Why are my limit orders filling before the price I set? FinBuenasNoches May 27, 01:34

example FinBuenasNoches May 27, 01:36

A limit order for less than than current price executes immediately. It's not a stop-loss. I think. Wellespring May 27, 03:04

ok I think I understand now. Thanks {nm} FinBuenasNoches May 27, 03:24

Yeah, people forget the or better part. {nm} ndmaster May 27, 08:01

Agreed! MR. BINNS, "proprieter" of StarBonds Fund (31), "is an exquisitely skilled trader." BUY BONDS! kibitzer May 24, 07:31

Negative. I'm already losing $ on BONDS. I don't recommend. {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas May 27, 06:35

Haha! This takes the cake... {nm} ndmaster May 27, 09:28

Only you... {nm} tatoufan May 27, 17:13

Yep, that's exactly why it's popping... berndog62 May 20, 20:05

Friendly advice, posts like that are seriously frowned upon. Players are not supposed to comment or ask about price movements. DTravel May 20, 20:13

fascinating! BENF05 May 20, 21:26

did something happen to the upcoming Starbond fund? i thought i saw it listed as coming up new next week Sodbuster May 16, 15:49

Its still listed for Tuesday. Same as when i last checked yesterday. Maybe you missed it or it was removed for a short while. {nm} thomasisnewhere May 16, 16:43

yeah see it now .... maybe i just didn't see it .... you start looking at things real fast and it's easy to miss something {nm} Sodbuster May 17, 06:48

Is 3 Million.. A "Big Loss" to a port of a billion plus dollars. MitchC May 14, 10:27

a little less than 0.3%. nothing to sweat about, most of the losses are probably from commissions paid trying to chase volatile stocks. {nm} forlorne May 14, 13:22

Thanks. Some stocks did take big losses. I guess the number just got my attention. {nm} MitchC May 14, 13:39

The funny thing. With my "noticing the loss" I actually went up 13 places in the ranks yesterday, so maybe people took similar losses {nm} MitchC May 15, 03:17

Yeah, that's a good barometer to see how you're doing. If you're down less than those around you, that's good. ndmaster May 15, 11:33

I see your point, nd. I've lost another $500,000 so far today. The port seems very volatile the last 3-4 days {nm} MitchC May 15, 12:34

you can sort columns by gains/losses daily. are you holding some of the soon to be or recently released movies that are likely overpriced? {nm} forlorne May 15, 13:44

The only current movie I have is Avengers. I'm going to wait for that to delist. {nm} MitchC May 15, 15:25

I have never dumped my port even when I have million dollar losses a day. Such thought has gotten me to over a billion. I just keep trying {nm} MitchC May 15, 15:26

So, are you just running a bond portfolio, for all intents and purposes? ndmaster May 15, 21:48

Seriously? Down 0.1% is volatile? {nm} Antibody May 15, 18:23

Come on, don't you know he's related to Madoff... {nm} ndmaster May 15, 21:51

I get the urge to dump my port about once a month, then it comes back. Don't give up. {nm} GruntNoNeck May 15, 14:39

Probably my biggest vice is if I short something that plunges, it goes back up, and then I dump it. I rush in spite of my total . {nm} MitchC May 15, 15:29

Know why you short something, and what to expect. Then, if it goes your way, take profits, don't wait. {nm} ndmaster May 15, 20:05

nd, I short something because it keeps going down. sometimes I sell, and it goes down more, so I rebuy, wait for more drop, then sell again {nm} MitchC May 16, 04:43

Is $600 million the highest blockbuster warrant ever? Would love to see AVNG4 offered for that price! {nm} forlorne May 07, 08:06

Why would it be IPO'd already ARB with ~2 million fee H$. {nm} Antibody May 07, 09:33

*free {nm} Antibody May 07, 09:34

I was joking {nm} forlorne May 07, 10:40

Maybe a $1 Billion dollar warrant.... :-D {nm} DTravel May 07, 12:07

AVNG4...the stock that keeps on giving (if you hold it long). :-) {nm} Flash Apr 29, 18:04

I sold at 691, but I bought in late (as in three weeks ago) and still make over 10 million. I was fine with letting it go. HNIF Apr 29, 21:29

Why would you hold it short? ndmaster Apr 29, 22:40

Some did, if you look at the stats...not sure 'why'...but who knows?? {nm} Flash Apr 30, 13:30

some of negative ports possibly? {nm} NOLEAFCLOVR Apr 30, 15:24

I reached a billion earlier today. HNIF Apr 29, 16:59

I tried just taking a break and couldn't even do that...lol...congrats! {nm} tealfan Apr 29, 17:13

Thanks! I won't have a problem with coming. I just sold all of my shares, except for one share of IT: Chapter 2, that I bought for the lulz. HNIF Apr 29, 21:19

I figure this delay in cashing out OWs is due to the HSX banker still knocking some doors to gather such a pile of cash! XD {nm} fwerner Apr 29, 16:12

It's easier for Dmac to do it than it is for The Fed to in real life. ndmaster Apr 29, 16:25

After today's adjust, the Opening Weekend Fund might hit 100M. It's going to be close... tatoufan Apr 29, 13:43

Keep hitting that classic cash and you can will make it. {nm} AJRimmer Apr 23, 11:30

Probably the majority of his gains are from CC {nm} ndmaster Apr 23, 18:21

Oh for sure trading half-assed would result with faster gains then he has achieved. {nm} AJRimmer Apr 24, 04:32

Exactly I put very little effort into my port and blew by him {nm} hotsambatcho Apr 24, 07:59

good one thanks for the laugh today I needed it. {nm} hotsambatcho Apr 23, 17:08

You may have escaped me for now but I will get you, my pretty, and your little dog Tat too! *cackles* {nm} DTravel Apr 19, 13:38

Lol, it took me a bit of work to get my port to take off again after my break last year. You're still within reach. {nm} tatoufan Apr 23, 08:34
