I don't have it installed to test it... does HSX work better with Chrome? I'm having weird load times after making a trade. -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 26, 09:04 5
- works well on chrome, shite on opera (dunno about firefox or IE) -- nm - Random Enigma Oct 26, 09:05 3
  - loading portfolio and trading are crap on Firefox. Browser gets busted and entire innernets tends to freeze. -- nm - Diva Oct 26, 09:10 2
    - I'm not having any problems with FF3, I do have Ad Block Plus on though -- nm - Scorpion Oct 26, 10:00
    - HSX is not a big truck! -- nm - Ted Stevens Oct 26, 09:38

  - Schools were in session Friday, so I thought it was possible. -- nm - David Oct 26, 09:10 1
    - Same here... 3.0X seemed reasonable... I guess all those advance ticket sales were just for Friday. -- nm - secretslacker Oct 26, 09:14
- Dang... went against my gut on HSM3 cause I figured "What the hell do I know about it?". Oh well. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 26, 09:02
Chambers, Cotchery...in or out today? -- nm - Stephen Oct 26, 08:53 3
- Chambers is a game time decision, whatever that means -- nm - CQ Oct 26, 09:08
- and what about Boldin for that matter? -- nm - Stephen Oct 26, 09:02 1
  - Boldin in for 30-35 snaps is what I hear -- nm - CQ Oct 26, 09:08

  - people may be liquidating during commish free. -- nm - Diva Oct 26, 09:36 2
    - I don't think that's why... nothing in my port has moved enough to cause this sort of hit. -- nm - secretslacker Oct 26, 10:07
    - I liquidated my other two ports completely. I'm out of the game, could care less. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 26, 09:45
- Not sure what's going on... doesn't seem to be anything moving enough to call the sort of hit my port has taken. - secretslacker Oct 26, 08:54 4
  - Could they be reversing some schmooze? -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 26, 09:12 3
    - A 'reverse schmooze' will cost you 50-bucks in Cleveland. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 26, 09:28 1
      - Sounds painful too. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 26, 09:33
    - I doubt it... I only have made $230k in schmoozing and that's not much considering how much I post. -- nm - secretslacker Oct 26, 09:14
- I'm edging on just trying to liquidate my entire port and forget about the whole think for a few weeks until they get all sorted. -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 26, 08:50 12
  - Why does anyone need to liquidate? I don't understand the point of that... - secretslacker Oct 26, 08:55 10
    - Because I'd rather just gain interest. -- nm - mara Oct 26, 09:39
    - Well... I have lots of old moviestocks where I'm bleeding since the project has been cancelled... plus starbonds have to be managed every week. -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 26, 09:00 8
      - Starbonds seem harder to manage now...or is it just me? -- nm - Random Enigma Oct 26, 09:01 7
        
        Well, mainly since we don't have any working bond charts... - secretslacker Oct 26, 09:08 1

  - I just ditched all my bonds. stocks seems like a lot of trouble. -- nm - mafic Oct 26, 08:53
I seem to have lost 5M at the drop of a hat... Wish I could actually reach my portfolio and stuff... -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 26, 08:47 1
- I'm down about the same right now. Of the nearly 400 moviestocks I own only 11 are moving up. - krusty Oct 26, 09:16
Steven Jackson inactive -- nm - Stewie Oct 26, 08:43 1
