Someone is in 8th without making any buys.

Bloody apple have gone to the dogs, I've lost a packet on those. Their rubbish showing yesterday sure didnt help. I should have sold when they "recovered" to $178, they are $160 at the time i type this.

They are calling for a 400pt drop on the Dow tomorrow.

Nice swing in C rinthea. I swear to god i hate this site. I placed trades 8(?) days ago and they still haven't gone through.

Jimmy Carter wuwu · 01-28-2008, 05:37 PM

I am currently 9th but the day before went to 40. This market is crazy right now.

Chips · 01-29-2008, 09:39 AM

I've given up on first place or even just finishing in top 10. Now my goal is to finish in last place.

rinthea · 01-30-2008, 10:46 PM

yeah c's had a good bounce... i did a good job of getting the timing completely wrong

Probably should have bailed last night after the rate cut bounce. But decided to be a bit more agressive and aim for the market to test the 1400 area in the sp500

rinthea · 02-01-2008, 03:54 AM

surely theres some on YHOO

prescient63 · 02-01-2008, 02:18 PM

I found trades get cancelled at the end of the day if you use some sort of limits, I just use markets now.

I have a feeling something scary is going to happen soon. I'm flat in the hope of selling a small bounce (probably around 1400 SnP somewhere) before some hard selling and a test of lows. It might skip the bounce though

Anyone got any tips on how to get me to $0? im trying to beat the guy in last place to 0 but hes got about a $40k lead on me.

I'm by no means an expert on this but first I'd sell everything you have, then do a bit of research and then find a stock that is expected to drop a lot due to not meeting investor expectations or whatnot, then dump all your cash into that one stock. Once the stock drops a bunch, just repeat.

It's actually not as easy as this or people would be selling short all the time.

Edit: You could write a script to enter in trades for a penny stock at one stock at a time and let yourself get killed w/ transactions costs. That is the only sure way to becoming broke that I can figure out.
