and if you then have to type in the password. If it's not working as I assume it would, post here and I'll resolve the issue.
Also, all settings can be changed, provided that there is a good reason to do so. I changed the low stock price from $2.00 to $0.25 following requests for penny stocks.

I had a blast doing this last year:aok looking forward to another fun contest, This year I gonna learn how to do the short selling stuff:) ,
-
K i registered, even tho i havent a idea what the Stock Market is. :D
-
That's pretty funny, I thought I quit playing about 1/2 way through.
LOL... I will sell my secrets for ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
-
Had a blast last time 'round and possibly even learned something usefull.
Signed up for round two :)
-
LOL, I just unsubscribed to MarketWatch last week. Now I gotta reregister.
One bad trade did me in early last time and I had to nickle and dime my way to the end.
At least I'll have an excuse to watch Jim Cramer again. BOOYAH!:cool:
-
Oh this is fun. I enjoyed the first one but missed the second one. I'll play this one.
-
7 People signed up so far. No limit on amount of people that can sign up. Let's get a couple hundred.
-
I had a blast last year and its crazy how time flies when you have had a year like I have. So I am back in it and hoping to have a better run than last year.
-
Okay, am willing to be fodder just to learn a bit.

10Master Bates $150,793.16 +50.79%
No offense but my +38.90% was the winner.
The Standings and stats are still being modified for those that still have holdings in the original game.
I had sold my shares on the last day so my figures are still the same.
Original Game ID = AcesHigh
Password = Mustang

Im in. I have no clue how to do this but Ill learn.
BTW I W1LL PWN J00 A77!!!!:aok
-
LOL I joined another and made a few K in only a few hours. So Im starting to get the hang of it.
I dont know anything about the stock market so can someone tell me when it opens and closes and if its closed on weekends?
-
Hopefully this year I dont make an Arse of myself, and loose all my money
I am going to go all in with Airbus. That A380 will make millions for me....millions :)

Really? I'd say it'd be 50-50 if Airbus will tank, or soar.
-
What would be really fun is if you guys made a one month game every month and the people who didnt come in 1st divided the $14.95 or $16.03 and send it to the winner. That way if you win you get a free month of AH.:aok
Or everyone who joins puts $5 in and winner gets the "pot".
I know I would be one playing every month. Anyone else?
-
in! i'm hoping to learn some things cause my mayo jar buried in the backyard doesn't gain much intrest :)
-
LOL so much for apple. Im siting back watching my money grow laughing. Then go get some food and play AH for a bit and come back....
-$37,000!!!
GAWDDAM APPLE AND THIER IPHONE1!!
"anyone?"
-
14 People signed up so far. Does everyone like the settings? Do you guys want me to change anything?
-
What am i supposed to do. :huh

How do i make money. Sorry im a newb.(to the stock market not AH)
It sounds fun tho.
EDIT: ok i got to the players page and im signed in. :aok
-
The game starts on Sunday. These orders won't happen till monday, due to the market not being open.
You can buy and sell stocks, in the basics. You have 100 grand to spend, but it's 29.95 dollars per order trading fee. You can borrow double what you have, but it's a pretty high fee for the loan against your money.
From there, look up what Short Selling is, and start looking up companies you like and think would do well.
When the game starts, we'll help you out with the orders (we don't have access to them either).
-
Ok cool. :D
-
The slippery downward slope into bankrupcy begins :)
-
Over Valued stock is = Research in Motion (RIMM): Look for it to get close to the $250 per share mark over the next few weeks before they split it. What the hell have they done to get stock prices so high???? :D
-
Alright, my orders are placed. I'll have no control if they start tanking, so my haphazard method of picking stocks will have to pay off.
-
This game took way too much time. I was Master Bates.I took my eye off the ball due to that nasty interfereing thing called work and it cost me huge in the game. No way I came 10th...I was much lower than that. I was in second place until about a week or two before the game ended.

The present standings of that last game is wrong as it is based on current value of those that still hold stocks. It is still recalculating totals. I actually won that game with 138k. I had sold off all my stocks so my total remains the same.

Saburo's just mad that he's down after the first day...

