CF.com stock game 2/13/08

Congrats to Fritz with a 2.96% move today. GOOG and WB lined your pockets and bought you a used flats bote! Having to cover your YHOO short position cost you the motor…

Bitesize stayed in cash today and came in 2nd place.

Matt Wilson rides the DRYS ship…cha ching! CSL wasn’t bad either.

On the bottom end calm like a bomb, Mulvey and skinnej bombed with their shorts on FSLR…looks like they are hoping for some profit taking tomorrow…ouch!
Bonzo72 pulled his pants up from the bottom rung with YHOO, KRY and BIDU (which is up $20 in after hours!)

Again, I reset the minimum stock price to zero and extended the game until 12/31/08. I plan on keeping up with the short-term stuff too.

I can not get a limit order to trigger for the life of me !!!

I was wondering about that myself. Being a newby, I thought it was just me … oh well

I think it takes about 20 minutes for an order to actually post so you can see it. It is a bit aggravating.

the only thing I can think of is the price has to be below the limit price for a buy for the full 20 minutes. if it moves back up it resets the clock. I was buying to cover FSLR limit 224. It finally got executed about 55 minutes later at 223.46. Which was fine looking back, but very frustrating at the time.

my orders usually post within 20 minutes, but i’ve had one in for over an hour that is in my orders list as pending, but won’t go through. I don’t have a limit on it, but i really want it to post, so i can REEEEEEAP the benefits of it and then bail. my other practice account isn’t getting any attention. I like the competitive nature of this one much better. stock game fishing tourny anyone?

I used to fish a little, but a little wouldn’t do it, so a little got more and more

14’ of aluminum bolted to 15 horses!

I believe if you are trying to trade something that is thinly traded or has very little volume you might run into issues on a market order.

Took another approach today and decided to lose a ton of money. HAve it setup to pay out 110K when WB comes back. I think the way the market is I should be fine, Afterall the game is going to last forever.....

He took the bait like a jugbelly redfish on an olive and white clouser.

Grady, found out about dryships when i saw a ticker run across the bottom of a news channel about a year ago. Did some looking into them and found that they are a pretty awesome company. my dryship search also took me to Star Bulk (SBLK) which is a small company with 11 ships of the larger type, and TBS international (TBSI) which is a company of i think 30 or so ships that are smaller and geared towards bulk shipment of goods into shallower ports. I’m not anticipating this dryships run to last too long though. i keep setting my stop higher and higher. And no, i tried to purchase another stock, put in the order at 2:30 and it never went through!

I used to fish a little, but a little wouldn’t do it, so a little got more and more

Thank you for the info Matt. Will look into them tmrw.

fritz that might be a bit of a longshot on WB but I hope you know something I dont if it gets in the mid 36 I will take home about 30k in real cash.

WB could be at 50 before you know it.......But it could also be at 28 as well

your right, Ive had that stock for a while just sitting on it watching it go up and down. it pays nearly a seven percent dividend so I just keep reinvesting that and buying more when it drops so hopefully someday it will make me some good money.I would like to see that jump to 50
