Sorry for being new, but where do they post how things ended up paying out? i.e. the polar bear and lander stocks. Also, I had 100 for the endangered stock, but i don't see any money in addition....I guess I'm confused.

to pay out long phoenix still needs to transmit data back to earth. it did land safely - just a quarter degree off of level. then the solar panels have to unfold to charge the batteries in order to send data. i don't expect that will be a problem as the landing was about as perfect as could be, but it's not a done deal 'til it transmits back to earth.

they just received images in arizona so it should pay out long.

beachfire where can i see those images?

Phoenix beamed them down to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the University of Arizona. If your security credentials don't allow you to get in there then maybe you could do a cursory search on the net to find them.

phi523,

Welcome to the ppx. As far as where the closing stocks are posted, I don't know simple way of doing it. I using click on Transaction History on the Portfolio page. If it was a recent transaction, you will see the stock with the acti "delist". From there you can tell how much you made. You can also do a stock search for all stocks to see in general how the stock closed.

The site http://ppxchat.com/ has a section where it lists new stocks and recent closings. It is this simpliest place.

So Kohomono, when did this stock close, were you able to buy in after the outcome was known.

Thanks chadster, will do.

I think it halted about 9:33 EDT

So yes, it traded for almost 2 hrs after the landing was confirmed on NASA's web page but halted before the pictures were posted
