Wrong Warren Buffett. (Warren Buffet probably spends a lot of time at Sizzler) {nm} RogerMore Jul 14, 20:39

ha! {nm} tealfan Jul 14, 22:44

Short story: traders buying or covering a stock pushes the price up, traders selling or shorting drives it down. {nm} RogerMore Jul 14, 20:40

Apologies can i blame the time difference from being Down Under? Family Business Fund Jul 15, 14:31

Funds can't trade during the day? How come? TheEradicator Jul 15, 16:10

One of the rules to allow all players a chance to buy in. Funds can't trade during the first day it IPOs. {nm} Awards Fund Jul 15, 16:16

Movie Stock Rise During Opening Weekend.. MitchC Jul 10, 10:01

Check the movies board to see why people think it's worth it. In this case: Strong Thu night #'s. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Jul 10, 10:56

its against the game rules to talk about stock movement {nm} Moviesnob Jul 10, 10:57

1st Rule of Fight Club: Don't talk about stock movements. {nm} DTravel Jul 10, 12:39

Sorry MitchC Jul 10, 12:41

It looks like you want concrete answers when all anyone has are guesses (inside) JDolphin Jul 10, 15:27

you can ask the same questions without referring to stock movements {nm} Moviesnob Jul 10, 19:42

Why would you "sell" a stock prior to the numbers coming out on Saturday, if it continues to go up prior to opening? Flash Jul 10, 15:53

Thanks MitchC Jul 10, 16:16

Don't forget you also pay commissions every time if you buy/sell, buy it back, sell it, etc... {nm} Flash Jul 11, 08:23

Come in YTD2014 your time is up. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Jul 10, 02:54

but Roto has a 3.5bill 2014YTD port... none of the other YTD ports from 2014 are even close to catching up to him! {nm} RazorHawk Jul 10, 07:31

bigger milestone is that you are still playing last year's YTD port {nm} RazorHawk Jul 10, 07:21

and posting your made up milestone using your 2013 YTD port {nm} RazorHawk Jul 10, 07:23

Good job there is no intention of including the 2012 port which i have just passed in the $1,4 billion {nm} blaze223 Jul 10, 12:24

Help me learn to short sell... uthguy9 Jul 08, 21:40

Not sure if this is what you mean: to get rid of something you have shorted you need to COVER slappydavid Jul 09, 05:16

You can short a stock or security if you think the price will DROP... if the price goes up, you lose $$.... Flash Jul 09, 09:06

Buying Call and Put stocks platonm Jul 08, 10:30

Its not the same as buying a Call. if you short a Put the max you can make is the price when you short it (the put delists at zero). jwammo Jul 08, 10:39

message inside is backwards. 40 strike and its a 30 OW you would lose 40-30 = 10. Max loss is the Strike price. {nm} jwammo Jul 08, 10:47
