@vGInfidel, About Mario Kart April future : I used to be certain of it getting < 1 Million #, so I have shorted them a lot.
However, in the last few days, I started to have second thought, and think : What happen if it proved to be as popular (or more popular) than SSBB ? SSBB managed to get 1.4 Million in one week. What happened if MK Wii managed to do that ?
Therefore, I have reduced my short of this stock, down from almost 4 Million DKP to 1.6 Million DKP. I think it better for me to have reduced potential profit, compared to another mis-predicting that cost me a lot of money.
Well admittedly since i took that massive hit i havent been visiting the site quite as much, it knocked the wind out of my sails a fair bit. So i havent utilised the time bonuses fully, but i havent missed out on too much.
I havent been getting any community bonus either as i have only posted 5 times in the past week and havent submitted an article for nearly 3 weeks.
Ive been relying on my investments to slowly gain me DKP but im following a new policy (for me at least), not to invest too much unless im absolutely certain about it (Mario Kart April future). So unless there is a massive change in price im not getting any big jumps but no massive drops either, im playing it a bit safer for the moment. Im sure ill return to my risky old ways once a few more opportunities come along :).
@vGInfidel, I agree with you regarding 40K and how to regain them vs 4 million and how to regain them.
Are you still utilizing your time bonuses efficiently when you dropped from 50 to 98 and back to current 89 ?
My own ranking was more or less stable, no big (and sudden) 10+ rank drop day to day movement. The biggest one day drop I had is when I was rank 2223 (drop 25 rank), and when I was rank 64 (drop 8 rank).
Currently I have hard time getting into rank 25 :). I had been rank 29 for the last 3 weeks, since there was no big stock that give me big profit.
regaining 40k a day isnt too hard when you can get 24k of that back in time bonuses, all you need is one of your bigger stocks to take a have a slight rise of 1-2% and you have the other 16k. it takes quite alot for zukaus to regain 4million in a day.
as i have risky positions my day to day value often jumps all over the place, especially over the past few weeks with my big short on april mario kart future.
often regaining from a loss next day is just the stock bouncing back after one person has put it up or down a little the previous day. pity that doesnt work when futures pay out.
i peaked at 12.2million and then subsequently dropped to 8.9million over the march futures results period :( ive managed to stabalise this a bit by rearranging stocks and futures (at a large cost) and have now started to climb my way back up with 9.6million now. To emphasise i reached rank 50 all time leaderboard and then dropped to rank 98.
