TJ, I am having a jolly time with Livedoor. Unfortunately, while our broker was asleep, the short trading time market for Livedoor was awake and trading Livedoor at supersonic bargain prices. I wanted to take a double tranche at those prices [I forget the details on tranche/wallop etc sizes]. But, of course, bargains don't lie around on the trading floor for long. So the price has zoomed back up to just below my buy price.
Apparently some large scale USA capitalists, Capital Research and Management Company of the Capital Group, with $56bn under management, have spotted Livedoor, figured out that at certain prices it's a bargain and have been swooping. Of course there is some risk, but Livedoor's just-announced, albeit unaudited, [but you don't think they'd fiddle the accounts and join Horie in gaol], hefty increase in profits didn't help my buying programme.
I don't like to just leave purchase orders hanging around in case my offer is snapped up on the announcement of some untoward news, such as a stock market panic while I sleep. But if my broker is going to sleep on the job, I might have to. Cyberspace has got a long way to go. Maybe I just need to hunt around to see how to conduct trades myself in the dead of night, when markets are open but brokers are asleep.
I am not thinking of 1.800.GET.ME.OUT. I am wanting to get in. But not at just any old price. I prefer to rescue people who are seriously worried, not idly selling to amuse themselves or bank some profits.
I'm like a lifeguard at a beach, charging into the surf to save people who are out of their depth and panicking and wanting to get back to shore. Noble, I know, heroic even. It's not just anybody who will race to the beach when a tsunami is striking, taking over from those wanting to escape, swapping my life raft for the struggle in the sea.
You were looking at old quotes. Here is where the action is: kabu.livedoor.com
Yes, I missed the drop down after my first tranche. C'est la vie. There are plenty more fish in the sea.
