Forums are made by where the members are. I've paid for the domain for a year, the hosting won't cost me a cent so I'll keep it running until this time next year at least.

Shares / Re: Post your portfolio!
« on: April 03, 2013, 12:29:46 pm »
At present:
FOORD Equity 90%
CML 3.3%
STX Indi 3.3%
Vodacom 3.3%

Watchlist:
SAB
MTN
PNC
MTA
IVT
RMI

I'm new to buying shares directly, so at the moment 90% of my investment is in FOORD equity. They've done well so I'll keep that there and use my monthly contributions to buying shares directly.

Shares / Share pick competition - What would you like?
« on: April 03, 2013, 11:56:23 am »
Since I'm a software developer by profession I could code a share pick competition and link it to the forum. How do you think it should work?

My thoughts are everyone gets to pick a portfolio of up to 5 shares, and decide what percentage of the portfolio each of those hold, then we do running calculations and save the monthly leaderboard at the end of the month.

Any other suggestions?

another option to help limit spam would be to force new users to click a confirm subscription link via the email account they provided .... this will at least slow down the spam registrations

Good call. I've just done that.

Looks great guys, and the chats have been imported. well done  ;D

only the smallcaps one, partially  :-[

I'm looking for ways to import. Not so easy I'm afraid. I suppose we could copy and paste if a topic is of interest, but so far I can't find anything automated that would do it. I'm also not sure that would be legal/ethical.

Ok so now it says I've just arrived instead of newbie. The default groups go as follows, feel like inventing some clever and fun names?

Welcome guys. This is a trial, if it get's used I'll keep it. Feel free to test in any way you like.

If you would like to volunteer to be a moderator, please let me know so I can add you to the mod list.

Cheers,

Just checking to see what a quote looks like.

Shares / Share Dividends and LDTs
« on: April 03, 2013, 04:50:56 pm »
In order to assist with keeping track of dividends and allocating them to the competition, I would really appreciate it if we could enter dividends into the following table EXCLUDING TAX, the system now handles that! Once added it'll automatically post the LDT to the end of thread.
