Anwar is really going to have to pick it up if he is going to win this thing.
He hasn't even had a top 2 performance since the final 12.

Is there a reason why niko price is so low? I just started with wsex but it seems like there has to be some value in getting him for 2 bucks, or am i just throwing money away?

nikko is only on because some quitter bailed. makes him an underdog.

tonight was his best performance IMO, so i think he is safe tomorrow especially since he was not bottom 3 last week.

i have a couple dozen of him. if you get some, and then he kicks ass next week, he may jump to 5 or 6, but then you have to sell. he can't win it.

Granny, if the final 2 happens to be Bo and Anwar, surf and turf on me next time you're in San Diego.

Thx, I thought he kicked ass last week and this week, yet his price is dropping so i was a little confused. I think he has some chance of winning or at least getting to final 3, him being Ozzies son will get him some serious exposure if he continues on, ie ESPN will probably do a piece on him which could lead to votes from non idol watchers.

Where do you get this from?

Did Fantasia suck early?
DId Kelly Suck early?
Did Reuben or Clay suck early?


Name me one singer who has saved the best performance for last in these, and hasn't performed well the whole way before.

Seriously, Granny, take yer meds.

Default Re: How do you sell short?

Basically its the opposite of what you normally do.

Assume you have 0 contracts of Anwar and think hes overpriced.

You hit the "sell" and say how many contracts you want to sell. Lets say 5. Now you will need a balance of $500 to cover that bet in case a miracle happens and he wins. Your positions will now say -5 Anwars.

Now lets say he does really bad next week and drops. You want to make a quick score so you hit "buy" and buy back your 5 anwars to a position of 0. The spread is a bitch so he will need him to drop more than 5 before you can rebuy them for a profit.

or

You can hold the short anwars until he is gone and then the site will pay you the amount your original "sell" was for per contract listed as negative.

Hope that explains it.
