I'll have another one started up with a longer run time once my home computer is fixed up... 4est Posted at 10:48 pm on June 28, 2008 Holy shit, I totally forgot about this. HEY. I didn't bet it all on Rick's Cabaret. First I split it between Rick's Cabaret and the people who make Smirnoff. I guess 22nd is what I get for not checking on this for like a month. I was first for like, may. circa Posted at 2:10 pm on June 24, 2008 it's over and i'm ahead by a couple hundred. lolstocks abiloo Posted at 8:33 am on June 23, 2008 i give up. i was 3rd and now i'm last. i'm not good enough at it.

I lost like, five thousand in thirty seconds because I tried to go for 2000 stocks of a company worth $130 a share. FIVE THOUSAND. I'm rooting for you! As long as 4est doesn't win. I mean, that'd be neat if he won... but he bet it all on rick's cabaret. You know what my motto is? Fuck rick's cabaret. circa Posted at 7:28 am on June 22, 2008 I can't hear you all the way down there in twenty-third, har har. I'm sort of getting lazy, too.

And I was among the first three, but then i lost it all :( . Now i dont wanna play anymore... well, don't gave up yet;) I'm not in the competition, but you can turn around anything;) just don't focus your stocks around 1 stock. Besides, this is not really an investment competition, more like a speculation competition, so a lot of luck is involved, so don't be sad:P Remember to wake up early every morning when the stock market opens to catch the earliest news and stuff. You'll need fast movers, so focus on small-cap. Look for volume changes etc. Other companies in the same industry may serve as a good indicator too:) Always check all your stocks at noon (in fact as often as possible). If a small cap start dropping past 5%, it's likely to drop more, because ppl are dumping, so sell those fast;) JohnTheNormalOne Posted at 2:29 pm on May 31, 2008 Damn, I'm last, I lost everything... And I was among the first three, but then i lost it all :( . Now i dont wanna play anymore... Nielso Posted at 5:29 am on May 31, 2008 just starting, sounds like fun actually.
