Do I need to wait before selling a stock after buying it to keep the increase in price stable. I have been buying and selling for a few hours now and what I am finding is that after buying a stock the price jumps and I have profit so i sell and when i get to the confirm screen i have lost almost all if not all of the profit. My real concern is that if I cancel the transaction i do not lose my profit so this cannot be casued by others trading on the same stock at the same time. Just really confused as to how I am going to make a profit if when I sell the stock sells below the posted price before i get a chance to confirm.

Does that even make sense? I hope this helps. Mike CSX Game Supervisor

Replying to: mikedrud (Jul 24, 2008 12:24 pm) Right now, I'm waiting for my short holdings to cash out on Aug 31...with $4 million or so on tap, I'll feel alot better about playing the market rather than risking my rather meager cash reserves right now...plus it's hard to play with the Ram, Corrolla, and F150 when there's only 400K on tap...

(or the GM ads) leitchman1 If you buy/short some stock you don't need to sell/cover it all at once. spread it out a little bit. It gives you a chance to see how everyone else reacts to the price fluctuation. It also keeps your profit/loss on your portfolio page, whereas when you zero out a stock that number disappears. p.s. welcome to the game! EDIT: Mike, does the above advice break any of the terms and conditions? I tried to be as generic as possible. If so please delete.
