    Without shorts or ETFs, is there a good way to short the market in this game?

    ***END OF FILE*** Net Profit 600+, not much for those big swing days on 5000 blocks.

    Watching this missed FMT in CNBC, I can not help to scalp in my real account. By the way, I have no idea FMT vs NEW, but I am pretty sure most of the contestens don't know where to look for the next big swing. FMT and NEW are too risky to trade.

    It is more as 100000 contestants and rule limit tactic

    Your bet would win most risky contestant or most reasonable ?
    (basket trading, long term 3-5 position advancement &)

    From author experience(this have statistical limitation)
    author bet ,that would win most risky .

    Play the news today and you might likely be selling newspapers tomorrow. Slow and steady wins the race in the long run.

    Good Luck

    Most players don't gain much today!


    NEW 4.06 -1.1-21.32%CMGI 1.6 0.010.63%SIRI 3.48 0.072.05%FMT 8.36 -0.17-1.99%REV 1.15 -0.05-4.17%CNXT 1.79 -0.09-4.79%CVTX 9.45 0.050.53%CHTR 2.88 0.041.41%LVLT 6.24 0.020.32%KRY 2.8 -0.04-1.41%

    I think the top players holding NEW and FMT took a beating today, and since most bought NEW and they already hehind me yesterday. Only FMT holders are ahead me now. 443 of them!!!

    For some reason, I feel, I will not win any weekly prizes, but I will be in the final top 10. I have been trading big swings for the past year on events. Although I lose money in those trades, I learned a lot.
