Obama stealing our Halbucks.[DOUBLEPOST=1355292047][/DOUBLEPOST]I think I'll wait until this thing becomes more stable before I start playing. It's annoying watching my investments make gains for 3 days and then watching it wiped out for reasons not tied to the market.
 
Aw yeah my money is baaaaaaaaack. Happy days are here again.[DOUBLEPOST=1355292121][/DOUBLEPOST]Aaaaand it's gone.[DOUBLEPOST=1355292175][/DOUBLEPOST]Seems like if I post, my investments go to zero as my cash-on-hand rises. So that's, uhm, oh yeah, bullshit. The money reappears if I buy stocks.
 
Huh, stock trader says my net worth is zero, when previously I had over 8000 halbucks invested.

This must be what the great crash of '29 felt like.

Your stuff is still there. There's a single German stock gumming up the works that's causing shit to fail. The issue is on Yahoo's side.

But to the person who is carrying the stock "216006", if you sold it off I'd be willing to bet it will work again.
 
Oh man, Just Me, Daimler's going to hurt you.[DOUBLEPOST=1355319329][/DOUBLEPOST]But...but...but! The german samsung is my herooooooooooo!

Ah well. I have to pick some new stocks anyway.
 
We may have to disable the German market for a bit.
I'll get rid of the stuff soon, no problem!

And don't worry stienman, it won't hurt me for long; see above. :)
And if it hurts it gets sold and replaced with some other spur-of-the-moment decision...!

It went from one to another for the errors. So I'm not sure if it's just one or two offending or several.

This time it's A0ERYQ.DE. Whatever that is.

Whatever that is, yes. Nothing more from me. :)

I just got rid of everything .DE, .F, .MU etc., lots of green numbers those had been. Let's hope it goes on a bit better now.

Yeah, apparently the German stock API changed and it's causing issues. The dev is on the case.

Stuff is all messed up. I found the other stock and sold it (sorry, SpecialKO ), but now the system is telling me APPL is bad. APPL? THAT'S APPLE!!! So yeah, something isn't right. I have a note in to the devs and expect to hear back soon. I think we stress tested this thing a bit more than they did. Like they didn't know about the 200 stock limit.

But I paid for this so I'm bugging them until it works.

And in a confusing and frightening turn of events, Frank has the top portfolio this morning, yes, still entirely consisting of THQ.

Ok, I'm convinced. Capitalism is a fraud. :p
 
So far SanDisk Corporati (SNDK) has been a huge lifesaver for me. It is pretty much the only thing really keeping me afloat right now.
 
Yeah, I'm confused. I have no idea what I did, but I will admit when I saw Adam buy up VISN, I used all my remaining money to buy it too and made a healthy $11 000 this morning. So, thanks Adam
 
VISN had their American-to-Chinese stock ratios re-calculated to stay on the NASDAQ because they were dropping below $1. So today, per reported schedule, the ratio went from 1:1 to 1:20.

In the real world, American stockholders had their stocks re-purchased back before the change of ratio. This did not happen in Halworld, though. :p
