Surprisingly, had a net gain for the day in the Worth Online game and enough to move me up one spot to # 33
Still hanging on to # 1 in Pennsylvania
Someday I'll have to read up on options. That's what the leaders are working with and probably will prevent me from taking the $50,000 grand prize.
Still can't believe I'm being beaten by "festering pus"
DIGL could go to 50 before it comes back down. I'll wait for the ride back.

Hi Scott,

FWIW...The local news said that there was a recent poll saying that CA residents are more afraid of rate increases, than rolling blackouts. Some think that this is a ploy to have the state bail them out. (edit...but on the other side the main gas pipeline is shut off, thus if these blackouts keep going for a while then, they're going to be problems.)

The state approved the use of $400 million reserve fund...
latimes.com

In your contest (nice trading), try trading a couple strikes in the money call or put option instead of the stock (eg. yesterday I bought a couple MUFEB40 calls for 4 1/16 (bought @ the ask when MU was@ $40)...today with the current price $46 I could sell them @ the bid for $7 1/2). The spread is a killer but the increased leverage pays off in a trending market...but if your wrong it is very painful.

BWDIK?

Best of Luck,

WHG?
