I placed a limit order for MNCS at $3.78. Very shortly, the price was over $4, but my limit order still hadn't gone through. While waiting to see what was going to happen, I got on Y! answers for an hour and a half. All of the sudden, while I'm reporting a 13 year old girl for saying she's datig a 37 year old man ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsPdGoa9BRxRbtml9.Nbb8rsy6IX?qid=20061014194153AAdewZj ), I get a popup saying I've just NOW bought at $3.78!
Yeah! The price came back down and I bought in on the decline! Lemme check...OH CRAP ITS BACK UP OVER 4$! LOL!

Hey Blue, I don't know about F, according to my accounting school book, they lost about $1 B in 2003 in making cars. They did however make a lot more than that in financing. Don't invest with them if you want to invest in manufacturing, but you might if you want to invest in finance businesses.

If I had to guess. I would guess someone is manipulating the stock. You may possibly wind up regretting your order got executed.

Instead of posing it as a question, why don't you just come out and brag up front about your trade. That's what you're doing.
So, let's see, you're up 22¢+ on your trade; $22+ on a single lot. Hey dude, you can retire now!!!! So, are you like trading 1,000 lots? I mean, if you're only trading a single round lot, $22 is nothing to brag about. If you bought a $3.78 and it's trading at say $10, now that is something I can see someone bragging about.
But, you must forgive me. I trade derivatives and a 5.8% one day gain is low for me. I'm used to seeing 50% to 80% single day gains, so I guess a 5.8% gain in equities is good.

You are not an idiot (as far as I can tell). I think it's a good thing to look at a stock in Canada for mining because many countries are looking for new sources to get their energy and Canada is willing to do business with them.
I'd put it on my watch list but I'm saving my pennies to see if I want to buy F (ford).

Yes, freaking out about a stock rising and falling over the first few is going to give you a heartattack or an ullser, let it ride for a bit.

You're either a genius or an idiot. See if you can guess which one.

We all make mistakes. What we need to do is learn from them.
