Images To Verify Price Of Trades

Note: When the stock market is busier than usual (such as 9:30 - 10:00 AM & 3:30 - 4:00pm), the bid/ask showing on my real-time quotes is actually delayed by a few minutes. (This is explained in my first few trading posts around the date of March 3, 2011).  If you would like further verification of this, simply contact me and I can create a new image for you that verifies the slight bid/ask time delay!

However, the "last" price showing on my real-time quotes is always current.  Therefore, regardless of any bid/ask time delay, the "last" price imaged below should always match and verify the price that I predicted on Twitter and in the table above.

When the last price is showing to only two decimal places (for example, 1.90), that cannot prove whether the bid is 1.90 or whether the ask is 1.90.  In order to provide proof, I attempt to take images when the “last” price is showing to three or more decimals places.  That way, the bid and ask can be pretty reliably determined:  for example, if the “last” price is showing as 1.907, it’s very likely the bid is 1.90 and the ask is 1.91.

Note: The following Twitter images/predictions can also be verified by visiting my Tweet history on my Twitter profile:

The MGM shorts of 13.21, 13.23, 13.24 were made after the previous DXD buy.  I don't have a photo of the streaming quotes for these trades, but I do have a photo of the day's prices:  (It's clear that the prices were in this range during this time frame, given the prices of the previous and subsequent verified trades)

Note. The above was the price I wanted to cover all outstanding MGM shorts at.  I saved a picture of it then tweeted it to everyone.  However, Twitter errors prevented it from being posted:

By the time Twitter was working, the price had risen to 13.18, so I made the Twitter prediction to cover at 13.18:

However, b/c it's more accurate to say that I advised to cover MGM at 13.15 and not 13.18, I've included 13.15 in the calculations of my trading percentage gain.
