Playing & Trading Strategy

Rather than trying to figure out a "system" why not play the game and just enjoy it?

Posted by: Flash on Sep 09, 07:56 in response to NeilSite's post StudioFunds...already down in just 1 day! (Here we go again)

Remember...it's only play money.  Yes, it's nice to log in and see your port is up a lot, and for the past several days I've logged in to find my port in red...lots of red.

I have a lot of stocks short, BUT I don't short everything - that's silly.  Yes, there are many stocks that go down, some "trickle" down - a few cents here, a few cents there EVERY day...so I try to short those if I see it happening.

You are only playing against yourself, only you know how much time you can be here.  Everyone is different, has their own trading style, time they can play, etc... so why not just play the way you want, and leave the systems to those who play that way?

Stocks that are opening soon have a lot of movement up or down, so watch those.  IPO's many times will go up initially, and then start to drop - not all of them do, but many do.

I lose $1-$2M some days, but I don't let it get me - it's play money, enjoy the game and don't worry about what someone else is doing or how much they are making compared to you.  WinkWink

I appreciate your input, but I believe there's some things you should know... NeilSite Sep 10, 06:25

Well, you can look at HSX two ways... Flash Sep 10, 08:32

Thanks, Flash! (Others should take notes on how well you respond to others...You're an inspiration to us all!) NeilSite Sep 10, 10:52

You need to learn how to play the game... RazorHawk Sep 09, 10:29

RazorHawk, honestly, I actually do want to be happy, but... NeilSite Sep 10, 06:01

I want to help you... RazorHawk Sep 10, 09:40

I no longer want to help you. Please ignore my previous posting. {nm} RazorHawk Sep 10, 13:39

A $9,000 loss is trivial and it is well known that funds usually dip slightly on their first days because of commissions. DTravel Sep 09, 10:30

Thanks for the feedback but hold on just a moment... NeilSite Sep 10, 05:46

WRONG!!!!! RazorHawk Sep 10, 09:22

RazorHawk, I am not "WRONG": Posted (inside) is the exact words I replied when you responded "WRONG!!!!!!" NeilSite Sep 10, 11:03

Ok... I am finished with you... bye. {nm} RazorHawk Sep 10, 11:51

He's right though. You are completely and utterly wrong about how funds work. parthm_ Sep 10, 12:02

Wow...You can dish it--but you sure can't take it! NeilSite Sep 10, 16:26

Please just answer this question for me parthm_ Sep 10, 16:38

Actually, I have... NeilSite Sep 10, 17:01

Actually, I myself was one of the people who answered your question earlier parthm_ Sep 10, 17:15

All right, Case in point: I concede the point you made! (aka You're right) {nm} NeilSite Sep 10, 18:16

Aaaaaand the apology proves to be worthless! *Shocking* learn the game. PARAXFund (NOLEAFCLOVR) Sep 10, 01:04

Aaaaaand again...Cruelty before considerations: Before this year, I never had these funds lose money NeilSite Sep 10, 05:25

This is a terrible comparison {nm} parthm_ Sep 10, 12:04

You are comparing a year's worth of growth to one day's worth of hits from commission parthm_ Sep 10, 12:05

I don't understand how you don't understand. Wellespring Sep 10, 05:10

Actually, yes...and connections to REAL LIFE have been a major point of mine as of late! NeilSite Sep 10, 05:42

Oh brother. It's time to hang it up my man... Wellespring Sep 10, 06:20

Here's a list of 142 Starbonds that have adjusted down more than H$10 since Jan 2014 - so yes were "magically lucky" JDolphin Sep 10, 16:17

There were also another 1538 bonds that dropped less that H$10. So of the 3930 bonds I tracked 42% were short. {nm} JDolphin Sep 10, 16:28

Yes I like messing with Excel spreadsheets. That's fun for me. {nm} JDolphin Sep 10, 16:28

Thanks...but you obviously have WAY too much free time on your hands! {nm} NeilSite Sep 10, 17:08

So you completely missed the post where this is fun for me. So what do you do for fun - because this game is obviously not it for you. {nm} JDolphin Sep 10, 17:36

Funds are NOT a quick and clear way of making $H The_1250_Man Sep 11, 15:21
