I give up on playing the market.

Sold them all for around 9.5k still a good return on investment but I wake up this morning to see him bumped to 93 and now going for 22k+. I'm just sick to my stomach for pulling the trigger last night. I suck. Rant over.

If it makes you feel any better I just won and then lost 15k playing online blackjack today

So with whatever loop hole someone found and was deemed "cheating" it appears trading online will not be available on the show nation. Think this will bring some market stability and lower prices with the "day traders" gone ?

Market activity has definitely seemed to slow down a little bit. I honestly have no idea how this will affect things, it may make people less patient because they have less time around the game but I also don't think less activity necessarily means lower prices.

when you guys grind innings you actually play the games out instead of boosting with a friend....?

Between Cano, Andrew Miller, Longoria and some others, I'm down over 13,000 stubs. I pretty much suck and buying and selling for a profit. It seems any big buy I do starts going down immediately. I guess all I can do is hope those guys go back up.

In general, players are cheapest on Friday and Saturday, when the new packs come out and all the "investors" desperately try to sell all their players that either did or didn't get upgraded. Then on Thursdays prices are probably highest, as people try and "invest" in people who they think will go up the next day. I'm not a fan of investing at all though, flipping is easier and far lower risk

Sometimes you just got to sell right away and not hold looking for more profit. Take the profit you can get lol. If I buy a Dee Gordon for 8000 and he's selling for 11500 now but he was selling for 12500 yesterday I'm not gonna wait, I'm gonna sell him right there at 11499

Yes, I buy games to play the actual game, not to waste hours bunting back and forth for some ****ty in game reward.
