We're going to have the housing crash soon.

It will suck again.

Thankfully, I don't have to worry. I wish the rest of you well.

I don't worry about where I am really. I live in the clouds. There's no taxes there. Mind you there's no restaurants either, but I'm crazy enough to sacrifice those luxuries.

336... hmm you predicted much much higher

and its not falling very fast if its only been L$6 from the start of the day. i dont think the 2 people at 336 and 335 really care and just wanted to dump their lindens.

anywhoo as the quote goes "dont argue with an idiot in cyberspace, they'll beat you by only being more experienced"

L$336 / US$1.00 1 L$2,908
L$335 / US$1.00 1 L$98,000
L$330 / US$1.00 6 L$433,058

Well, stop selling at 336. There is plenty of space between 330 and 335. This is just too obvious, Jamie...

The original post is based on two false assumptions.

1) Anyone actually cares.

2) Anyone actually has investments that might be affected.

You can't beat cash in a cookie jar under the bed for security.

The cookies that you need to eat to get the empty jar in the first place aren't half bad either.

What a very astute and well thought out investment strategy. :rolleyes:

EDIT: Lewis, your assumptions are incorrect. Some people care. Some people have money invested. Hiding money in your house is not secure.

At least someone has common sense. Jamie claims it was 336 and the only order there was somewhere around 15K, pennies compared to the millions sold each day. Go to 330 where a real order is. That is the current best sell price.

Thats what Jamie said last Tuesday when it was 336/1. It strengthened in the range of 320 to 325 the next couple days after and those who took her advice lost money.

Earlier today someone messed up placing a buy order, ad accidentally placed $80,000L at $345 in te sell order. At least I THINK they messed up and did that by accident. Over $10US loss on that one...
