Good point, it's fixed, credited the amount back to you. I don't have a list I can scan though, so if anyone knows of other shares to remove from the list please let me know.

Patrick, my screen does not work. blank, just check who is in the lead please.

Weird, do the other screens work? Else send me the details in a pm and I'll figure out what's up from there.

Oh and well done! For now...

Ok let's go. I see jaDEB's taken an early lead with his 100% sibanye gold portfolio, followed by 100ways who holds 7 shares. I'll be joining in soon, hope to see the rest of you there.

I'll give each user the option, with the default being yes.

I'm hoping to get into SAB in a couple of months. Hopefully at a good price.

As for today, I see UK retail is down and below expectation, while SA retail is up:

Frikkin cool, now u need to work on Advertisements on your sites. I do not want u to disappear. Also see if you legally can get feeds, 15 min delayed is fine. showing main i.e. JSE, dowjones, the rant and so on.

must say, u doing a good job.

Thanks. I got the all ok from the JSE, it'll be 15 to 25 minutes delayed depending on when exactly it syncs. I'll monitor the traffic, when I see enough hits to start covering costs I'll put the ads in. Who knows, maybe some financial institution would want to sponsor the challenge... We'll see.

Why oh why Patrick are you working so hard?  It's appreciated though, thank you

Hey MP. To be honest, this is the type of competition I've been looking for. It's dfferent to the normal share trading competitions as you'll see on the site. The usual share competitions generally give you R1million for you to trade and see where you end up. Not very realistic, who has a million lying around. In this one, you are the chairman of an investment club, and get R100 000 every month to invest.

As you know, investing cost effectively only happens when you have R30k per month, which for an investment club would be easily possible. I'm hoping it will be fun, and a good learning experience which could be carried over to real life too. I hope you enjoy it, even though you're more trader than investor. I'd be very appreciative it you could take a look at the site. I've opened it up to everyone for now, and will clear up the database on Sunday night before the kick off on Monday: http://www.investorchallenge.co.za/
