Ended up selling out of GoPro IRL at 69.97. IMO, really good sell.

I was in 3rd for the game here, tried to short BABA at 97-95. Went to lunch, apparently there was a 15 min delay on the order. So it shorted me at the IPO price... I shorted BABA at 68. And there goes my shot at winning. Fucking game glitched me to failure.

Shoulda held onto GoPro longer, it's at 95.17 right meow. Pretty insane how much it's gone up since its IPO though.

In hindsight, yes. But I took down a big gain. I was half half on what to do with it. I'm not sure I would have held on to it after a few of the big dips here and there. You never know what will happen with a stock, I knew I had a gain so I took it down.

What I should have done was bought back in at 65 when it leveld off after the drop form 70s.

this still going on? anyone wanna start a new if it not?

It's still going on but it ends on October 31st so it's not really worth entering at this point. I'm down to make another one right now, we just have to get some other people in on it. Who else wants to get in on this?
 
Should I make it in Advanced or Normal mode? Advanced gives the ability to make limit orders, stop loss orders, and trade partial shares.

Happened to me during the BABA IPO. I was pissed because I ended up somehow shorting at IPO not at 95 like I wanted to. Lost it all, but then I got it all back. Back to #2 (Which is really #1 because the guy with the AAPL glitch.

Either's fine, Advanced may be more fun though
 
I don't like how people can see my holdings. None of you would have bought DPLO. But its doing well for me so you copy.

I had almost all my stock in apple and didn't make nearly that much

So a stock split is when they reduce the price and increase the shares equally proportionate. That way your holding still has the same value but the price is lower, thus more attractive to a smaller investor who cant afford $300 a share.

To my knowledge, apple split 7:1. When they did, the shares were multiplied by 7 and price reduced by a multiple of 7. On MarketWatch the share ammout was multiplied but the value wasn't reduced. Thus resulting is a huge glitch, 7x the money basically. Most peoples got corrected, one guys didnt.

Make more sense?
 
I'm a little angry it didn't get corrected, I was hoping on playing the whole thing out but now its just unfair for me
 
yeah thanks, I'm not 12 years old I know what a fucking stock split is i was just saying I had almost 100k in apple and have only make 20k total.

Look at the fundamentals...GOpro is insanely over valued. Unless they can turn into a full on media company I don't see the stock going much higher long term, if anything down to a more reasonable price. But that being said...look at how many other companies are way over valued right now. Won't change until FED raises rates to a normalized level that rewards savers/retirees

Fuckin EBOLA. Things are going nuts.

Also, who owns NFLX?? Check on that after market movement, I feel bad for you.
 
26% of its market share in 3 hours...... that's insanity.

This further contributes to my thought that the market is just rigged game.
 
Jesus fucking Christ I'm down $10,000 in real money the past few months. I hope the market bounces soon as I'm going to throw a butt load more money at it tomorrow pending any drastic warning signals.

Talking about NFLX? Their earnings weren't what was expected and HBO announced today they are releasing a stand alone streaming service. So maybe that had something to do with it? Not necessarily rigged.

And if you are going to try and get a bounce back, I'd wait a bit. See how it reacts, you know.

Okay rigged was the wrong word, just doesn't make sense with reality. They beat earnings forecast with .96 per share, above the expected .93, generated 59 million in profit. However, they only added 3.05 million subscribers, well under the 3.69 million expected. With the news of HBO announcing a new service I could see it going down a little, but losing 7 billion in market value over the course of a few hours is a bit ridiculous.

As for the buying in, I'm not ballsy enough.
 
I'm annoyed that I don't have the time to trade these while at work. My phone is so slow and half the time the site doesn't work.

I wish we could trade during after hours. I don't wake up early enough and miss half the trading day.

I'm at work all day watching the markets but can't get on to trade or do anything. Not sure what's worse.
