The interesting thing is this weekend is PAX, so we could see another road-trip style one next week, which might mean Haturation.

Either way those of us still in the game who had lots of shares in Hats stand to do well again, those of you starting anew can't buy Hats which is going to make next week a difficult starting point. Might be worth waiting a week.

Awww I should have kept some liquid. Oh well, I guess I'm out. Sad, considering my plan for this week was to sell all my shares in HATS and then stop playing. I would rather not have ended on a massive failure :(

I don't know if I'm going to get back in. I think the market needs more volatility, more opportunities for risk and reward. Perhaps some kind of betting system on who will appear in a given Feed Dump, with us competing directly against each other rather than infinitely generating money?

I bought SPEC and shorted a little NADA.

Upon reading that I decided to do the same except I'll invest some of it.

Bought ALL the HATS, shorted ALL the NADA.

If next week doesn't feature more hats I'm going to claim the largest box I can find!

I have a massive Hat investment that is waiting to mature so I shorted a little NADA and brought some SPEC.

You know what, I'm out. This was fun but now I've got 3 bankrupt accounts and 1 more than is below $1000. I think I'll just go back to enjoying the episodes again.

This week Dutch Guy lost an amount equal to 9,851 times the U.S. National Debt.

Neat.

I just shorted NADA. I'm not confident that HATS or NPEW will go up.
