yip..... and in the past 6 months, only R130k of their shares have been traded - 6MONTHS!

I have an order on to sell some of my Cashbuild shares and the price asking is R 135 (currently R 122.80) but during the auction someone purchased 2 of my offered shares - why I don't know but whoever it was made my sale hugely expensive as I got R 270 but incurred R 92.70 as a minimum brokerage charge. So yes there are some very stupid operators out in the market, who don't look at the all in costs before doing a deal

From leader to 40 % loss on one trade

Just had a chuckle at that myself!

What concerns me more is that porno_ster is 48th and I am only 223rd . Thus he/she has a better job than me, and they are better at investing.... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
You being screwed pal. Porno is on top and you on the bottom.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

that actually happens quite often in many shares - I think it's people manipulating the price to get it to move in a certain direction, so that they can buy or sell larger lots, then that small trades cost is insignificant, if they have managed to move the price and expectation of other buy/sellers - happens more with illiquid shares though
