National ranking 3077 of 5039
State ranking 1061 of 1751
I never usually buy at market so...ill blame that.
Players that don't work...or have good access to a PC during the day
have a big advantage....i don't

Re: ASX Sharemarket game
Hey woohoo, I'm 41 national and NUMERO UNO in Tas!! Well I thought it was pretty impressive anyway - bought banks (NAB, CBA, WBC) and BBG and PDN in the middle of day 1 and the strange thing was that I managed to get banks at not much more than what they closed at yesterday?? They must have closed much higher on Thursday than they were in the middle of the day, since they all got crunched yesterday
Anyway, I agree that having access to trading during the day helps, coz I sold BBG yesterday once I saw that they had jumped after releasing results, and bought ZFX after reading ASF thread made another quick 4% just on that trade
So currently holding CBA, WBC, NAB, PDN, ZFX.
I reckon leaders Monday will have to have been holding WES after their 7% rally.
Looking forward to trying to hang on to my gains and trade actively this game around as in the past have not bothered much with it.

Over here freddie!
I started late and only bought and sold a couple of shares yesterday and today. Am currently sitting on $50,564.53. They don't update positions until midnight, so I'm not sure where I am ranked. At the start of today I was way back in position 8334.
My strategy for this game is to try and catch some bounces, but they are all bounced up to the top at the moment so I am only holding GFF, cause I couldn't decide whether to sell it or not
cheers

Re: ASX Sharemarket game
well good start so far for me - well into the top 10% so far - using ONLY mining services companies, and woodside.
havent got time to 'trade' as such, but might move the portfolio around when it suits.
a great sector for these strange times.

Re: ASX Sharemarket game
I'm a little ahead of you on $50,911.92. The leaders have shot out of the blocks, and are going to be impossible to catch!

Re: ASX Sharemarket game
Big question is - will the market pull back tomorrow, or will it continue to surge?

Re: ASX Sharemarket game
*jumps up and down on top of the market*
Go down! Go down! Go down!
My strategy was to wait for a red day and buy certain shares, but there hasn't been a red day yet and I am still waiting at the gates.
Of course, I'm happy that my real money shares have gone up though
cheers

Re: ASX Sharemarket game
Nice to see the market actually go up for three days in a row, hopefully today will make four. Might be time to start converting money into shares again. Inctec pivot has been an absolute bolter out of the blue over the past 6 months, and would now have to be the highest share price on the market. Ran ove RIO with little fanfare!

Re: ASX Sharemarket game
Was just holding ZFX last night, so have shown an improvement today, bought a bunch of stocks this morning hoping that the market would bounce after 11.00. It has bounced like a flat football

Re: ASX Sharemarket game
Oh dear,
I should have kept waiting at the gates! After a few days of not trading I, once again, dismissed my trading plan and jumped on in with both feet. Needless to say the day after I jumped in, the red days came.
I'm currently in position 6446 with $49652.76. Hoping to get myself back on track today.
Hows everyone else doing?
cheers

Re: ASX Sharemarket game
Bl***y terrible! Sold my ZFX at a profit on Friday, then bought a whole heap of banks & retail on Friday arvo expecting the market to improve on Monday & Today. Fingers were well and truely burnt weren't they! Back at $48,500 and desperate!
Mind you the leaders lost about $1,000 friday to monday & another 500 or so Mon to Tues, so that doesn't make me feel quite so bad! Mind you crashed from 2873 to 10193 in one slick move.
The lack of noise and bragging on this site probably means that there are a lot of others floundering around in the same stream as me
