"GM Dealers Buy Stock
In Show of Confidence

Several General Motors Corp. dealers are buying stock in the company as a way to show support for the auto maker's embattled management team, and to take advantage of what they see as a good value.
GM's 20-member dealer council snapped up $1.1 million of the auto maker's stock last week, or 107,000 shares, Duane Paddock, one of the heads of the organization and the owner of Paddock Chevrolet in Kenmore, N.Y., said. Mr. Paddock said the shares were purchased at an average price of $9.88, meaning the group is already showing a strong return.
GM shares recently traded at $13.51, up 2.5% over Friday's closing price. The stock has rallied from five-decade lows in recent sessions as investors digest the auto maker's new plan to raise $15 billion in liquidity through 2009 by cutting costs, raising fresh financing and selling assets."

What a load of horse shit >.>
 
I'm getting hit bad on this financial bear rally. It is clearly engineered by the ppt. They're creating a huge financials bubble, and I hope our game is still going on when it bursts!
 
Goddamnit, you would think that Mcdonalds beating earnings expectations would be good for stock holders but you would be wrong. -2.17%
 
Nice job kludge...im right behind you in 2nd ( and 5th).. playing 2 portfolios to test different strategies
 
Ok this is just retarded... I short a banking financial with most of what I've got... at $7.15

Capitol Bancorp assets $5.3B vs $4.4B a year earlier
[MarketWatch.com]

It's now $12.5 :(
 
stick a fork in me--I'm nearly done.

I think I'll just sell UVSE once it goes back up to what it originally was (or exceeds it slightly), then use the remaining money to short some other financial...then I'll just sit and wait.

Due to the duration of this game, I can almost guarantee I'll lose (shame this doesn't go to the end of the year).
 
When you look at it.... in 40 days time.. everything has to be shorter than it already is... like I mean.. come onnnn :confused:
 
amfi... I shorted at $3.67 with 2000 shares

It's now $6.22.... Hahaha... I'd be pissed if this was real.. :D
 
I shorted a stock when it spiked to .01, thinking it would go back down to sub-penny level. It then shot up to .75

how did that work out? :P

position: 43 nickname: Mitt Romneys Sideburns net worth: -$10,506.25 today's return:-110.51% total return: -110.51%

I'm not doing much better though :P

I shorted WaMu and it's...a BIG thorn in my side--that said, I think in a couple of weeks it'll be down.
