I'm with you... I saw your post below (sure you saw mine)...I'm still 'red' every day, and if I'm 'green' it's usually just $200K or so..

Posted by: Flash on Jan 09, 10:24 in response to swordfish1's post Old player needs to know how the other big portolio...

it's very frustrating... the $$ I make on openers & adjusts don't seem to make up for the losses during the week either... can't figure out if it's daytrading or just the cumulative effect of tons of stocks going up or down a penny now... so hard to figure out.

I'm kinda like Mojave Mom though...trying to see if I can ride it out, although I'm dropping in LTD rank every day...and that is frustrating too...cause it tells me other players are moving up...so I am definitley going to review my strategy.. I can make more $$ with just cash sitting in my port than what I'm holding, so I may sell off a lot of stuff... play more bonds again, and think before I just 'buy' and wait for a stock to go up.

I really thought when share numbers were increased that I'd see some big gains, but it's been just the opposite... very confusing to figure out.

I know I'm losing over $2 million a day ($7 million yesterday). Right now I'm trying to ride it out and hope things turn around. {nm} Mojave Jan 09, 08:55

I saw HUGE gains for weeks after the share increase. Now I'm in the same boat you are. Lost over 7 mil in 3-4 days. Rigit Jan 09, 16:36

January is generally a great time on HSX - the openers might not be much, but Christmas movies with great legs, big delists mean cash gets RogerMore Jan 10, 07:27

I can't seem to have a bad day (knock on wood). Well, maybe one or two in a couple of weeks. I'm usually not too active at trading. edzep Jan 09, 21:44

edzep, like lobogotti the other day, it sounds like you are describing my playing style ndmaster Jan 09, 22:12

This is the answer. My portfolio is growing at a rate I have never seen before, and has sustained that growth since the move to 75K limits. RogerMore Jan 10, 07:48
