It was showing Bullish Bear as the leader for me, but not anymore.

@MP - My real life strategy is paying off my bond. This is just for fun! (And educational)

Would it be possible to add the current values and growth % to the previous years results/holdings? Would be nice to see how many of those "investments" pan out over a longer period.

Any chance you could add a column to the 2013 results to show the current growth figures? Would be interesting to see how the "investments" we made last year are doing...

Some days this game makes me think I actually know what I'm doing. And then I slap myself awake.

I'm actually impressed at how many of the participants are beating inflation. and how few are seeing capital losses... (Not that beating inflation is unexpected).

So at my current savings rate of 20% of my nett salary, I should be able to retire in comfort by the time I hit 74...

(For the purposes of this post I'm ignoring the fact that I also pay 16.5% of my gross into a company mandated pension fund, so hopefully I'll be able to retire a bit earlier :P)

Would it be possible to limit shares purchased to be above a certain value? Given that this is an "investor" challenge the current winning strategy of buying penny stocks (literally - the leader has only bought shares that cost 1c) is highly unrealistic. Buying shares that you'd be hard pressed to sell and are probably in real danger of being delisted/liquidated is harldy a sane real world investing strategy.
