Yep, he should probably just put that in savings so he has something left when he loses his shirt shorting ODU.

Claude,
You start with 100, then you got 750 by shorting 100 shares of ODU so you've got 850 to spend.

I think TechRocks in post #119 also left 100 points on the table.

Looks like it.

I shorted 10 shares of Marshall - that's 10 X 8.5 or 85

That starts me at 185, no?

Bought 20 shares of MTSU at 6.00 each or 120

Bought 10 shares of USM at 6.5 each or 65

185 - 120 - 65 is ZERO, no?

BTW, I would hope that banker, while he's compiling the data, would check with anyone who left money on the table just in case they made an error and wish to correct it before the contest officially starts.

Yeah that looks right, I think when you started your post "Short 10 Marshall - (+185)" I assumed that all of that was coming from your short sale without checking the original values (or considering Marshall would need to be set at 18.5 games for that math to work out).

Same, looking at it now it's kinda obvious.

I thought banker's request that everyone start with any short sales was spot-on because to sprinkle short sales here or there in the mix would only complicate the calcs.

Everyone starts with 100 shares, plus any shorted stock value and subtracts from there.

That's easy money.

Mutual funds are so yesterday. We need a C-USA ETF.

I don't see me on there, I was post #118

RE: Season "Stock" Contest
Ok, to truly gamble for big win or big loss, here I go:

Short FAU - 25 Shares (+237.50)
Buy UTEP - 28 Shares (-70.00)
Buy Rice - 25 Shares (-75.00)
Buy UTSA - 35 Shares (-192.50)

If my math is correct that should even out.

Thank you. That's why I was asking, the thread kind of died for a while and I missed you.

I've been trying to PM anyone with a math error. Think I have hit them all unless the amount was less than $1 left in the account.

My picks for the record -

Start Balance - 100
SHORT 100 FAU (plus 950)
Amount to spend - 1,050
BUY 60 Charlotte - 150
BUY 60 Marshall - 510
BUY 50 UTEP - 125
BUY 30 Middle - 180
BUY 10 La Tech - 70
BUY 2 ODU - 15

Yeah, I was going to say ETF, but they trade in real time and since we only play once a week I figured a daily close was sufficient.

My Picks:

Start = 100 units

Short ODU 100 shares @ 7.5 o/u = 750 units

Beginning Balance = 850 units

Buy 61 shares FIU @ 5.5 o/u = 335.5 units
Buy 50 shares La Tech @ 7.0 o/u = 350.0 units
Buy 40 shares WKU @ 4.0 o/u = 160.0 units

Total units bought = 845.5

Ending Balance = .5 units

Well if he’s listing 60 shares of Charlotte stock on his balance sheet as an asset you might be right

Short - Marshall 100 shares: 850 + 100 = 950 total
Buy - MTSU 100 shares: -600
Buy - La tech 50 Shares: -350

What's the conversion rate to Chucky Cheese tokens?

Hi. Is it possible for me to change my selections?
The more I read, the less I was into WKU.
The new version would be
SHORT – 100 shares Marshall
BUY – 15 shares UNT
BUY – 101 shares Charlotte
BUY – 30 shares FAU
BUY – 20 shares FIU
BUY – 10 shares WKU
BUY - 50 shares Rice
