Huh, I can't get into it at all. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 15:01
i wish this had happened before Kick Ass opened - the 40 year old virgin Apr 20, 14:55
Awesome! Awesome! - ceregon Apr 20, 14:55 4
- there are gonna be a lot of whales at the start - the 40 year old virgin Apr 20, 14:57 2
  - I made most of my money (only $80real) shorting stuff, but I got killed by shorting two big ones - ceregon Apr 20, 15:05 1
    - Alice was tough to read, but instructional for the future. What would normally have been a post-opening short on HSX might now be a long due to 3D -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 20, 15:07

ST Poll: How long does this exchange last? - Will Hunting Apr 20, 14:47 35
- The way this is designed, you are betting against other players (so to speak), so there really isn't that kind of risk for the exchange operators. - psilotum Apr 20, 15:00 32
  - My assumption is the only money they collect is the IPO and the trading fee - Will Hunting Apr 20, 15:16 31
    - shares don't float. the price only rises when there are an equal number of people selling as buying. - the 40 year old virgin Apr 20, 15:20 29
      - If I buy it at $40; they get $40. If I sell to you at $42, I get $2 profit and if it cashes at $45, you get $3 profit...they pay $45 out of what - Will Hunting Apr 20, 15:22 26

        So before it's offered for sale, it's already been sold? - Will Hunting Apr 20, 15:25 15

        I grow weary of seeing "wary" be constantly spelled wrong. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 15:46 3

        sorry, I was just being a nitpicker dork. (See retraction, below) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 15:52
        
        (actually, I have to retract this; a quick search of the past 2 months doesn't turn up any supporting evidence. Must have been somewhere else.) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 15:50
        
        I'm definitely wary - Reagen Apr 20, 15:45 4

        the potential for whales as pixie mentions really does tempt me though. - Reagen Apr 20, 15:49 2
        
        I'll play ya for it. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 15:53

        No, I'm just wondering who gets the money at IPO when somebody buys. -- nm - mara Apr 20, 15:26 1

      - If there are an equal number of people selling as buying, why does it rise? What would make it fall? -- nm - mara Apr 20, 15:21
