The selling part would simulate more real time investing/trading.
I am getting hammered to the bottom by Ellie's  :'( :'(
Ellies are taking strain because the government are taking too long to sanction the set top boxes for digital TV - they keep pushing out the conversion date

In my book, all those above the STXIND are winners and beating most Fund Managers.   :TU:

Not talking about the 1c and 2c Penny stock holders.  :frustrated:
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Seems like you have been at the juice somewhat earlier than normal - would you have made this statement a week or two ago when your portfolio was below the index - don't think so.
If you want to be controversial then lay it on the line but be consistent >:D

As long as you consistently make more than what you put in (after brokers & tax), then you're okay in my book.  :)

Patrick, either the leader board has frozen in time or I'm perfecting the skill of picking loser shares. Which is it?

Yeh. I know how you feel. Sickening to invest in healthy stuff. You must reprimand them. Shout at them. They will then go up. Reminds me to reprimand mine now.

PNC.   :frustrated: Are you in DOS mode again. Sleeping I think. You are embarrassing me in front of 300+ people here. What's wrong with you? Look at your pal CML that now has to carry you in my portfolio. Get off your butt and get going. Your bosses bought you more toys as in acquisitions and you not interested !!!
MTA.   :frustrated:  Are your batteries flat? Your boss just bought you a R2.2B battery buddy and you got revved up for 2 days then lost interest. I already said here that you are the next CML and now you embarrass me like this. Put some spark in there and get your wheels rolling mate.
CML.  ^-^ Thank you for doing so well. Talk some sense into your room mates and get them going. Then you must rest as you must be tired now. I don't mind if you have a rest my friend.

No, not going to polish their marbles.  In real life I would have kicked them to the curb by now, learning patience here, or is it 'patients'.

I'm actually impressed at how many of the participants are beating inflation. and how few are seeing capital losses... (Not that beating inflation is unexpected).

Actually the performance of the market lately has impressed me. No doubt a correction is due then look again. The minus figures will shoot up.
