And the person that told me "Go with Firstrand bank" can go die

Haha! To be honest, I am just trying to go for the big ones in each industry and let the average work it out. Not the best strategy I know, but it returning me some results..

I'm hugging my 100 grand trying to decide what to try next

The longer you hug it, the less it'll be worth, remember that over the long run the market will mostly go up. So even if you blow it now, 2 months from now it'll be a different picture.

Back to 98.

Can someone suggest a good share trading simulator? Sanlam's looks good, but only one month free....

Now some penny share hero has taken a huge lead... If there wasn't a minimum fee in real life I'd buy one of the shares he bought and sell it at 1c

The Gold and Platinum prices are little unstable now. Best to pounch on them now before they stabilize

Bumping my question to the new page: does anyone know of a decent, free, trading simulator?

 

[Pitbull]

Impala plats up 1.2% going to be a good day for platinum

 

[Pitbull]

Lol... Crap. I thought we can trade buy/sell...

Now all my money in 4 options...

Next year I'll have two formats for the competition, one for investing and one for trading.

Oh noes! I'm bottom of the leaderboard because of my randomly chosen company Primeserv has gone down the drain.

All shares are mostly up - suprised the market didn't react to Marikana protests at court - so Lonmin actually on the upside for me.

Damned African Bank - don't know how long it'll take to ride out this wave

Though Capitec is marginally down for me - great news that they're now in the Top4 banks, surpassing Nedbank

The AMPS results – based on the “main bank” population and not specific products – shows that Absa has retained the largest portion of South Africa’s 23.2 (2012) million banked population, covering 32.9% of the market. This is down from 34.9% in 2011.

First National Bank moved down from 25.6% to 25.2%, while Standard Bank saw a 0.4% increase in market share, from 23.5% to 23.9%.

New kid on the block, Capitec’s market share grew from 7.9% to 10.8% between the period of January 2012 to December 2012, showing 43% year-on-year growth for the bank.

This means Capitec has pushed past Nedbank, which currently has a market share of 10.7% (down from 11% in 2011), according to the AMPS data.

That would be great! This is very educational, but personally I would find a trading simulator more so, as it would be a great incentive to actually look at what you buy rather than to just guess.

How do you delete your acc because it is making me depro . . .

Whether it's investing or trading, you shouldn't be guessing... they're just over different terms. (IIRC you need to hold on to a stock for 5 years to avoid capital gains taxes)

Unrelated: Capitec is hurting me

Straight to the bottom after a few hours. I should get a reward for that. Not an easy thing to do

I've actually wondered. How easy would it be to try get to the bottom of the pile..? The traders sometimes try pick a loser so they can short it, and they often get it wrong...

Capitec dropped by like 5% :'( there I go down the list