LOL...er...no.
This is a game, a fun one at that.
However in your typical fashion, you just can't admit to being wrong.
Your opening post declaring the standings of the first game is wrong.
You have a choice:
1) Doing the right thing (I'll leave that for you to decide).
2) Ignore it for you just "possibly" can't be wrong.
Because of your past here as well as your post in this very thread, I'm betting on #2. That's your character. I'll enjoy this game regardless of your actions regarding the first game. ;)

I agree. I was not in 1st place when I quit playing.
-
Hey guys, I joined in last night as Ironious.
-
It's unfortunate that you couldn't pick up on the humor. It does make sense that the final standings were altered throughout the year. My portfolio was under 100 grand at the end, and when I saw it still under 100 grand, I just assumed nothing changed.
-
I almost pulled the same stunt I did last time and lost bigtime. I sent a short sell order on MOVI but it didn't go thru before the stock dropped. I wound up buying it after it bottomed out and started to climb back out if the cellar. Luckily I caught it before the damage was too great and got out from under it.
-
I spent my wad on Exxon and Microsoft. Can't go far wrong there.
-
I got Exxon too. Here's to hoping they go big.

The 20min lag is killing me.

I'm in this time.

Well I missed in this game with the Blackstone Group news. I have it in my other game that I am playing there and have made a killing on it in a week or so.
-
I joined an and in under slayr1 :)
-
Well I'm in despite the fact that I can't count, haven't followed the Stock Market for the past 11 years, and needed help to restructure my retirement plan to stop it from losing money every month.

-
Crap. Exxon didn't do so bad for me, as well as Time Warner. But GM took a huge nosedive.
I'm debating whether or not I should hold onto it, expecting a rally tomorrow, or not risk anything else happening (both good or bad).
-
STAY AWAY FROM ALL AUTO MANUFACTURERS!!!!!!!!
I am betting on a few techs and loads of hotels and mutual funds in this one. I dumped a bunch yesterday that looked bad and it didn't go through before the fell in the hole this morning.
-
up 2800 this week :D thank you iphone:aok
-
Gah, GM tanked even more. Plus I decided not to invest in Apple because I was betting that the iPhone would blow up randomly.

Pharm stocks do well in the morning... Why?

There is a pattern....
Meds in the Morning, Tech in the Afternoon, Oil up all Day.

Yeah the big uptick was the only thing that saved me from bottoming out - I have one massive looser that is probably going to drag me under (I bought it as a short term stock during a brief uptick in its price and forgot to sell it, I don't doubt its currently headed for the basement). I actually managed to sell off two consistent dogs.

I seen MRO climb and bought a few shares... I've been selling and rebuying AAPL as it rises and drops... you did great buying AAPL at $126.00 I'm jealous!!!!
Buying some XOM, just a few shares.
You're a hard Man to catch but I'm trying to keep that $200.00 difference between you and I and grab the number 2 spot at the last minute. I don't know what happened to Ironious... plus the 20 minute lag sux.

I bought AAPL on the first day after the iPhone was launched and it was going through the roof. I dumped it just before it dropped later in the week and now I just bought back into the AAPL stock.
However my shares of MT have not been sold yet and the game is locking out those funds. Every other trade (buy or sell) is going through but for some reason a couple of stocks are not going anywhere up to 3 days after the sell order was posted.

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!!!

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.
Mac
:D
Mac
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
Mac
-
I'm done with you Donzo.
Lie to me some more.
Mac
-
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?
-
I told you Donzo I have no time for Liars and Thieves.
Nuff said,
Mac
-
If that's the case, get some more input and prove that I am a liar and a thieve.
Or is that too much to ask? I have nothing to hide because I have done nothing wrong.
The only thing that is wrong here is your interpretation of what you are seeing.
-
Ok, the market is closed.
Here is what I see for me:
1
Donzo
$122,591.12
-1.66%
+22.59%
41
I ask that eveyone in the game do the following:
-Click on the Players & Rank link
-Highlight my row (Donzo) and copy the info
-Paste what you copied into a post in this thread
-Do the same for you own info (post it in the same post)
I have a hunch that you see your own info differently from what others see until you make a sell and realize a gain/loss.
Thank you. With your help we may just help put Mac at ease.

PahLeez... don't try the "I don't know what happened." stuff.
It's obvious that you haven't chnged in Net Worth in a long time.
Like I said before.... Liars and Thieves.

