Question, since this is turning out to be quite fun, will you run/reset this comp every year?

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

Awesome!

Btw, can you change the formatting of the money value on the leaderboard? The decimals are not set to two places (ie. round numbers display as R5000 instead of R5000.00 and 20c display as R0.2 instead of R0.20)

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

Hi Patrick

Could you show the ALSI on the leaderboard so that we can see if we at least outperform the ALSI?

Transferred to requests :o

Also vote that share portfolios can't be hidden 8)

How many people have more than one portfolio?

How about a table for the biggest gainers in a week ?

1) No idea.
2) Good idea, I'll see if I can do that.

Oh and my screeb is working but has a bright gold bar across the top. Does that also mean it's broken  ;D

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

Back on this issue again since we have some unrealistic numbers on top of the board. What if we had a minimum share price allowed for purchase. A value of R1 (just an example, could be anything) minimum would stop the really un-tradable penny shares, but still allow some of the altx board like OLG which actually does trade. Only for next year though...

The principles around CGT are that you pay on the total profit you make between base cost and selling prices (buying and selling brokerage is incorporated) so one is talking net profit. However if you sustain a loss in terms of share operations then that loss can be rolled over to the next tax year and can be used to low the CGT assessment

As I am a Fund Manager, I would surely not buy stocks at 1c for my investors. Especially not 1 or 3 stocks at that price.
