#1 of 9 Slow-Mo IPO by networkguy Aug 26, 2008 (8:03 pm)
Todays IPO was pretty different than the norm . The volume was relatively low and the initial buy/short swings were relatively shallow. I'm not sure retiring stocks will have as much of an impact in future months, but it seems there isn't nearly as much loose cash laying around anymore.

Replying to: networkguy (Aug 26, 2008 8:03 pm) This week is the exception, I think, everybody is trying to tie up as many short positions as possible and didn't want to slip from holding high profit shorts to low profit shorts...I through $500K into the IPO and came out with $1M...so I can't complain...

Replying to: thegrocer (Aug 27, 2008 6:42 am) Yeah, I didn't have much cash either, but I hit early (maybe even first) on the MLRT and made quite a bit. It was interesting to see the volume and price swings moving at half or slower than the normal speed.

An hour into the new IPO and I'm personally responsible for about 20% of the shares traded. I didn't have much cash to start with. I wonder how much wealth is currently frozen and what will happen once it isn't.
#5 of 9 Now that's more like it by networkguy Sep 09, 2008 (11:18 am)
Well, todays IPO was a good ol' fashioned multi-million share brawl like the old days. Congrats to shin107 with a really nice gain. Heck, even me and bg96 made it into the top 50 on this one.

Replying to: networkguy (Sep 09, 2008 11:18 am) With so much cash out there and CHEAP issues, I knew it would be a mad house. I got killed, actually. Cheers, Mike Replies to this message: shin107 (Sep 09, 2008 3:18 pm) mikedrud (Sep 09, 2008 3:51 pm)

Replying to: networkguy (Sep 09, 2008 11:18 am) Thanks.. but, I'm thinking about giving up this month since xbox 20gb is twice cheaper than ps3 80gb. lol Mike, can you consider to add more games of xbox for this month prize? To motivate players work hard on csx.

Replying to: mikedrud (Sep 09, 2008 12:41 pm) It was crazy after retired stocks posted. I thought it's an error. and is there any data page that I can see the updated sales amount? like this link.. http://blogs.edmunds.com/csx/2008/09/car-stock-exchange-vehicle-sales-through-au- gust.html Replies to this message: mikedrud (Sep 09, 2008 3:51 pm)

Replying to: shin107 (Sep 09, 2008 3:18 pm) We don't have a separate data page like that blog post, although now it seems like a great idea. We only update that list every month, so I'll create a link to that blog post (and future ones) from our Stocks page here on out.
