I am getting an overflow error... as of 11am this morning. Anyone have that problem? I need to close out my last position in the olympiad, so I am pretty worried. Thanks

no way, too busy winning this thing.

how can i buy futures with ameritrade? i don't understand,... yewa, if you saw how oil fell, i see with futs ok, so i really need to get into options and futures... i dont know if i can buy them with ameritrade. time to intern at goldman sachs!

i seriously think that must be a mistake... unless you buy a crapload of puts or calls and cash out, but #1 came out of nowhere, so max would be $100,000 to spend... hhm...

good to know princeton is #3...

game over. im gonna try to top $400k, but that is not going long on stock. wtf. in any case, maybe options gave him a ton of cash?

so you entered a competition about the market and you've never really followed it... that's what happens.

i'll ask that too I'm from Princeton and I know for a fact that carries A LOT of weight because of how sought after we are in the banking industry

i think you're right. i plan to maintain my place... they didn't show top 15, but i was right below #10

well, i blew through $1, after making $3k in a day... so, i am kinda pissed. a really dumb trade was made and im not sure why. oh well.

Well, that is total. yea, $10k would be nice. i am not super conservative, but i am conservative. i also plan to go to a hedge fund once i graduate and i want to use this $100k as a practice ground for when i am playing it for real. in the real world, you wouldn't go on margin and place...

well, i think the poster was pure BS. I look at it like this... it's a forum... if you brag about huge numbers, like I own this mansion or this car, then it's pointless and probably not true. i am up ~$1250.

it's a crapchute... #1 right now could be #50 in 7 weeks. it's all about luck.

I knew it was BS... ;) Anyway, good to see the standings... come on my $50K!!! i hope to be #1 next week. you know, buying a gallardo at 18 would be so tight...

well, watching numbers isn't exactly fun.:p

yep. i plan to get very risky and start buying shares in blocks of 5000 to win this thing.

Ah ok... in my plan that I wrote, I excluded forex so it's not an option.

Are you even buying stock?

I think it's BS... we'll see.:cool:

well, you have to be a college student, but from the sounds of it, you are an experienced trader? the market this week really sucked... JCP was a good call as was XMSR... we'll see. i wish we could manually input trades, because the code execution is a little slow... but, whatever. it's all good.
