I am totally against rolling back the transaction - in the context of the competition I recommended that we split the competition into two parts those who wanted to enter the competition as investors and those who wanted to enter as traders. This recommendation was not carried and now because we want to run a single competition we want to unwind a trade where a "trader" has been opportunistic. I hold CSB (Cashbuild) in my real portfolio and towards end of day the price dropped to R 155 a move of R 5.05 from yesterday. I too could be opportunistic and buy the shares after hours and wait for it to return to yesterdays close and thus show a gain of R 5.05 and more as it got as high as R 160. At this time of the year the fund managers are all playing games having window dressed their year end results with almost all time highs - and now the reality sets in. You could also potentially make significant gains if you bought BEL (Bell); YRK (York); POY (Poynting); PSG (PSG) after hours tonight as surely these share prices will recover during the course of tomorrow. To my mind the only time a trade can be unwound is if there is a trade at the competition level but not at the market level, thus if no trade on the market then the trade can't happen in the competition.
We need to realise that the essence of this competition is to end in the number 1 slot, how it is achieved is incidental, and if there are loopholes in the competition then we need to get consensus to close those loopholes without damaging a competitors situation adversely
