l think that the whole game is a crock of S$#T!!!

1) Portfolio shouldn't be limited to 20% for one stock - It's a hypothetical challange, your money, do what u want with it, where u want it!!

2) Answering questions for bonus every night is wrong - in the mines, where l just worked for a week, l don't have access to internet at all!!

3) Having friends referred for a $1000 bonus on your poftfolio - WRONG. If this were real life, everyone in finance would have 1000's more friends

4) Why just the ASX300 - if it's a hypo challange, put your money where ever and in what ever u want to! Should be open to every stock on the Oz market.

Hi,
I'm still playing, although I'm not putting the same effort into it as I did with the ASX one. I just can't get enthusiastic about it knowing that people can rise through the ranks by means other than trading. But I guess life is like that too

I'm currently in position 1048 with $152,819.17. Stocks held (in the game) are

Stock Quantity Initial Current Positions P/L Trade
CPU 1006 $9.94 $10.30 $10,356.77 $357.13 Buy Sell
HVN 1472 $6.79 $6.87 $10,105.28 $110.40 Buy Sell
CBA 165 $60.35 $60.42 $9,969.30 $11.55 Buy Sell
DRT 5277 $1.90 $1.95 $10,290.15 $290.24 Buy Sell
PDN 1254 $7.97 $7.38 $9,248.25 -$746.13 Buy Sell
UGL 494 $20.23 $20.73 $10,238.15 $244.53 Buy Sell
ASX 178 $55.89 $56.67 $10,086.37 $137.95 Buy Sell
WOR 209 $47.59 $46.05 $9,623.41 -$322.91 Buy Sell

I bought PDN too early as well. Am waiting for a red day before I buy any more stocks

Yes mouse, my thoughts there too.A buy and hold with some adjusments is my approach.

The comp. leaders are not skipping away due to the more bearish week so a good run could see any back-markers rise.PDN at the moment and i `ll have to wait for a rise, if ever, or take a loss

Todays answer is NAB if any want to know.

Thanks, the answer for the 22/11 is STO.
My portfolio got smashed today and knocked me out of the top 100 ouch.

 

[mr camouflage]

as of 22/11

Ranking

Your portfolio is FALLING today
Current Position: 769th
Game High: 219th
Position Last Week: 1457th
Game Low: 9486th
Weekly Percentage Change: +33.57%
(one referral, 100% quiz answers correct)

I'm playing against another guy from work as a friendly office rivalry comp.

I read the rules about answering the question, so we would work out between us the correct answer using 2 of our guesses each, then they changed it to 3 answers so we didn't need to bother, but now its up to 6 answers. It's like they are just making up the rules as they go along.

Current weekly % leader is 17KeyserSoze, if you look through the leader board he has about 20 different accounts 1KeyserSoze up to around 20KeyserSoze, which according to the rules is allowed. Some of them he hasn't done any trading with as of yet.

I created a new account to see if i could do any better than my current one, but it probably wont since its down a weeks worth of quiz answer prize amounts.

I don't think it was a very well thought out competition, but fun anyway. Beats loosing real money.

"I don't think it was a very well thought out competition, but fun anyway. Beats loosing real money."

What??? You mean it's not real money? : Damn, I thought they gave us what we made at the end

I'm currently in position 988 with $178,557.20. I missed one days question. If you add that $10,000 to my score, I'd be in position 257. Then add a couple of thousand for some more referrals I would be in about position .. heck I'd be in the top 100 ... what's wrong with all you other people

Hmmm, strange, KeyserSoze has had all his portfolios reset to 120,000. !??!

According to the rules you can have many portfolios:

each Participant may only receive one (1) place in the Finals, irrespective of the number of portfolios entered

Which implies that you can create many portfolios. No where in the terms and conditions does it say you cant.

Strange.

Also in the terms and conditions, you have to have a valid drivers licence. So all those people that don't have a licence, or if its been suspended for whatever reason, they are ineligible to win anything.
