Uk, I was doing really well last week, but some things came up and I got hammered this week. I knew one of my major positions was going to post bad Q2's, and I debated whether to sell out before the earnings report. It was up over 45% in the last 2wks. I decided to hold on to it and not trade myself out of my position, and it did get creamed.
There are somethings going on in the company, not sure if news was going to get posted up here soon, or at all before the game runs out. We shall see.

Worse yet, is I get kinda frustrated w/ the interface and timing delays sometimes. As in the stock above, I did put a limit order in about 10min before the open to buy more shares when it was due to tumble on the open, but the order didn't get filled (stock bottomed out $0.14 lower than the limit in the first 10 mins from the open, then was back up 25% an hr afterwards... dammit.)
There have been a few times where I put in a buy or sell for so much, hit OK, then get an error (too many shares, not enough cash or above daily colume limits) I hit back and change the info, but sometimes it switches the buy/sell/short or Day order/GTC back to its default, I'm in a rush and end up doing the opposite of what I meant to do.. >_<
I've been pretty busy lately and haven't been able to spend as much time as I need to and try to rush things through

I've been playing pretty aggressive w/ things as I just started and am trying to make up for time. Plus I've been using it to experiment w/ different things and some have been more successful than others. It's play money and I don't really care. Not how I trade my actual money. I don't think I could handle the daily stress if was real money going so far up and down like that... I've swung from 13th to 7th place to 15th and back up inside a week lol.

We'll see where it goes. I'd def be up for starting a new game after this one finishes. Its been a hell of a year to play it in.
