......I moved up to 12th...watch out, Nigma.
 
Holy heck! Wtachmen is up 104% since I bought it.

If only I hadn't sold off more than half my shares a few weeks ago.

On the other hand, I did buy more 300 with that money. . .

This game is complicated.
 
Im wondering when I should jump off the Watchmen ship... It seems to be climbing and climbing, but all of a sudden one day I know i'm going to come back and it will have dropped a good $50 a share and I'll be ****ed like an unconscious sorority girl at a frat party.

I intend to keep it until it goes up to 100, regardless of how it may fall beforehand.

And I will also be attending a frat party as soon as possible.

That's the best scene Kristen Bell ever did in the first season of Veronica Mars.
 
****ing hell.

Does anybody know to what extent trading affects the share value of a stock?

I'm beginning to suspect that traders dumping all their holdings are devaluing stocks.

For example, my holdings in Gerard Butler just took a dive of 1.5 dollars per share. William Macy is doing the same thing, but on a smaller scale.

Also, my wussy footing caused me to dump 300 yesterday, after it started diving, but now it's back up to 194$ per share. And now I'm kicking myself, because as I've said before, I suspect it'll cross the $200 share value. All I should have just done was hold out until Saturday when the commission-free zone begins and I would have held better gains.

So yeah, I suspect these inexplicable fluctuations in price have something to do with massive amounts of people dumping their stock to make a quick profit from last weekend, resulting in devalued stock.

Anyone can tell me if there's any truth to my theory?
 
Huh. I never even thought of that. It doesn't seem like there's a limit to the amount of stock pepople could buy, but I guess trading could have something to do with it. A lot of the movement certainly doesn't make sense otherwise.

Well, if this HSX is meant to be as realistic in its economic physics as the REAL stock market, there might be some truth to it.

I think the only other possible explanation for 300's 13.5 dollar devaluation yesterday is if there's evidence that day's box office receipts fell off significantly, which I highly doubt. I now regret dumping my stock, because I'm fairly sure this movie will hit 200+.
 
Well, even if it does go up again, I'm glad I dumped it when I did, since it made me a ton of money and I can buy other things with even bigger gains than 300 will have from now in. Even if it reaches 200, that's still only about 5 bucks gain.

And I had like 11,000 shares of it, so I don't want to jinx everything by trying to squeeze too much out of it because it'll kill me if it does goes down a lot when I'm not around a computer for a day or two.

That is true.

But the point I'm making is that even if it had a piddling gain of $5/share by Saturday, we could all have sold it without taking the commission hit.

Though, I still think it could exceed 200. Maybe even 250, but that's in an extreme scenario.
 
Well, in my case it truly is all about the Benjamins.

Guys named Ben are doing well-the only one who has suffered too much at all is Ben Stiller, and he is still at the same level I paid for him.

Go Ben!

Ben Stiller is an underachiever. This is why he'll be off the cool radar in ten years. Maybe less.

On a semi-related/un-related note, remember when Winona Ryder was a bigger star than he was? But today... Pfffffft.