AWMac,
Sir, you might want to check out all his trades and performance. Keep in mind the short sells as well.
He's not cheating.
Heck, he was at $134-$136k way ahead of the pack awhile ago. I tracked those sales so I don't suspect cheating. I don't know how it is possible to cheat either.
I know this game means a lot to you as it is very competitive and fun, however, for you to publicly accuse him as you have is rather low of you. Perhaps you should do a bit more research.
Again check his trades and what the relative values are.
Remember a short sell will show as a negative % but a positive profit.
I respect you and value your writings. You wear your feelings on your sleeve in a very honest way. That in itself is very refreshing.
I do hope you'll investigate further. I am confident that you'll see that Donzo hasn't been cheating. His trades pretty much back up his position. I'm confident that you'll end up doing the right thing in this case when you learn the actual truth.

I have some stocks sitting there in the nether world of not being sold but the orders are processed. So I am thinking I might just bail out and restart.

Man the only gains today was with APPL... check that watermelon out.

But there's always that 20 minutes after the Exchange closes that figures change... the "Nut Cuttin".

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

It won't allow a transaction to be placed if the limit is set below $0.25.
However it might (not sure though) allow a transaction if the limit is set at $0.25, but it might allow a transaction to complete below the $0.25 limit as long as the transaction was triggered at $0.25 or higher.
The same thing if (but not sure) if you set a limit to purchase @ $0.25 but the actual purchase drops below that.
Interesting situation.

Thanks!
Don't give up as you've had your great days!
I've done it with probably ~90% of short selling with the cheaper volatile stocks.
Donsco has been doing his with ~98% buying long of cheaper stocks.
The last two weeks I've been setting my trigger prices using the limit function. It works great!
The game's not over until the fat lady sings.

DAYUM SaburoS!!!!!!!!!!! :cry
Excellent play this morning!!!!!
With only 4 days left it's going to be real hard to catch you (provided you don't make any foolish mistakes :D )
WTG!!!!

Thanks!
This is where the game and reality separates. The 20 minute delay gives us a window to see actual trends. I was just lucky as no way would I have guessed how far it would drop or that it would climb up past the opening price. Short selling @$6.40/share, I'd be at a big loss if not the buy to cover earlier.
WHEW!!
:D

DaaaaaaaaaM
Not Worthy!!!
SaburoS someone *cough, cough* should do this for real on a permanent basis!!!!
Dude you ARE the MAN!!! I never seen a move like that!

Thanks!
Look at the first 3-4 weeks of my transactions/performances and you'd not be saying the same thing. A few hunches that I either wasn't patient enough, wrong limit prices, or just plain wrong in my hunches.
I just got extremely lucky in my last huge gain.
I think it would be interesting if we all formed a new game after this one but using a more realistic starting figure of $1k. It would force a more creative way of playing as well as staying away from the huge dollar stocks.
-
Well. I'm definitely using the long term strategy and that's probably the wrong one for this game. Unless they discover a new layer of dead dinosaurs XOM is a gainer. APPL is an aggressive tech and has always thrived under Jobs.
In a 30 day window, it may not be the best pick. But I wish I had $10K in each 3 years ago.
-
SaburoS and Donzo,
Hey guys when the game is almost over in the next days ahead you gotta teach me how you did that.
I know nothing about "short sell" and "triggers" or "buy to cover". I would like to learn how that is done?
Thanx
<<>>
Mac
-
Mac,
PM me your phone number if the explaination below is not clear. There are some other points as well but too much typing for me to go into.
Let's see if I can type the explaination...
When 'short selling' at a 'limit' (the trigger), you are committing to sell a particular stock at that price (or hopefully near it) in the future.
Basically you are selling a stock you don't own yet, selling it on credit (so to speak).
You'll make this type of transaction only on those stocks you think are going to go down in value.
After you've completed your 'short sell', you'll then put in a 'buy to cover' transaction at a 'limit' (trigger) at a value you think the stock will drop at.
Let's say AAPL is trading at $146.00 and you think that it is overvalued at this time (thinking it will drop in value). You then put in a 'short sell' order of 100 (just an example) shares @$146.00 limit. As long as the price stays at $146.00 or above, the transaction will go through provided your balance/credit are good. The transaction will not take place as long as the price of the stock does not reach $146.00 or higher.
In our example, let's say the price stayed at $146.00. You have now sold 100 shares of AAPL (on credit). You are now committed to 100 x $146.00 = $14,600.00 which is now reserved for you when you finally complete your future 'buy to cover' transaction.
So you think AAPL will drop to $126.00. You put in a 'buy to cover' order of 100 shares at the $126.00 'limit'.
When the price drops to $126.00, that transaction will be triggered. As long as the value isn't bouncing wildly you should have a completed transaction at $126.00/share.
You have now bought your 100 shares you sold off earlier for $12,600.00.
The net result is you have made $2,000.00 in the above transaction.
Remember that your 'limit' pricing is a trigger in that when your stock hits that value, the transaction then gets started. If the value of your stock is changing by the second (sometimes even minute) at the time of the transaction, your end result might not be at the value you set it at.
There are other things about short selling as well, but I'll stop here. Too much text as it is.

