Hi Hilary,

I'll join the game if that's OK with you. GD wouldn't let me earlier! Said I'd have to wait for the next one as I'd missed the start by a week.

Ive dognapped him as a result and so I'll release him once I'm in the game!

Will post my trades once I have confirmation that the ransom has been met ;-).

Hillary
My opening purchase as follows:
AHT 213330 @ 7.5 = 15999.75
OYS 136170 @ 11.75 = 15999.975
ETQ 100000 @ 16.0 = 16000.0
Total= 47999.725

cheers to all

Hil: please could you close my GSK position and use the proceeds to Short RBS. Thanks.

Hello Hilary,

Please could you

- SELL all my MRW
- BUY SRTS with half the balance available
- SELL SEL with the other half of the balance

Thank you.

Ursidae,

You're welcome to join in the game ........ please post your trades on this thread.

Calfy asked to play in the week, so I'll put her into the game as part of the "This_is_us team" in place of Hazzard who hasn't entered any trades yet.

Ursidae and rpaco will go into the "Hot Lips" team in place of Jenny and dss who also haven't entered any trades. Olddog/Bolddog mentioned a few days ago that he intended to start trading soon, so I'll leave him in the team and hope that the 3 of you will be very happy together. Please give me plenty of notice should I need to buy a new hat for a wedding.

If anybody has a problem with that, please say so, and I will send Jeffmack round to sort you out.

:-)

Having closed all of my positions on Friday, I'll throw caution to the wind and split my funds 30k short ARM, balance long ADN.

Hilary, no probs here as don't want a visit for sorting!

Sell 10K AL.
Sell 30K IMT
Buy 10K MRW

Thank you.

Hilary,

Jeffmack (I'll allow his late post 'cause he might not convert the file otherwise!)

Close DNK

If Oldog and calfy wish to trade this week, I'll make a special one-off concession and allow them to post up until 6pm tonight so as to try and recapture the spirit of the game and get all players competing. In the meantime, I'll update the spreadsheet and try to get an updated table to view sometime tomorrow.

I think that the game should officially end at 4:35pm on Friday 30th May unless anybody feels to the contrary.

And if GoldDog is lurking ............. ANSWER YOUR BLOODY E-MAILS AND COME BACK SOON!!

edit:

little woman

Close KCOM, short BARC.

Hilary, I presume you got my post (344)on Friday asking to sell my KCOM holding (I meant close!) and use the proceeds for more Barclays short.

Hello little woman,

Don't worry, I hadn't missed your trade. I was just testing that you were awake.

:-)

Jeroo,

What's SEL??!!??

If there is still space Hilary please put my name down to play
Thanks
D.

Croc,

Paste your trades on this thread anyway. There are currently 2 players who haven't pasted any trades. If either of them don't post by 6pm, the place is yours.

Just to remind those new players, these are GoldDog's original rules.

Golddog - 19 Feb'03 - 12:51 - 49 of 356


Trading Game Rules

1. This is a weekly Ftse shares stock picking Game.
2. Everyone begins with 50,000 of which you can invest in up to 3 separate stocks. You can invest all in just one stock or split your funds however you desire.
3. You may go long or short on a stock. You post all trades on the trading thread stating epic and how much you want to invest either long or short. GoldDog will take care of the rest.
4. If you long (l) a stock you will buy the share at the offer price and sell at the bid price based on Moneyam prices.
5. If you short a stock (s) you will buy the share at the bid price and sell at the offer price based on Moneyam prices. In other words you want the share price to drop.
6. Because this is a weekly game you must hold your investments for the entire working week before you can make new trades. At the end of Friday 4:30pm you can sell your current stocks, and/or buy new stocks.
7. You must sell the full quantity of shares in each stock.
8. If you buy more shares in a stock you already have, it will be classed as a new trade and will not be added to an existing stock.
9. All new trades must be posted on the trading thread before Sunday 12pm Noon. Any trades after this time will be ignored.
10. If a stock is suspended then your trade in this stock is also put on hold. You cannot short a stock knowing that it will be suspended or bankrupt ect as stated maybe in a news report during the weekend, this constitutes cheating!
11. GoldDog will update the new trades on Sunday evenings and you may view your new trades in your table. The Leaderboard will also be updated.
12. When GoldDog gets chance he will update tables and leaderboards during the week.
13. This initial Game will run for 8 weeks and please be aware that GoldDog can make mistakes so keep track of your own trades and transactions. And please ask any questions.
14. There is no prize just the honour of winning.
15. To make the game a little more fun there are teams with 3 players in each, so even if you do badly on your own you may be top with your team.
16. If you think there should be any other rules let me know.
17. GoldDog has the right to justify trades and make decisions on whether a trade is viable. If you think someone is cheating then let me know, usually its just a harmless mistake.

Hilary, it was a bad edit, cut and paste job - SEL should read SLF (Selfridges)

Thank you

Could I have a go?

I'm new to shares and a notional 50000 with no risk sounds good to me.

Thanks.

Hilary Thank you
BUY 10000 BBY @ 169.25 = 16925.00
BUY 1775 NXT @ 875p =15531.00
Short POC 4000 @ 435.5 =17420

Hilary

Noticed that rpaco has chosen to open a long position OYS in the trading game. Oystertec is currently an AIM listed company, and as such is not eligble to be included in this FTSE trading game as per the rules above.

Hope you had a good weekend.
