I don't understand the logic behind why the site would artifically cause a crash. That sounds a bit conspiracy-theorish to me..

Usually, though, conspiracy theories at least explain how something benefits the ones carrying out the conspiracy. I don't understand what benefit the people running the site could possibly be getting from simulating a crash. Maybe more people are just selling for whatever reason and it's not any more complex than that?

If you beleive that this market crash is a technical reality... Muad' Dib Sep 11, 13:27

quick question? how did you calculate 40 day moving avg? Oleg Max Sep 11, 13:33

p.s. my port is only down about 6 mill Oleg Max Sep 11, 13:35

Well first of all... Muad' Dib Sep 11, 14:27

no offense, but I am not the only one doing "that well" Oleg Max Sep 11, 15:42

Day trading advantage has taken its toll IMHO. too much volatility of long term holds has caused me to sell more than 1 stock to avoid drama {nm} Rocket aka PVL Admin Sep 11, 13:47

And I'm still down 4 mil in 2 days. {nm} Rocket aka PVL Admin Sep 11, 13:47

I should also add that there are many sure bets losing money right now. If one's port is large enough, they can easily weather the storm. {nm} Rocket aka PVL Admin Sep 11, 13:53

If I want to play the volatile stocks, I have found 1/2 day trading is really needed. I but them in whatever forlorne Sep 11, 14:51

Because it's a game designed to 'simulate' the stock market Muad' Dib Sep 11, 13:53

Ok then, how many times have you seen this since 1998? Would you write a program for a one time event? So DMac must be causing it then. NOT {nm} Rocket aka PVL Admin Sep 11, 13:56

But the real stock market rises and falls based on whether people are buying or selling things on the market. Ruthian23 Sep 11, 14:08

its also September {nm} Moviesnob Sep 11, 13:55

Was just going to say that there is a sell-off at the end of summer every year.....and every year it's met with wonderment and speculation {nm} Scorpion Sep 11, 14:02

Same timestamp, even. {nm} edzep Sep 11, 14:10

In the real market for every seller there must be a buyer. Not so for HSX. Muad' Dib Sep 11, 14:32

Also there are not a finite # of stocks per security. {nm} forlorne Sep 11, 14:53

People mothball their ports until next summer? Happens every year to varying degrees for as long as I've been here. Scorpion Sep 11, 14:57

Don't we get a downturn at the end of each summer? edzep Sep 11, 14:02

Maybe it's because I am not spread out across a lot but I am up 1 mill today {nm} moovinut Sep 11, 14:54

There have been a lot of high priced IPOs & I imagine a lot of sell off to raise cash to buy into them. {nm} forlorne Sep 11, 14:54

I really honestly feel bad that I'm up a lot over the past few days. I like it when rising tides lift all boats, and I hate being an Paul2k Sep 11, 16:59
