Steve Re Spy and all Very hard day! Started out at about 120k in the game account .. still holding AMZN puts .. held to long .. by the time I cashed out I was at 97k. At that point I reset the game account to the start of 100k. Went with AMZN calls .. cashed out AMZN calls ~12:15 for 9k gain .. Jumped onto Claude's bronco of choice (INQNF) and held until close .. 10k gain . then seeing the direction you were heading grabbed the AMZN calls again. Was kicking myself all day for not grabbing the 20k profit this AM .. until I looked at what the other players had done over the last few days .. These folks all got killed. Three days ago there were several accounts that were over 500k. The highest one today had ~95k profit. Looks to me like the last couple of days have been designed to whipsaw the daytraders .. very hard day. Ugly weekly candles all over the place. The game account is the ramp up to the start of the Feb game .. this set I can reset up till 2/1. Then there is no resets allowed. 10% of whatever balance is leftover from Jan is added to the Feb starting 100k. Good prizes .. $2500, $1500, $1000, $250 for players 4-10 each month. Gotta get my timing down better. Gersh
