Virtual Stock Exchange game for RPFs members

[Fox McCloud]

well, I made a huge jump today--from 27th place all the way up to 8th--I also have the biggest gain today.

Either way, it'll be interesting to see how things go today.

edit: I hate the programming behind their little stock-exchange system, it glitches up a lot and doesn't respond to what you wanted.

for example, I told it to buy-to-cover Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae...then I thought "you know, better not, I'll just keep it"....so I canceled both orders....I checked in my order status and it said "cancelPending" meaning it was canceled (the blue cancel button was gone)....well guess what? It bought to cover anyway <_<

It's a nifty program, but I don't like the inner-mechanics of it and how it operates.

Better check those stats again, Fox. I knew Freddie would recover when talk of a bailout was happening.

Whats up with changing the minimum trade price in the middle of the game?

Kludge is trying to screw you and I over because we've invested in ultra-cheap stock, and you made a huge gain on it in a single day.

Basically he's stacking the deck in his favor

I was feeling insecure and had to easy it up. Now that it has done its duty of pissing of MRS though, it has semi-returned to $.05.

But remember, MRS, I do it to protect you from that dreadful rounding bug. You are welcome.

Doesn't matter anymore, even if I deleted the inactive, it'd take two pages to fit everyone now.

I have a handicap in this game. I am at work while the market is open. I work in construction and have no access to the internet to see how I am doing during the day. It is irritating. Oh well, I made some good moves today.

just set limits. That way you can have it automatically sell stuff when it hits a certain mark, and you don't have to be there to do it yourself.

NPIA was trading in the 1/1000 of a cent range. Then it spiked up to 1 cent. I shorted about 130,000 shares for around $1300. I figured I could pick up a few hundred dollars when it dropped back down to the sub penny level.

It didnt.

That very same day it was bought out by another company and its symbol was changed to NPIE. It is now trading at 50 cents a share. My losses are now at -$64,000.

Told you my way was the right way. You need me to regulate you.

Authoritarianism FTW.
