you were in the top 100, eh? well *I* just cracked the top 100 PERCENT! yeehaaaw!
guess that VTSS trade the other day wasn't that good afterall.
of course today it pops AFTER my halt/bendover/gapdown shafting yesterday.
Man, VTSS is a blast from the past for me...
I bought that in 1997, rode it all the way up, and rode it all the way down. What fun.
SB Fantasy screwed me, though...I put in a trade and they dropped it..I watched my pick go up 12% the day I was SUPPOSED to own it...Then I put in a sale which they also dropped and I watched it sink 5% the day AFTER it was supposed to be sold...
So, rather than being up 12%, I'm now down 5...
They should have put a few more dollars into building an actually functional system rather than humiliate themsleves with this peice of garbage...

Just jumping in to the conversation, saying hi. Just wondering wether or not anyone else experienced a problem with executing a trade last night? I had my sell orders for the stocks below but they did not execute even after being in the pending sales column. I've already notified sb and apparently they are looking into it. (so far I'm down 50-60k or so today because of it) Anybody else see anything out of the ordinary? Thanks...doc

Yeah, it's the same as what I was talking about...dropped trades...
It's just a garbage system that they instituted, as I said, I lost out on about 120K or so because they dropped a trade of mine. I put it in before 3PM, but it didn't execute until after the bell teh next day when it was up 12%
Let me know if they credit your account, maybe I'll try the same...

Not Really...
He's down by what, 100K? In the beginning, the top 50 were up $500K in a matter of days...
One good penny pick on a down day of the market and he's way up in the lead again.

As of last nights close I was at $1,096.390.59. This put me in the top 7%. The day before I was at around $1,070,000.00 - top 10%. Doesn't sound as though too many people are doing real well. Anyone else have equity and position nos.? Maybe we can figure out about how many people are participating. Anyone in the top 50 would really help.
