Ah ok thanx.

Activision did well today, was up to high by the time I got online so I didn't buy any. I am still gambling on Greentech going up tomorrow if they get approval for the Breast Cancer Drug

Millie WTF. Where is your portfolio?

From a different board:

I tried to game the wacky VSE interface, using my real time ticker vs. their delayed figures to recognize a nice gap in Chipotle, which I promtly shorted the hell out of, with a cover buy at the lower current and accurate price. The VSE seems to execute trades whenever it damn well pleases though, and I got my virtual day trading ass handed to me when it did so at a much higher price. Cheaters never prosper, evidently I'll behave from now on."

Prescient is in the lead with his 32,000 shares of Richmont Mines!

Netflix is down!! Why would you forsake me like that Hatorade?!

lol sorry about that they had a shaky merger...once it pans out it will go back up at least double.

Edit: fucking called it already up .01 woot

Just started a minute ago and bought a bunch of stocks. They have yet to go through, so in 20 minutes or so, you'll see them appear.

I'm not going to have a heck of a lot of time over the next few months to manage this portfolio, so I'm just going to sink the 100k into a handful of long positions and avoid day trading. In all likelihood I won't come out on top, but hopefully I won't come out on bottom either.

Cool. Better when you leave it alone anyways.

And I guess I missed the insider info on Richmond Mines. Blue Horeshoe loves Anacott Steel.

Ouch millie on the Goldman Sach....

Millie · 12-04-2007, 11:49 AM

LOL, it'll come around! I hope! :\

Heh. Actually, buying any IB shares right now, even though GS is one of the only places with its shit together in that industry, in this market is pretty much suicide. But, whatev. It's not my real money.

Google is an unstoppable fucking beast.

(At least until the MS-led cabal manages to get some antitrust legislation going next year)

If I were an outsider I would probably be heavy in MS stock, but being on the tail end of a 6 month contract at MS headquarters I will never own their stock. I've just witnessed too many shenanigans to give them my money :P
