Some BONEHEAD Deleted the Aces High Long Term Stock Market Game

[ROX]

And I sir, AM that bonehead.            

I was trying to get the Annual Aces High Game off my portfilio, and "*click** it's gone.

I made the mistake and I apologize for not being more careful.

I WILL create another Long Term Stock Market Game (to the end of the year) and post all the joining info on this thread.  Same rules as the other one.  If folks who didn't join before want to when I creat the new one, fine.  We have a cool $1/2 Million to play with in the long-term game, not just $100,000K.


Again, my bad.

PW:           boogers



$500,000 and the rest of the year to expand your fortune!


Good luck and sorry for the inconvienience.




Your resident bonehead...

I can't anything until the game starts again tomorrow.  We can't even put in orders yet.

OTOH:  I feel horrible about the mishap.  I was only a little over a grand down and had already begun to do better when i messed up.  Since we're gonna continue this thread to liason on AH, feel free to tack that much on to your boastings at the end.  It's only fair.  I tried to bring it back but once it's gone it's gone.  That goes for the other 2 players--it was just the 4 of us.

I hadn't even looked at how others had done and hadn't made a trade in over a week.

Does anyone know how I can get that old Annual game off my portfolio list?  That's what I was trying to do in the firstplace.

Never drink & admin!

Maybe more folks will join this new one.  I did a suxxorzz job at advertizing the old one.

If you folks aren't in the Long Term Aces High Stock Market Game, you MAY be kissing hundreds of thousands of dollars good-bye.

Waffle has earned more than $166.000++ (he missed out on an additional $100K when I messed up and accidently deleted the game, so he gets that credit on TOP of the numbers you see).

You just might learn something about picking stocks.  He's garnered $260K ++ in less than a month!   

That is almost twice what I paid for the last house I bought.   

Want to learn about stocks?  Maybe make money in the RL??


Sign up.  It's free.

Ya might actually learn something.

Welcome guys!

Sorry for not trading lately, but the hurricane has me running--everybody is freaking out, and I am helping with H&W traffic on ham radio for the people who have lost cell phone ability.

Hop in...there's plenty of room...you get $500,000.00 for starters and it goes until around Christmas.

Good luck!

I'm in.

Don't have a clue what I'm doing.  Should be interesting....

marketwatch.com is by far the best you can do (considering the 20 minute delay on vse.marketwatch.com).

You can look at the 1 day, 5 day, 30 day, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year charts.  It helps to watch the news and Fox's Markets Channel too.  The guys on msnbc's stocks channel tend to gamble too much IMHO.

When oil drops, natural gas stocks (like Chesapeke) tend to rise.  When energy stock tanks, financials tend to rise and vice versa.

What suxxxor for us is that a stock can go from a price you want to sell at a profit on our virtual stock exchange can already be tanking (at a loss) by the time your 20 minutes later sale goes through.

See what waffle is doing for awhile.  The guy is raking it in bigtime.

New players interested in playing are encouraged to scroll up for the details and join us.  There is no cost and sheesh....ya just might learn something.



I now return you to your regularly scheduled hurricane.

Hurricane Trifecta H-I-J is sending stocks tumbling.

Keep your cards close--the Market is taking it in the shorts.

Ok, not sure how to word this and make sense     If I want to buy a stock and say today it is at 10 dollars and I think the market will drop tomorrow to say 8 dollars, how do I enter that?  Its kinda like I want the software to make the bid for me when it reaches a certain point whether it be today or tomorrow or next week.  And what type of order is this called.


On the other hand, It looks like a guy can sell a stock if it is high when you dont even own it and then at a later date buy it to replace it?  And what is that called.


And I know nothing about this margin stuff.
