Today some how i went from having a $200,000 portfolio to having a - $100,000 portfolio.

I bought a couple low dollar stocks and shorted a few thousand dollars. All of a sudden i went from ranked #22 to #4206. According to the game i actually made money today since i had more up's then down's.

Spending the night at the Salvation Army again?

Stay away from Las Vegas

 Well, all I can say is that you know what NOT to do next time.  Try a different strategy.  Just be sure to read that news/ business section, an/or that paper.  It may help you prepare, or give you a better idea as to what may happen to prevent such a problem.
