I was majorly short on PoP for quite a while. I think I had sold about 30k stock at an average price of 55dkp, then I realised that it wouldn't make the top ten and this could harm me. Luckily by then it had dropped to 38dkp or so, so i managed to get out between 40-45. I now have about 10k stock long on it at about the 45-46dkp price point. So a portfolio reversal of 40k+.
That's why I had been pushing the price up a little over the past couple of weeks, not because I thought it would do those numbers. Gotta play the system right. ;-)
@oznerol, Since it didn't made the list, Prince of Persia should be cashed out at #10 #, which is 497K.
I actually expected higher # for #10, so I invested a small amount of money driving up PoP price at the last day before stock freezing. I still made some profit out of that investment. 46K DKP is worth 2 days Time trust, so I am not complaining.
@vGInfidel, My source once again proved his accuracy. Way better than VGC, the so called "source" :D. I believe that my source's sampling size are way above VGC's sampling size, which should explain nicely why VGC have such a big error in predicting Wii.
That is a really low Wii number. I did not expect anything below 2.5million. I lose about 4million for the day, though from my actual buy price I only lose about 900k so it's not too bad.
