c7fx Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) It probably didn't. But these moves in the market are a great way to earn some money in a short time. Edited March 4, 2014 by c7fx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) nice jump yesterday. How did you come across PLUG?Thanks. Reading and reading and reading and reading and reading.....Don't remember how I found them but they just got a contract with Wal-mart so I figured it's a go.Next time we play this game the rules should change to allow penny stocks. I'm rocking one in real life. If it hits a dollar I'm buying a new recon. Edited March 7, 2014 by Gump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's around $220 and seems to still be climbing. I don't invest in any stock directly, just through mutual funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) yeah I wouldn't touch plug nowYou could short it....I shorted it on another game after I sold it and am loosing my ass currently. It's got to drop but I doubt to where I shorted it. once someone pays attention to something other than hype. Although, fuel cells for fork lifts and their zero charge time are a huge positive for whse's in many ways.

magley64 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I understand buy and short... buy when you think it will go up, short when you think it will go down... Options have me confused...what the hell is a "put" and a "call"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c7fx Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I understand buy and short... buy when you think it will go up, short when you think it will go down... Options have me confused...what the hell is a "put" and a "call"?Call is the option to buy a stock at a certain price. (strike price) Usually thinking its going to go up and your buying it at that strike price before the expiration date. If the stock never rises your still forced to buy at that strike price. put option gives you the right to sell a stock that sold you the put option at a specific price. Here your hoping the stock is going down and you get to sell it for a higher price. I'm not an options guy I rather buy long and wait. I rarely short a stock. I figure that if I'm going to get into the market invest in good companies not looking to hit one out of the park just grind a profit.

Gump Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) It can be confusing until you do for the first time. The game is the perfect place to try it. The terms still confuse me but it's really really simple. I'm not sure about the time frame though. Meaning, how long do you get to wait until the stock goes down or is there a timeframe in which you must cover? Eternity ?Ya, I don't like high risk. But for a game that lasts only months with play money why not. I do have a penny stock in real life I've held for year that might just buy me a new Honda Rincon in a few months. If it goes to $1 from $0.03 with 28000 shares.PLUG finally plummets... Edited March 11, 2014 by Gump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c7fx Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think diversification was the key to this game. Slow out of the blocks with CLF being the stock that killed me but still finished with a 35% return on my fake money. Now who wants to loan me 100k Ha!!!

Gump Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) That PLUG helped me out. I set it to buy short the same stock after I sold it but it didn't go thru for some reason.27% return isn't too bad.
