I love it when new people "get it". Thhis game is great. Funny you say not knowing "shorting" (cont)

Posted by: CrockettsMafia (a.k.a del_WHQ_CrockettsMafia) on Aug 03, 10:08 in response to Filmstardust's post Thanks again, Willroast! I will join the port league as...

As a new player you say you only learned about shorting a month ago. It makes me laugh at my ignorance because I started the game in 2000 and I never even heard of "shorting" before 3 months ago.

Since then, I learned though about that and many other things, I have pulled in $100M, so the money is definetly there for the taking.I guess the moral is that we're all basically the same at some point. I grew my port like an absent father for 10 years and got a nice treasure cheast of cash in the process but it took a million years and you'll come into it guns blazing. But we'll both end up being fake money rich yo!!!

Someone please comment on stocks, this is Friday. If this was xmas my little port is a horrow story. GUT CK. JPS13 Aug 02, 12:36

I second this. For the first time in a while, I went to bed and woke up in the red. I could really use a OW tutorial if anybody's offering? {nm} Willroast Aug 02, 13:59

Buy low, sell high, short high, cover low. {nm} DTravel Aug 02, 13:59

Nice.While I love the Cliff's Notes, I think I need a bit more. So far, my only experience in OW is a massive loss in WOLV2. Now I'm scerred {nm} Willroast Aug 02, 14:02

Most people (including me) lost money on that one. Too much group-think by predictors with no one thinking under 60 was even possible. RogerMore Aug 02, 14:24

Thanks for the sage advice RogerMore. I will take it to heart when I get the courage to step back into the OW guantlet! {nm} Willroast Aug 02, 15:11

Also, I forgot to mention in my post below, but your HSX blog has been invaluable to me when it comes to understanding the game. Thank you. {nm} Willroast Aug 02, 15:38

Just guessing that the reference is not to Rick Horrow. ROTO Thoughts inside. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Aug 02, 14:15

Starting out and buying opening soon worked for a while, but my 1mil win is now bleeding fast. ;more {nm} JPS13 Aug 02, 14:59

Great advice Roto. I've employed much of the same strat on my fledgling YTD (lots of my adivice, cont) Willroast Aug 02, 15:09

Several players offer your in depth synopsis (Roto) and Thank You all! Printed for study. Thks JPS13 Aug 02, 15:21
