Jesus, AONE might hit 27 today.

I'm going to do somehting crazy and short it. I said back in July I wouldn't short again...
Oh well, Fridays are good for doing stupid stuff.

You guys are doing good. I'm taking a pounding, but as soon as I get back into the buying power, I'll start playing safer bets.

IDK about, I'm down 550K in a week. lol.
No biggie as everything goes up and down, just hope not to go down to 15th again before it heads up.

Missed my limit on the A123 short. We'll see what happens on Mon. It was just a dayorder.

So AONE did crash after it hit $27. We'll see where it goes.
The AEZ I mentioned above kept on going. Its over $2.60 now from $1.60. I nearly bought some of this w/ my real money, but after it moved upto $1.90 while I was pondering, I gave up on it (figured it was good to ~$2.) Goddamit, its over +60% in a week.

PNX has been kicking ass too, over $4 from 2.75 low last week (YTD high.) So I got all my cash/buying power back....
BUT....

There is a F'up in one of my stocks. They did a reverse split and the #of shares didn't change. I have like $7.5M now. I figure I should be at $2.2M or so. I can't figure out how to fix it, and I want to do some trading as PNX is up so high, but I don't want to go over when the one stock corrects and screws my actual buying power over. I have $3-4M in buying power lol. I'm trying to estimate my real power while I wait.

When I first saw it I thought something huge happened, but later figured it out and was pretty sad. Thought I'd give Luciano a run... guess not :)

So that's what made your gains so sweet. The way my picks are going, I'll probably be in last place.

Shite, its still messed up. How can I fix it? PNX is now upto ~4.50 and I should have tons of buying power, but the other one is screwing up the real value. Their help section is useless. I should be closing in on 2.5M I think if things were right.

Today might be a good day for you guys. The Futures are looking good and the World's markets are basically all green.

Finnster · 10.14.2009, 03:54 PM

Dow over 10000. W00t.

Cashed some things out today, but overall things look strong. My acct is still overvalued about $5M.
I got a reply back on that email, but they said to email someone else.

I thought it was going down after it hit 10K for like a second or so, but they brought it back. Lets see if it'll take off from here.

Let me know what they say and if they'll fix it. I would've had over $100 million if I had kept my AIG shares before they had the split.

lol, if they can't fix it, does that mean I get to keep it?

I wish

You would think the game would know how to handle the splits. They are not that uncommon, and they seem to have a good number of players, so having to go into every acct everytime there is a split could be a fulltime job.

If they don't, keep on playing and enjoy the bonus.

Nice. I'm still waiting to get some more buying power to play again lol.

I've emailed them 5 times now on the price issue and so far no resolution. I'm thinking its not going to get fixed...

I just now looked at the market for today, and it was ugly there. WTF, big freakout on the Wells downgrade. Not a good sign. Previous worries proved unfounded, but IDK. We've had such a good recovery its had to end/slow before too long. Maybe the jig is finally up.

What I've been hoping to do is make it thru to early Nov when PNX has earnings release and hopefully some news. After that I don't have too many plans other than some conservative oils. I'd like to head to cash for the most part before too long and wait it out a bit. Made a quite a bit of $, and want to keep it and not get greedy chasing the last 10% down a hole. hmm....

They prpbably have no clue how to fix it.

I'll be holding my positions through good or bad news. I really don't know when and if the markets will go downhill, but people will be taking some profits like always and now they're prpbably worried as well from what had happaned. More and more companies are still getting rid of hard working employees, closing plants, closing for good and going BK. We'll see how everything goes.
