Ah Julles, nothing special over my shoulder.
But at 3.59 if you were watching i would have scared you the hell out of you as i screamed SH.....T
Had an order in on CFD to sell at market at .51c there were 2.6m wanted, for some reason their market price all of a sudden changed to .50 as i pressed and Guess what i got taken out at .50 Then after market sales at 4.05 were at.52c and now market is closed most of the 2.6 m orders have been pulled.
Might sound like penny pinching but each cent is a house payment, have requested the sell either to be cancelled or to be put through at .51c.
Your Puts might have more chance getting up than me getting my house payment back.
Cheers
Scalper

I have looked into the cfd trading, I know there's money to be made but I thought they could change the orders quickly as it sounds like they have done in your case!
I'd be on the phone screaming at them!!!
Captain I went all out and bought a couple of the Ept this avo, I see the stock's not listed on the main exchange but the 'over the counter'(cto) exchange ... I didn't even know that existed, I hope the Americans doooooo !
Nervous now as the decimal point is closer to the numbers than the cook is used to on 2 stocks that the cook bought today!
Go sick em Scalper and let us know how you go! Julles

Ahoy Julles,
The name of the boat is " LAURUS " a 40' Tradewinds cruiser. I think I have misled a little, forgot this weekend is a long one too. The Bay to Bay is on the following weekend Qld labour day.Probably good thing
that it's a holiday Monday, another day to get over
this week.

Julles,
Looks like i should have played golf today.....
........lets just say my mum taught me "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all",.............. there's always tomorrow to make them pay.
It's time for a beer or Ten...

Ahoy Officer Scalper
When was it you last checked all your time pieces?
Thankyou for pointing out our expensive allocation of funds to brokerage but this is really a little bit of creative accounting
If all gains are planned to be reinvested in new sails then the only way to grab a few dollars for those little luxuries at sea such as
(Rum, Chocolate, Biscuits, Canned Meats, Fruits, Vegies)
Hooks, Lines and Sinkers etc
is to take a royalty or tax on brokerage
A Compounding Growth Strategy is really nice when the seas change to fair
What once seemed a mistake can sometimes be a blessing in disguise! (Rarely but possible)
Provided it was not a TIME decaying Warrant or Option!!
Is the CFD a share or a secret tack?
We all understand that Ego must always be protected at all costs so please ignore that question
Salute and Bon Appetit

Captain
All time pieces work exceptionally well, right down to the decimal points.
However i was at the helm at the time, so take responsibility for hitting the ice berg instead of arriving at the sandy beaches of the Greek islands.
That's the problem when you sail by yourself, you have no one else to take the blame.... not really that kind of bloke anyway.
Don't mind losses or what the markets throw at you, however i do get frustrated when either equipment or myself malfunction.
However over all that now, as my kids have brought me back to what's important, tonight it's "Fairy dancing and singing" so they bring us lollies under our pillows tomorrow, followed by "What's the time mister wolf", all dressed in our dressing gowns going up & down the hall.
It's certainly more fun than trading, do you still remember those days Capt.
Scalper ... having the night off.
Sorry capt...CFD was not a penny dreadful, it was referring to a stock that i bought on margin "Contracts for difference"

Ahoy Braveheart
What a tough day
It's days like this you wish you had a few more thumbs
It's a long time since we went through a whole day without losing a sail to the sea
A couple of our little red triple spinnaker set-ups filled really well
The MDM #1 #2 #3
The ETT #1 #2 #3
The SOU and TMS did OK
EPT was very disappointing
AGT #1 #2 released a report after dusk
Here's hoping?
In all not a bad day for a change and thank God for this weeks end
Ahoy Officer Scalper
Yes, I do remember those days very fondly but I do think life gets a lot better as they grow older and we younger
Directly proportional to the Exponential % Difference in age, naturally
Avagood weekend all

Yes - it was a good day.
At one stage I thought that I needed new glasses - my whole screen went green! Soon I realised that my eyes were OK - some red started to appear again.
Have a great long weekend all,
Starb'd

Ahoy Chief Petty Officer Starboard Tack
No long week end here in Vic for Anzac Day
We take the Long week End for the Queen's Birthday
Go Figure that?
I am sure if young Mark Latham gets across the line we might even see it as a National holiday
It's Time
Gee Whiz ST these triple set-ups need a lot of planning
What was planned as a get of of jail tack to get a couple of mistakes and accidents back on deck now seem to be a masterpiece in seamanship
If all goes well it could look like a brilliant Pyramiding style Tack by simply inter-changing the #1 with #3 on the sail
You should see the power of the numbers in this reverse tack
Truly amazing!
I feel 1st mate Spids might even be suitably impressed with this Triple Reverse/Upside-down Pyramid Tack
Naturally we still have a bit to go before we prove it to him
BUT What if?
