I can extend the end date if we all want..

Google screwed me, the bastards...them and the smurf people and their stone things.

I'm ok with the extension- it will take me most of this month to figure out what I'm doing, anyway Wink

Google came through for me today

Just bought a few stocks, which I know will put me higher than 12th tomorrow evening.

Me

Everyone's stealing my idea of shorting AMD. I made a whole $50 on that yesterday. Surprised

And now I find everyone's doing it. Mad

Yay! I finally managed to delete the surplus Luther! At least I think I did... Wink

What's all this shortening business anyway. The original Luther seems to be doing fine without shortening anything. "Verizon" is all I say Wink

You might find this page helpful for short term trading. Secret Clicky

I know, I know, I shouldn't be giving away my secrets. But hey, if it makes for a little closer competition, what they heck. Wink

I use finance.google.com Wink

And AEZ hits six and a quarter. Too bad I sold at 6.15. Damn. Wink

Actually, I'm doing bad today. I had a nice long list of stuff to watch, and was planning on buying some X before close yesterday. I don't. Today, X up 4.15% and likely to climb further..

A $3100 recovery today puts me into overall profit on my 2nd day, not bad. But will it last?

At market close we have Bustyn_Yuhrass still extending his considerable lead. Behind him Luther Blissett and thud419 are fighting for second place so hard that they don't notice rank outsider Callum racing past on the outside. Yesterday's hopefuls Netaddict and Felchpuppet had a bad day and dropped behind the scardy-cat know-it-alls who stuck the money in the bank and hoped everyone would lose money.

Back in the pack, Ivorgc pushed the boat out with a fearsomely couragous $13,000 spend on a single line - and dropped three quarters of a percent. Bad luck Ivor. Jock80 would have done better if he hadn't done the same as me and bought up CTRIP.COM at the top. I sold out Jock, here's hoping it makes it in the long term. SuperSexyTracy has an interesting portfolio, but with a spend of under $11,000, not enough stock to make it big.

Languishing in the field yesterday, Radden also fell under evil Bustyn's spell and bought up CTRIP.COM at the top, losing a massive $609 on the deal and falling even further down the field. Bad luck Radden, there's always tomorrow. Keeping his cards close to his chest, TSNerd passes Radden and then sells all his stock. Interesting ploy there, I wonder what that's all about.

Showing Ivorgc how to fail in style, Loading buys up only two lines and proceeds to drop nearly $1,000 on a spend of under $12,000 - an impressive 8.28%. But the prize for most astounding loss must go to chc74. Having bought up 1000 shares of a penny stock that proceeded to go up a bit, he went and bought up another 1000 whereupon they lost over half their value. That's got to hurt. Only a $8,000 exposure, but with a loss of $4,500 it's likely he'll be bringing up the rear when the positions are posted.

I like your recap Thud. Except for that evil Bustyn part. Wink

I do beg your pardon, trailing so far behind I missed him last night comes 3strikes_out, attributing his massive losses to a single line performing in fact a little better than chc74's penny stocks. For your enjoyment, here's its three month chart.

Sorry I called you evil, Bustyn Wink

It's not your fault that a bunch of us raided your portfolio for good ideas and chose the stock that was due to relax its upward surge the next day. Laughing

Yup - really blew that, didn't I!!!???

Don't know wether to leave them be in the hope that they'll recover, or dump them, and take the hit before it gets any worse!!
