I would suggest that you delete this trade. It is an unrealistic trade.

Why delete? :) If it has staying power so be it, if not, it will fade all by itself.
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 JSE

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?

Yes please Patrick. Bottom line is that even though it is within the rules of the competition, it was an unrealistic trade. So, please undo the FGL (18c) trade.

PS: RAC ... Patrick please note that there is an offer on the table and it looks like it will be taken out by Grindrod.

I always thought that if your stocks do not perform, you have to reprimand them to get them going. Works sometimes but I just found the golden bullet.
Add Omnia to your portfolio. She has enough fertilizer to share with her new found buddies in her stable to make them all grow.
Since adding OMN, they all going up.  :LHST:

Does that also work if you buy Pfizer?

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

In my view Dvr has just dissed himself off the competition by adding R100k worth of 2c stock. Sad as he was doing so well. Does he not read the posts here about these penny stocks?

Penny shares have no place in an investor competition. Sadly I left them in to begin with. Next year they'll be gone, but we need to come up with a minimum qualification price. Maybe R1?

The FSB will revoke his licence and most definitely Saiyan's for misappropriation of clients money.
Patrick, you should act as the FSB and do the same. Revert the trades back into cash with 2% interest. You'l get my vote.
I would say no penny stocks. Penny Stocks are stocks under R10, $10,€10 etc. as Prof Google told me.

In my view R10 would be too high - there are too many stocks (208 presently) that would then be excluded.

I believe if it is on the market then it should be available for competition. If some1 kick your @ss using a 2c share, then so be it, cause if it was real he still would have kicked your @ss.

If it scares you, it's a sign you need to do it

only if there were enough sell shares on offer at the price that the person bought in and his holdings should then be valued at the buy price offer
