March 2007 Trading Simulator contest - First Prize $100.00

[Thierry Martin]

I have set up another trading simulator for March - 1st prize is $100, 2nd and 3rd prizes are trading books.

Once you join, you won't have to rejoin every month like before, I'll just reset the contest at the end of every month back to the $100,000 for everyone.

If you already played in previous competitions, you already have an account and your can join the February contest with the same username and password by going here. If you have forgotton the game password, which you need to join the February contest, just email me and I will send it to you.

If you are new to the simulator, you can join at anytime up. This thread will be used to discuss the game and post updates on the standings.

You start with $100,000 and you can trade stocks long or short. Whoever has the highest amount at the close of trading on March 30, 2007 wins.

The trading simulator/contest is open only to registered members of this forum. (Registering is free!)

Send me a private message and I will send you the link and password for your free sign up.

Albert,

how did you know to buy LMRA on Friday??

you could have given me a heads-up for my real money accnt, come on man!

well done

I have been following LMRA ever since its spike in November; lost quite a bit of money on it trading it hoping for its many expected PRs and contracts...it has disappointed me and everyone in the past; this one will be HUGE when it finally releases it tech, imo.

I bought it on Friday for a quick bounce seeing how it was oversold and took a typical end of the trading week beating; I couldn't resist getting some shares at a cheap price. I was able to get 3000 shares at 3.70 and got out 4.90 =]

I really wanted to get LMRA for the CNBC challenge but LMRA's market cap was only at 50mil or something, I forget so I wasn't able to trade it =[; would have moved me up big...oh well.

But thanks! Hope I don't screw up now..

[Albert0373]

Hmm, oh man; you're about to just demolish my short-term lead if NEW resumes trading....

[Albert0373]

Well....there you go, I guess the 50% drop in price on NEW finally showed up the sim.
Good game bahroor...it's over, haha.

I hope you screw up badly.... ....

Albert, we need to talk.

Albert, we need to talk.

I guess karma got to me...evil thought gives me bad luck...
Hahahah...sigh...near the top...alllll the way down! sigh..
I'm sure it will drop again though; most likely just a short squeeze.

[Albert0373]

I'm getting slaughtered by the minute....LEND is on fire!

I think I just set a new record for the lowest portfolio value ever on this forums' history...
-149k....hahah!
