ASX Sharemarket Game 2008

Re: ASX Sharemarket game

After months of furious trading, I'm back at the beginning. Just like a lot of other players, sitting with just a little more than I started. This share trading thing is not as easy as it looks.

Oh freddie,

I'm devastated.

Re: ASX Sharemarket game

TB you obviously love your horse racing ,i remember a few years ago we had for siring purposes until he died of old age a pacer called Infield ,from victoria
won the kilmore cup,and as a 2yo im told ran 1/8 second outside a world record,dont know the distance.the most placid stallion he used to poke his head in through our bathroom window for a scratch.

i remember watching villiage kid win the interdom ,i think '86 amazing race ,vanderport trying to run him down from 3 or 4 wide.

oh and im actually about 20 from last place in this game(havent had the time )well thats my excuse anyway

Re: ASX Sharemarket game

Morning all. Trots races & dogs - all too risky for me, haven't been near any of them for years, Mind you had an afghan hound for a long while, and she loved to race, well for 3/4 of the race any way, then she would get bored and pick a fight with the other dogs, made for interesting race meets.

Back to stocks, if one could pick the ups and downs a little better, I would have more money in the kit, have done well with fmg, bhp and yesterday lei. lost a bundle on the banks asx and lgl, so am just catching up

Too risky?you should be looking at my race tips..last week my 2 best,the anchors in the quaddy in melbourne,gunfire messiah & amberino who had both won for the TB stable at their previous starts...got the cash at..wait for it
$3.50 & $3.70...(we hear about 1 baggers like mxr...wow )

$100 all up those 2 gives you $1295..or nearly a 13 bagger...1295%

the best you can get to that would be FDL pre the big anns when they went from 1c to 9c at close & up to 14c..mak's had a 10 bag run...but for the real multi baggers...the TB tips/stable are the go..

had a few good baggers lately,helideck in 2 tips at 7/1 & $15.40...plus the 2 last week have won twice for the TB stable,calchris a deadheat winner at $21.50..paid $10.50..


ive got a stable up & running for the brisbane carnival which will have a few runners this week..go have a look...mate i used to be a big punter & these tips i do,they are no fluke...i tip to win not place so go look for this weeks tips around lunchtime...tb

Are you guys in it again?

Re: ASX Sharemarket game

Looks like the Trading Places comp is on again too:
http://www.tradingplaces.com.au/tp/TPHome.jsp

I think those are the only 2 in Aus - JPMorgan and the ASX one.
Anyone know of others?

Re: ASX Sharemarket game

Not to my knowledge. Is the trading places one open to the public or only university students, their website confuses me...

Only uni students I think, cause u need a .edu email address to sign up from memory. Westpac used to have a game but i cant find it anymore.

Re: ASX Sharemarket game

Good luck all.

I've never done anything like this before, so it should be interesting to see how I go. Much better using monopoly money!

Any tips? I'm guess with this kind of market we are just going to have to buy the dips during the day...

Re: ASX Sharemarket game

My 12 year old is doing it through his school. He tells me they can only trade in 150 companies and the brokerage is $30 each way With a hypothetical kitty of $50K commissions will be a huge drag.

They have started an "ASX Club" for those kids interested in doing the game. My son told me that when he asked the teacher supervising it if they could use stop losses and contingent orders he was immediately treated as "resident expert" by the other kids Hope he does better than his mother has lately I don't know whether to help him or see how he does and maybe start taking tips from him in future. If my expectations of the market play out it won't be easy to make much of a profit if restricted to long positions only during the game period - is shorting allowed?

 

[burnsie]

Re: ASX Sharemarket game

Unfortunately shorting is not allowed, and yes brokerage is $30 each way which makes day trading difficult.

I'd say let the boy go and see how he does.

ASX Game 1, 2010
Registration extended to 24 February
Trading: 18 February to 2 June

Good for beginners and to try out some 'trade strategies' (within bounds of the game rules). I find it tests how well you stick to your strategy, albeit its not real money involved.
The more you mentally apply it as a real test the better the learnings.

I enjoy the game. Are there others?? Do others use it as a test of their ability in any fashion.
