What can you do with 10K in 3 months?

Methinks there is a cheater. If you have a live stock ticker, you could easily scam this game. Does it delay the orders so that this cannot happen?

Check a few posts back, Sherlock. I've already addressed it and he's already admitted it.

Nope, I was going back from 4th to 5th the first few days, then fell to 29/30th. Now I am bouncing around from 9-11th.

Sold my silver (not in real life) and went to a US dollar derivative ETF. Lets see what happens

[Captain Crawfish]

back in the game! i was in last place and down 50% at one time. patience is paying off!

[talisman]

All the way up into 4th(3rd! Lol)! I'm pretty happy. Not because I'm doing so well at the game, but because it reflects my actual investments and my 401k has jumped several thousand dollars in the last week. Keep on truckin'!

What's the difference between stop and limit orders? I thought I understood that a limit is to be sold at that exact price only (and with a normal brokerage the commission is higher for that convenience) and that a stop order triggered buying or selling a stock once the target was reached (with a normal commission), but the actual executed price may be more or less depending on how big of a swing the stock experienced.

I tried a few this morning and the limits seem to be working as expected, but the one stop order I placed sold immediately and it was $3 under my target. Was it a glitch in the game or am I misunderstanding the purpose?
