I imagine it does apply.
If you have all your money in cash you can test it by trying to put it all in one company.
The page will then tell you that you cant do it and tell you the maximum amount of shares you can buy to remain under 20%.
Then you can just cancel it. (but you probably know that already)
who's this 21'st administrator player?
They are not on the list of 20 players that made it to the finals. Is that CBNC having a go at winning the car so they dont have to give it away to anyone?

when it tells you that you are over just hit it again & it will come up with the
20% maximum for you without getting the calculator out...
20% maximum for you without getting the calculator out...

We still reserve the right to make judgements on inappropriate behaviour.
However I want to clarify two examples of what we determine inappropriate
behaviour and to inform you all that from tomorrow onwards, finalists will
begin to be ejected for if they are suspected of cheating specifically relating
to these two items.
The first is that any contestant that places orders in a real on-line trading
system or through a broker to intentionally manipulate the buy or sell prices
of stocks to then use in the Trading Matters Challenge is considered cheating
and contestants that are suspected of being involved in this activity will be
ejected from the competition without further warning.
The second is any contestant that is suspected of using or having more than one
registered user name in the finals will be ejected.
it seems that there are still people trying to cheat to win...
i know who did the first one, and they lost the profits they made. some people will go to any length to win, including buying a win

Contestants "suspected" of cheating will be ejected.
Love that bit. wheres the onus of proof? How can they tell if it's one user with 2 accounts, or 2 different users sharing a computer.
And who has enough money to influence the real share price anyway? If you had enough cash to affect a companies share price you could probably just buy a maserati.

Proof they dont need proof, have you all realised that this is a scam and that noone will be in the comp by the end of it, hang on maybe Simo because he actually had a real voice when they put him as a weekly winner?

I would say organisers want to fold the game.
If you have a bitch, I'd use it now.
i certainly dont believe that the organisers have the comp rigged in any way, but some players have been cheating
the email refers to at leats one player yesterday who was buying dyl shares in real trading, 10 at a time for $3.00 at 28c and selling at 30 c in the game this made him over $600 a shot, and he did it 11 times. so it cost him or her about $700 real money to get $6600 in the game. its not hard to look at the course of trades and match it to the game trades
there are now only 20 players in the final, so someone has been bumped already
ps if anyone has some ideas for stocks for me to trade to get ahead i wouldnt say no to the help

Proving that would keep one busy, I often see trades of 1 share and think to myself what idiot would do that, but they do.

They look like legit trades to me.
The point of the promo is to get more people in to the stock market, is it not.
The promotors are trying to convince people that the Stock Market is clean and safe place to play and that there is somebody out there somewhere looking out for the players interests.
Well I am here to tell you that is not the case and if you believe what the promotors are trying to portray, you will lose your money. The market is raw and about greed and should not be portrayed as anything else.
I for one like it that way.

They look like legit trades to me.
The point of the promo is to get more people in to the stock market, is it not.
The promotors are trying to convince people that the Stock Market is clean and safe place to play and that there is somebody out there somewhere looking out for the players interests.
Well I am here to tell you that is not the case and if you believe what the promotors are trying to portray, you will lose your money. The market is raw and about greed and should not be portrayed as anything else.
I for one like it that way.
They may well be legitimate trades in the market, but I'd like to bet that they just so happen to correspond with one or more players buy and sell limit orders in the competition.
There seem to be two schools of thought here -a) one that thinks its quite fair and acceptable to win the competition by any means they can get away with and b) one that thinks the competiton should actually be won by someone who traded the best.
I'm happy to sit in the latter corner.

Nothing like a bit of aussie ingenuity when there is a Maserati up for grabs.
The course of sales can reveal the presence of robotic/algorythmic trading. Would it be unfair to take advantage of this if you detected it? If you detected programmed sellling why not use it?
The only real trading competition requires you to trade your own money in real markets. CMC held one last year.
This comp. was about promoting awareness for CNBC and E-Trade. Trading matters is an OK market summary show. If they had a show highlighting short term trading strategies and setups, that would be interesting. It wont happen as this would be considered fin. advice.
