Ahhhh, horrid you got slapped with the spread. Fck me that happened to me as well, unfortunately that price is currently price the the market is willing to pay for the share there's a explanation of it here somewhere and on PW but I'll need to go look

All i can say.. learned a real good lesson for sure, and it really sucks, next time i'll make sure about the buy/sell price even though it showed I was in the green/profit.

so how will you ever really know, given that you're seeing a delayed price and have no idea of the size of the offers or the pipeline?

On illiquid stocks you don't and will often times burn your fingers on delayed pricing. That's why on EE I tell people to rather stick with mid - large caps.

Call EE and make the sale over telephone, it's really that simple.

If i dont have live pricing available then Ill buy/sell for R5 just to get an idea of whats going on. You could in theory get live pricing for as little as 1c *correction with cost it comes to 5c
