Shoot. Missed my chance to get in today. The stock I wanted to buy shot up too quickly and now at 4%.

So when we buy, we must deduct 0.4% from the amount available.
What bothers me is at what price will we get the stock at? The previous day's close or what it shows here at the time?

Off topic / Re: The ANC before the collapse of Communism. It's a must read !
« on: December 23, 2013, 07:32:15 pm »
Your quote is the crux of this article. Even after Machel recognized his error and warned Mugabe against it years ago, the destructive itch eventually got to him.
We have been lucky so far but how long will it be before the ANC develops this same itch. Perhaps JuJu will do it for us.
After 20 years, the economy is still controlled by whites in SA. We still have "White Suburbs" and "Black Squatter Camps". Nothing is changing and I don't see it changing in the next 20 years. I think the ANC realizes this and will eventually have to force a change to get the demographics into equilibrium.
Scary stuff.

Having checked the top guys holdings, I am pleasantly surprised that most 1c holders have disappeared thanks to the 2c retreating back to 1c on the last day. Pure fluke.
In my personal view, I would regard the following as the top 10 winners.
1) Griffin
2) AMT
3) DGrobbs
4) Frikkie
5) Jaymeb. He has ducked after his very first purchase. Strange how he got here with cash.
6) SJ
7) Vlad
eight) Dex
9) Sparkz
10) SuperVan
As I stated. This is my view only. You be the judge. Sorry Dex, but eight with a bracket shows up as a smoking face.

I personally don't have a prob with Griffin's stocks as they could have gone down. I do have a problem with the 1c stocks that could only go up and a small chance of getting suspended.
Well done Griffin.
The Topi and Indi are benchmarks.

« on: December 20, 2013, 04:44:33 pm »Six of the top 10 are penny share holders of which 5 are 1c that doubled to 2c. This already tells you that 1c stock holders will always be in the top 10. If this is allowed then most participants will in future buy 1c stocks and make a mockery of the competition and the genuine investors will not bother to partake.By the same token those who have bought penny stocks to win the competition may well also not participate next year because of the rules, so it makes sense to split the competition in two - the serious investors are happy and the gamblers are happy
Good, because the Penny guys are few. I went according to the introduction page and invested accordingly. I would not think of gambling public money. Even less, my family and friends money. Some people did not bother to read it.

Sold some CML shares so that I could add to MTA but it she just kept climbing. Stocks normally go up this time of the year so it might just be the last time we see this price.
Will do some tech analysis after close and see if I can predict something.

This one is even worse. Quite a few guys had this and they are winning. Look at the number of bidders. Almost Nix, Nada, Fokol.

Was it me or Coronation or perhaps Investec that caused this sudden surge? 
Reminds me about one guy on the other forum saying I was promoting CML to the extent that it rose from R12 to where it is now. :laugh:
1724
As CML is by far the biggest stock holding in my portfolio, I have to watch it carefully. She hates to leave a vacuum behind in the form of a Gap. Yesterday she closed at 8120 and today she opened lower and only had a high of 8036. This means that 84c is missing on the upside so she needs to get back to at least 8120 to close this gap.
Fed news allowing, she should do so by Friday. The volume is a bit low so hopefully it will still work.

It is not only SaiyanZ. Of the top 10 there are 6 investors that would not be there. Five with 1c stocks and one with a 12c stock that all doubled.
Had that money been "real money", I can assure you that they would not have bought them. Or in reality it could not have been possible to purchase them due to lack of sellers at those volumes.
This is all you can possibly learn if you are trying to learn anything about gambling your clients money as a Fund Manager.