i stopped playing the game a while back but i wish i would have know how to use the short sell:(

I was 29th when I made my last trade & now I'm 5th... Blind luck.
-
SaburoS....WOW:O
I was eyeing LUM for a short sell but read somewhere trading had been ordered to cease for it. Man, I wish I would have gone ahead with it.
Good job :aok
-
Thanks!
Well I'm glad I didn't read what you read :D
Talk about being in the right place at the right time...
I just saw a negative report on LUM and jumped on that short sell transaction...right after it had peaked somewhat.
Pure luck.
WHEW!

This morning I watch my 2 of my stock's tank that have been doing so so. Not great but I was expecting to move back up today like yesterday. And thus far today they have completely tanked..
Spherion Corp - SFN
Aftermarket Technology Corp - ATAC
I can't seem to find a purpose for the sudden fall out..
Suggestions?
-
Why did you choose those stocks in the first place?
-
Man I just can't get my MOJO working... been a bad few days with RL issues.
Can't focus.
I'd be lucky to hang onto the third spot at the end.
SubaroS and Donzo are way far ahead of the game.
:aok

Ones a local company does alot of outsoursing for jobs. ATAC does the remanufacting for allison transmissions.
-
Okay, but WHY did you choose those stocks?
What reports showed favorable short term growth?
-
Quick question....
Pricing Type gives the options: Market; Limit and Stop.
Could someone explain the differance between Stop and Limit in layman's terms for me please?
Is Limit for selling and Stop for buying?
-
I'm still learning, I use limit for buying and selling.
Here's a detailed explaination (https://trading.scottrade.com/home/Glossary.aspx?lang=en#S) from Scottrade:
Limit Order - Order to buy or sell a stated amount of stock at a specified price or better.
Market Order - Order to buy or sell a security at the best available price. Most orders executed on the exchanges are market orders.
Stop Limit Order - An order to buy or sell at a specified price or better (called the stop-limit price) but only after a given stop price has been reached or passed. For example, an order to buy 100 MSFT 55 Stop 56 Limit, means that if the market price reaches 55 (stop price) or better (in the case of a buy, it would be less than 55) the order is then triggered to execute the order as a limit order at 56 or a better (lower) price. Stop-limit orders avoid some of the risk a stop order has, but like all limit orders, carries the risk of missing the market all together, since the specified limit price or better may never occur.
Stop Order - A stop order is an order to buy or sell a stock once the price of the stock reaches a specified price, known as the stop price. When the specified price is reached, your stop order becomes a market order.

Thanks SaburoS :)
-
Well I tried my best and could only manage 30 out of 31. Think I'll just bet on horses in future I have a better chance that way.
Goaly. An inspired jump at the end .
-
Hey Hey....there's still one day left.
Ending date is 8/10.
Don't give up!
-
Ohoh...
Remember Greg Norman at the Masters?
LOL, glad this isn't real!

I'm riding this down to the bitter end (I forgot to pack a parachute)!!!

I'd like to see Donzo and SubaroS do a training class on trading...
Someday we'd all be rich or better well off.

Looks like its a good thing I'm not allowed to have anything to do with the church's finances... :eek:

All we need is the extra $100K laying around to get started.:furious

Gah, I wanted more. I had Comcast up to 105 total worth, but didn't sell. It took me down t 95 the next day.
As always, it was a fun competition.
