Best "Bidding" Practices?

[AmericanGreed]

Let's say you have $1,500 to play with in an exchange...right now, waiting for tonight's event.

How would you split your bids?

[Stunna]

For me all bids are off until Mtgox opens, gonna wait and see how that impacts prices.

I'm in the same boat, I dont know what to do.. I dont want to lose money, but on the other hand I just want security

If you want security don't play the game. If you want in on bitcoin, buy as much as you feel you can afford to lose. Then turn off the computer and go to bed. Don't watch charts, or speculation. Go live life.

This.
 
If you're in for a quick buck, you may lose the farm.  If you're in long-term, then don't worry about the current buy price right now, because it will go up far above where it is now.
