You have some meaningful stats yet for this year after the first month.

Going to be a different one.

Don,t see your normal investment type shares performing.  My portfolio was down near last in the first challenge.

Suppose shit happens.

Should anyone wonder tgg78703 and aae are the same person. One is at home with a few dops in his arse and the other at work with a hangover.

Neither make good investments

Just this: http://www.investorchallenge.co.za/com_share_stats.php

And in this world I make fairly lousy choices too... Fortunately I don't buy the same in reality!

Makes for interesting reading. some people went for last years winners, some for last years losers(me).

There does however appear to be some merit in the fact that a decent percentage of the persons playing the game are really into investing and have not been close to the wrong sectors.

Did note that cml seems to the big hit. Also surprised with all the interest in bti

What should your remaining average cost be?
At the moment I do this (pseudocode), for a sale, the number of shares is negative:
price_per_share = 0;
Repeat for all transactions of the same stock symbol;
price_per_share = price_per_share + number_of_shares*stock_price/number_of_shares;
End repeat;

Don't confuse me

I don't write computer code I buy and sell shares.Seems I should rather be into computer code and leave shares alone.

If you check my buy and sell on my account you will get to the answer sooner, it does not affect my end value. But my average cost has gone funny, it went up to R27.18 for abl and if someone has bought abl at that price this year. The pope is a protestant, or me a  hells angel ;)

How's it look now? If at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0.

Why is current holdings showing all shares bought to date and not only current holdings. Those sold are still showing in current holdings but not included in the total
