Rules for next year
« on: December 17, 2013, 08:19:07 pm »
Don,t know if you have posted them yet.

But i have a feeling that next year will be a different kettle of fish, no cml, no satrix.

Most top shares are at a high, The only ones major down are gold (and that cost me) but will they recover

Certainly next year will pose a challenge regarding the unsustainable growth that we have currently been experiencing in the emerging market front, I'm sure the correction of our market is going to be substantial so it will be interesting to see who comes out ahead.

I remember reading that buying and selling of shares will be allowed, which will allow for some profit taking :)

Like this year plus:
  • Selling allowed, but tax will be taken in to account on the leaderboard
  • Nothing that trades for under R1
  • Unrealistic transactions can be rolled back on forum consensus. (last year we had some freak prices for a few minutes)
  • Nothing that trades for under R1

May be more to come, I'll have to see how testing goes. This year ends on Friday, next year begins on the 6th of Jan, I'll open it up for testing as soon as I've put all the pieces together.

It is not only SaiyanZ. Of the top 10 there are 6 investors that would not be there. Five with 1c stocks and one with a 12c stock that all doubled.
Had that money been "real money", I can assure you that they would not have bought them. Or in reality it could not have been possible to purchase them due to lack of sellers at those volumes.
This is all you can possibly learn if you are trying to learn anything about gambling your clients money as a Fund Manager.

Looking at this Bid and Buy spread, I find it quite difficult to believe.

This one is even worse. Quite a few guys had this and they are winning. Look at the number of bidders. Almost Nix, Nada, Fokol.

Since the goal is (or appears to be) realism I suggest you don't exclude penny shares.  Instead simply limit possible buys to:

  • Total daily purchase of a particular stock limited to half (or so) of the previous daily volume.
  • Price: average of previous day's price (maybe a weighted average if you've got the figures.)  Will help eliminate outliers

Funny how you don't also mention the volume of MRI traded today 9.5 Million
That equates to a mere R1.1m traded for the whole day.  :'(

I don't necessarily concur that we should exclude penny stocks. Also if Patrick can look at his system in the sense that if someone buys/sells penny stocks and there are no physical trades on the real market then the buyer/seller would not be permitted to buy/sell that particulate counter. Similarly if you have a large holding of one of the penny stocks you can't dump your holdings in Patrick's system until there is a physical sale and your sale would be limited to the physical sale. Similarly if someone on day 1 of the competition places an order for a 1 cent stock with the first allocation of R 100,000 and the physical sales are not there then the order to purchase is limited to the physical volumes of the day. Some penny stocks can give good returns and can be a company of tomorrow - in the '90's I bought Tiger Wheels for R.57 cents and sold them 8 years later at around R 21.00 before they expanded to rapidly and got into financial difficulties. Maybe Patrick can create an exception report and each of the cases is looked at on its merits rather than using a blanket approach, after all why penalize a person who buys a penny stock early in the year and then sits the ride out to end of year and the tax aspect may well prove to be a great leveler

keep in mind that the programme that manages all of this must not take a life time of work each day

https://www.sanlamitrade.co.za/Competition/CompetitionBlurb.aspx?lan=eng

There are other competitions as well look at their rules.

But no sane investor will invest in shares outside of some limits, so top 100 is an option, other option is split the competition, real investors, traders,gamblers.

It should be easier have a programme running 3 or 4 different categories than trying to do track volumes and crap like that.

 :TU: all those points mentioned earlier would be great, but I'd have to give up my day job... I'll do as much as I can to make it as realistic as possible, but I really don't think any investment club manager buying a 1c or 2c would be realistic...

Patrick you should just instead of removing penny shares from the competition set limits to the value of those shares you can buy. Set eg. R100k - R250k being the most investors can spend on single a penny share under R1 and no penny share of different companies can be bought at the same value. eg TCS @ 1c - BIO @ 1c - NUT @ 1c

Everyone in the competition will be able to keep a check like they do now on those not playing in the spirit of the game and you can reduce their holding in these companies and refund them to invest elsewhere

With selling added that won't have much effect. Someone buys R100k at 1c, sells at 2c, buys at 1c etc. and the whole competition is irrelevant... Limiting to the actual number of shares traded will be very tough on the running of the contest.

The very essence of this competition is its downfall - that is the objective is to end up as first on the list by whatever legitimate means possible and since the competition embodied all counters other than SSF, CFD and warrants it was going to be manipulated in the quest to win. Maybe the competition needs to be split into two; one leg would be the investor type person where penny stocks are excluded and then run in parallel a clone but this caters for the penny stocks and up front you make your choice as to which grouping you want to be incorporated into, and you can't switch mid year from one group to the other. Alternatively you could enter yourself into either leg but the leg that has greater gravitas is the investor leg - the other being for gamblers.
Tax must apply on both legs ???

Six of the top 10 are penny share holders of which 5 are 1c that doubled to 2c. This already tells you that 1c stock holders will always be in the top 10. If this is allowed then most participants will in future buy 1c stocks and make a mockery of the competition and the genuine investors will not bother to partake.
