One may suspect the administrator of some back-hand dealings in the database here.....?
 :) ;) :D ;D 8) ::)

Luckily my profile is public :)

It's getting lonely here in the 6% level. Not even anyone in the 5% level to keep me company. Must admit it was a fair amount of luck as I wasn't expecting CML to shoot the lights out like it has. On the plus side, it could have been my skill in avoiding resources!

Group signup/administration request?

Some random just joined my group.
I shouldn't complain too much because he/she is bringing up the group average, but I'd like a way to keep my group free of strangers.

Done, group started can also remove people.

How do you sell some of your shares?

From the front page:

Please note, this is an investment club, not a trading club, and you will not be able to sell any shares, so plan your purchases wisely!
From next year you'll probably be able to dump losing shares, but most likely no profit taking. In keeping with the theme of an investment contest...

Nice going btw, i see you're in second place. Care to give us some insight into your choices?

Fortunately I have some code in the system that checks every signup against a central spam database. So far nobody has gotten through, but in the brief time that it's been running...

Hamster better be careful, there's a HoundDog around. We could always ask Robocop to keep an eye on things.

The Investor Challenge / May's money is in.
« on: May 01, 2013, 09:51:35 pm »
Everyone should have another R100 000 in cash. So who's going to stay in cash or what do you plan on buying this month?

Definitely. I'll most likely put some ads on the site to make it self sustaining.

Shares / Help the newbies
« on: April 30, 2013, 01:44:30 pm »
A bunch of the competition users are clearly new to investing so I'd like to include some advice to the newbies in the email when the monthly deposit email goes out every month.

For the first month I thought of explaining how buying less than R30k worth of shares means you pay an excessive amount in fees.

Any other ideas as to what I could use in future months? Something which seems like common sense to us might be useful to a newby.

Dividends have been tough to figure out. There isn't a list of LDTs I can grab on a website. I did manage to find most of the ex-dividend dates. AFAIK if you hold shares before the ex-div date you get a payment. OMLs ex dividend date was the 22nd, so even though it was after LDT, they did technically own the shares at the right time...

I'll go with thoughts from others here?

Unless I find a site offering all those dates, the only way I could see of having things perfect would be to have humans entering the dates for me. Perhaps double checked by someone else. That way contestants would have to enter the LDTs and ex dividend dates.
