You're right. JSE is down again. I've activated the backups links, it'll catch up in a few minutes.

Check out SJ's holdings, you'll see.

Naughty, naughty.
Well spotted, noddy badge is yours!
Basically a system loophole was used to "sell" shares and "short" shares. It was something I realised was possible and blocked, never knew anyone noticed and used the loophole though

I've added the transaction history to all holdings pages. Noticed one very sneaky user, but I'll wait and see who else picks it up...

What do you have to hide Moneypenny
Thought this topic was spam when I got the new thread notice, but what great desk, maybe I should build something like that for my next project...

Hmm looks like the others are quiet here. I'll jump in on the conservative side. In my opinion, if you don't know where to start, follow some of Warren Buffets advice:
Bascially, stick to index funds unless you're a pro. Some of the guys around here are and have made much more than the index, but over long periods of time the index beats almost everyone.

« on: July 29, 2013, 04:32:10 pm »Hey Patrick. My shares aren't updating.JSE link was offline for a little while. It seems back to normal judging by the way my rank is dropping
I saw it on ABSA the day it fell, but it may just have been a faulty trade as it bounced from the 130c range to 18c and back in virtually no time.. Realistically it probably wasn't possible for anyone to make that profit. Shi says he would accept a reversal, most likely the right thing to do in terms of the contest. Shi can I undo that trade?Can's see anything on my BoE system to show that it fell dramatically in the last few months and show that it is trading around 136 cents. Have seen situations on the JSE where an investor has entered the wrong price on a sell order but most time the order is unwound by the JSEI would suggest that you delete this trade. It is an unrealistic trade.
Why delete?
