Reminds me of when I was trading FX. Could only do so after work when I was having some cold ones that gave me courage to place orders. The next afternoon I would see stuff that I forgot to close and never remembered opening them. Had to leave them to run for months to get back into profit.
Needless to say, I lost R130K after a margin call.  :LHST:

I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Patrick - I see that your final prices for shares seems to be taken as per the start of the afternoon auction. Maybe you should reconsider using closing prices as end of day after the auction has been concluded. Would make my position just look a bit better :LHST:

I note that TCS was suspended today, whats happens if they in ones portfolio, NIL value, a total loss or do they stay there at last traded price.

I would think a total loss and nil value as the shares can,t trade

As the game past is now history, it may be fun to save the first games bought on record and update the prices to see where they end next year, ie challenge 1.

and bit of glance in the past, no need to just kill it

these competitions have always had a issue in the past where someone buys shares that are not very liquid, e,g . If I had bought selco with all my money I would be 131% up today.

but that not be a true reflection as they hardly trade and there would be no hope of me selling or realising my profit.

Should you not have a cap on purchases related to the shares average volume

And it did not take to long to happen this year, games a farce

I have to unfortunately agree - I see new No 1 on the leader-board, bought a share, that would have taken him more than a week to get the quantity he owns - he could no sell the lot at a massive profit, even if the real market would only accept 1% of his holdings

Also agree, see my other thread now, how do we find the infrequently traded shares to remove them?
