Explain London. I got 1500 shares at 18c and suddenly it's showing a massive profit? Can't be right?

Possible consolidation. Whats share code ?

LON

I tried to put a sell order now but it there's a trade halt.

 

[johnjm]

Oh crap I meant lonmin hehe

For every 100 shares you received 1 share at 100x the price could be that your account showing wrong number of shares
Your r300 is worth r240

 

[johnjm]

Yeah the account hasn't dropped the number of shares yet.

 

[techead]

I dont understand how people can have portfolios and NOT follow corporate events???



edit: serious question

 

[johnjm]

My portfolio is hardly share based, it's more like messing around when I'm bored. 80% of everything I have sits in a Ny bank account while the majority of my rands are in Allan gray accounts. The share trading is an add on with my bank so it's pretty easy.

So for people like me, playing with a few shares makes no difference in my life. Did you think that anR300 punt on lonmin is serious? Okay the sasol and woolies shares were serious ones but calculated, as I was going to buy them anyway, and the slump due to Zumba made it sweeter. We aren't talking about a large portfolio here, like I said, it's for ****s and giggles.

I was thinking more from an interest perspective. I'm not hectic into it, but I have money in a few investments and also in some shares so naturally I keep an eye on the market for big corporate events.

thats all im saying

Ain't nobody got time fo that...

I see that Curro, a few minutes ago, broke through to R58 per share mark, but retracted back to the current R55,88. I think investors can soon expect new highs here.


I still say this is a great long-term investment opportunity for anyone who wants to put away something each month and have a nice bonus at the end of the year

Big corporate events are what this forum is for. Better to keep an eye on life instead. With Eskom going to shyt and back electricity prices are only going to keep climbing. So companies like Renergen are good long term investments.

While on that subject, this is totally ridiculous. I can only buy 5 shares at a time. Did two transactions today and three the previous days. Weirdest thing is none of my trades show up on google finance so it almost feels like I'm being given second hand shares. Wish EE would fix their issues.

Curro is short to medium term. It's feeding on the hype of the hype but sooner or later the reality will set in that the ANC will ****up private education as well and it will burst like the dot com bubble. So buy it for a quick buck but keep a daily eye on it.

What do you mean they aren't showing up in Google Finance?

You need to manually add them there, it's not automatic, unless I missed some new feature.

Manually? I see 60, 6, 100, 9, 27, plus 1.06k for yesterday but nowhere does the 5 shares I bought show up on the graph. It's weird.

I do not see this happening in the short nor medium term. They have had sustained growth the past 5 years - year on year. The government had 20 years to address any issue relating to private education. Virtually all Ministers in the ANC have children in Curro. Nothing will happen under ANC rule, but EFF rule may be another matter. Besides, currently Curro is expanding at a massive rate, with 800 new schools to be opened in the next 2 years. In addition, they are busy buying out a number of other private schools. The more the ANC tampers with the education system, the more the need will arise for people to enter their children in private schools.

While I do agree that you need to keep an eye on your investments, this counts for all investments you deal with yourself on a daily basis. I will leave Curro aside with no worries as a long-term investment and keep funding them as and when I have cash to invest.

Yeah but that's not the reason for buying something like this.

that's not what I'm saying - the share simply doesn't trade, so you can't easily get "in" or "out" - not something I would look at before trading picks up
