In case no one has figured it out. I'm Ghost :)
Not doing too well, but definitely not the worst performer..

These investment games are going to get me into trouble one day. I've managed to make a reasonable return on challenges like these which makes using real money very tempting... but IRL I'd probably crash and burn instead of getting 40% (annualised) returns...

I picked a random company and bought shares worth all my money. Exactly like you shouldn't do. :) Now to hope for the best!

I see the person (Robbie, not sure if he is MyBB member) that is currently top of the leaderboards has 100% Old Mutual Shares and received a divdend of R2000. He started playing on the 22/4.

I've also got OM shares and started on the 24th. No dividend. Did I miss it by 2 days? :crying:

Last day to trade was actually the 19th, ex dividend day was the 22nd. You missed it, but it seems Robbie missed it too and I'll need to re-look at when I allocate dividends and possibly reverse the incorrect allocation.

@Patrick - how about averaging each groups investment growth and sorting the groups from best to worst just like the full leader board?

I've just done something close, averaging each groups net worth. Hope you like it cos it was a b*tch to code. You don't want to see that SQL statement....

Most likely from next year you'll be able to dump shares, but only for a loss to keep the taxman happy :wtf:

It's amazing how much my ranking changes over just a few hours! It's an eye opener for me :)

Anyone know why the share prices aren't changing? They have been the same price for the last 2 days I think.
