ASX Sharemarket Game 2007 - join and play!

[BlingBling]

I finished @ $53,598.06 today. Wish I had of bought more LGL

 

[Bluesky]

Is it too late to start this guys?

 

[The Mint Man]

Mint man, Are you trading or buying & holding? I'm doing the latter.
I've still got 30% in cash sitting there. I think I'll hold BPT. I too like you bought at the same price!

No buying and holding.
Finished today at $56083.... 2 of my stocks jumped 5% and the rest were slightly up as well.
as of yesterday I was 35th national and 16th state from memory, hopefully Ive jumped up again in the ranks today but Id say everyone had a good day.

Ive been playing this game since I was 17 (24 now) and while most people that won in the early days traded (due to no restrictions on trading or diversification rule) I am of the understanding that most people that win today mostly dont trade, I know that was the case for the last winner anyway.

Cheers

EDIT: Bluesky, yes it is too late to start. best thing to do would be to start an account with ASX (which has many useful tools anyway)
and while your at it I think you can put your name and email down so they can inform you of the next upcoming game.... but dont hold your breath, they are usually months apart. This one was put off for ages due to technical faults in the original platform.

I narrowed the 100 stocks down to 20 that I liked before buying.... LGL and NCM was one of them but I didnt buy it in the end, instead opting for BPT would have been killing it even more than I am now, ahh well **** happens

 

[doctorj]

Still got you... just. $56,141.12

You cut BPT yet? I still haven't done it - while the other holdings are running I can afford to let it sit and wait.

No Im of the same frame of mind as you ATM.... but I did consider doing it 2 days ago so that I could buy NCM.... should have done it
Ill hold for a little longer but after that I will be stock/value hunting.

Cheers

yeah i was doing well till i bought shares ( had 50.000) At Least today has brought me over and past the line :

Yeah I can relate to that exactly BIG BWACULL. My excuse is that I missed the first day, bought up, then had to focus on some real world issues for a few days. But I guess there is a lesson to be learned out of it anyway.

I cut BPT loose just before the close today. The damn thing will probably move now!

I was thinking the same as you Mint Man. I was waiting for NCM to come off trading halt, but I missed those couple of days. Might get a look in when the POG has a correction.

I'm gonna get serious now. :swear:

Anyone wish to nominate their best performer so far. LGL for me.

 

[BlingBling]

My best performers.. PDN Bought @ $5.78 & LGL @ 3.31.
I mucked up the LGL order and only got half of what I should have Could be worse though!
My other 2 stocks BPT and TTS have done NADA.

 

[BIG BWACULL]

Best performer would be JBH with a 6.76% gain today but i only caught 4.69% as i bought yesterday at $13.29 but still got a return
Hopefully i can stay just above 50,000 and the rest of yas can crash and burn around me so i can take out the Grand prize $6000 CASH
Gee that wasn't nice was it :
I'll be happy to survive, Its amazing the risks you take when its not your money or when its monopoly money I just went BANG, buy that whatever the price (RIO), Yep some of those (BHP) and a couple these OXR, like i was out at the supermarket buying groceries (Probably not a good way to trade Oh well it aint my money, Might become a broker Lol NOT
Oh i made $2142 today and $600 of it payed back losses from my first day. DOH!

That was really funny BIG BWACULL:

It brought tears to my eyes laughing.

I would rather eat broken glass then join and play!

Not such a good day yesterday, slipped down to 44th and realised a small loss on BPT (I note it's green today...).

Up to $57,270.12 this morning, but still a long way behind the leader who was on $59,078.30 at close yesterday...

 

[The Mint Man]

Sold half my share holding in OSH to take some profit yesterday, still holding 1780 just to keep exposed to any speculation that may arrise... see what happens. With the proceeds I got in on one of the big banks with about $7700 just to diversify a little, the basis for this was that they are quite good value ATM and they also had an ann yesterday about buying into a company (39% worth, that should give it away) which is exposed to POG. Im happy about that decision as its up 4% today
I ended up giving BPT a little more time and that paid off a little as they are around 5% up but Ive got a very close eye on this one

Was getting worried there for the last couple of days as I was sitting idle, just sitting waiting but today I had a good up day with one gaining 6%, in fact all but one were up.

Currently $58613

How about you guys?

Cheers

 

[doctorj]

I had a quiet day - infact a pretty quiet few days.

Sitting on $57,944.19.

I'm fairly certain you can thank me for BPT's run. I chopped it for Lihir a little while back.

 

[The Mint Man]

Still not a bad move IMO. I wish I had of bought LGL instead of BPT in the first place, in hindsight I dont know why I didnt. POG was up so NCM and LGL should have been a given ahh well too late now.

 

[doctorj]

I'm going to sell either OXR or LGL to reduce gold exposure tomorrow and to diversify out of resources/energy.

Which to sell... which to sell...

 

[The Mint Man]

Dont take my word for it but OXR is near a high and unless it breaks up then I would sell. DYOR
As for LGL... thats a harder one as gold could go up more yet.

Cheers

Why Doc? Are you going pesimistic on the resource boom, or have you got your eye on something special?

I have been in and out of both LGL and OXR, but I'm inclined to stick with them a bit longer this time. Contrary to The Mint Man I'm expecting, eerrr hoping OXR will outperform LGL in the next week or two.

Haven't traded for a couple of days, cos I'm happy with my prospects for the moment, but still a bit behind you guys.

 

[Whiskers]

Hmmm, If you didn't have LGL Mint Man, What did you make your money with, RHC, SGM, or more day trading?

Hey i'm not that far behind you, Your 44th and i'm 3,423rd not long till i over take you or hopefully you undertake me I have $52,560.05 , I think i missed a lot of gains as i didnt start trading till a week after the Starting pistol (although with that said if i did start at the fall of the flag i may be worse off :dunno Any who hope everyone undertakes me cause it doesnt look like i'll be overtaking any one, but who Knows aint that good a daytrading and being at work doesnt help so i buy and hold and hope for the best :horse:.
Good luck to all :bekloppt:
