Oh dear! I've plunged.

Hilary,

when you enter the trades in the game, what price do you use as a guide?

Hello Jeroo,

I use the published closing bid and offer. Unfortunately SRTS is only dealt by two jobbers, one on the bid at 4 and the other offering at 7, and I'm afraid that, only being a virtual broker, I'm unable either to place orders on the book or deal within the spread for you.

" as we enter the final few furlongs Hightone is sneaking along the rails he has his team mate within his his sights this Beast has to be produced late with a final great turn of foot as once in front he can somtimes idle"

HT.

That's some spread Jeroo.

Hilary - You are so sweet :)

8 Ball - It's a sickener - it's knocked me well of my perch. Squark. I should have checked that. Ho hum.

Jeroo, She's into discipline so I suggest you beg for forgiveness from Mistress Hilary
D.

8 Ball,

Are you being serious, or just having some fun?

Hmmm. Funny how more people have come forward now Hilary is in charge. Maybe Croc is closer to the truth than I had previously thought. (It's the pictures of those boots, Hil!)

Vasey

Mistress Hil aye, come to mention it I remember myself and Fanta commenting on an Email address of Hils.
Your secrets out Mistress Hil.

Little Woman I was serious for a change, since told it is about 54,000.

8 ball
That E.Mail address did bring certain images to mind

VAT threshold for compusory registration went up on 10 Apr 03 to 56K. You can register on a voluntary basis if you are below this. But unless you intend to reclaim huge amounts of VAT it can be more of a headache than a benefit.

Do you really want to be a tax collection on behalf of HM Customs & Excise? (Which is what you really are if you are VAT registered!)

Sorry I mean a tax collector not tax collection. Its very late and it's been a long day..............

Hello Hilary,

With regard to SRTS, I noticed from the league table on your web page that you have it down as closing at 4p when actually it's 5.5p(?). I presume if I were to sell I would get 4p but in the meantime shouldn't that be 5.5p? BTW, a rather nice 23k buy order went through this morning ;)

Unfortunately Jeffmack has been very busy today and he's only just been able to return my file with the changes from this morning. Because of the warm weather he's been serving chilled soft drinks as well as Earl and Lady Grey from his tea trolley and he's found it a bit testing to say the least. As a special bonus in recognition of his endeavours, the Chairman of his bank has promised to buy him a new pair of carpet slippers so he'll be able to walk those hallowed corridors of power with great pride.

I'm sorry Jeroo, but the Trading Game uses proper bid and offer prices. Please don't complain though ....... you're showing exceptional prowess in your stock picking even with the SRTS killer spread. The rest of us needed you to make a flakey trade in order to give us a chance to catch up. Well done!!

I can even choose the slippers myself.

Forgot to say well done to the Top Cookies who are the leading team in the game.

Those Scots Socks are bit sweaty though.

Thank you Hilary for being an exceptional disaplinarian - I feel better now ;)

Golddog - where the devil r u?

Gosh...well number one that wont last..
especially with Jero hot on my tail..

As its Easter I will be away the whole time...
no access to a PC, but would like to do the following

Sell my OOM and buy FP with the proceeds
If I am to early will try to check in on Monday to do it

How many weeks left now?

Hello Foale,

There are no problems with your trades. I'll alter the spreadsheet over the weekend. I'll alter the deadline for posting trades this weekend until 12 noon on Monday because of Easter.

I've just e-mailed Jeff an updated file. I'll update the webpage and edit this post accordingly when I get the file back.

I'm sorry but there have been some changes at the top and you're no longer number 1. I intend to run the game until the end of May so there is plenty of time to fight your way back up.

Have a good Easter everyone and don't forget to post your trades!!
