do not lose heart, I am only in it for fun, and do not want to win any prizes just enjoy the challenge of finishing first, IF I am in first spot at any of the winning times I will decline the prize, so it makes second place a profitable one to be in.

remember, it is not what you get from taking part, it is the taking part itself that offers the most.

Does it matter may as well give the 3000 to pp05 now !!!!

Papal

personally dont think it is right that you dont accept any prizes you may win - however if you decide to donate to chairty i think would be a great gesture

Yes of course that is the other option and I would have no worries over doing that, but lets see if I keep in first place first, nothing is won until its won.

.

Is the leader board for real?
Have 2 people really made that kind of gain? And if so, WOW!!!
Alan

You would have thought papalpower could have just waited for the prize this month, i can't believe the gains the other two have made.

Just can't think how they did it, Jimmy. The biggest rising shares yesterday only went up about 30%, and the same for the fallers, but these two made gains well over 100% in a day!!
Alan

Was it the RTD consolidation I wonder :-)

Surely that would have been profit neutral, as the sp rose by 5x but you got 1/5 of the number of shares.
Alan

alan

should have been neutral but im guessing like kayak they have picked up a 400% rise on half of their pot

Ah. Wasn't this one of the bugs that MAM were addressing before the game started so it couldn't happen again?
Best of luck to both of them.
I'll just hope for something similar on all my fantasy holdings!
Alan

Al

if it is the case it will be corrected, but in the game i guess they bought at 22p ish and they are now at 122p and the buy price hasnt as yet been adjusted - cant see any other shares that have moved enough for them to have got there

Bet papal would like to know :-)

Thanks for the info, Fundy. I always wondered what the nodding and winking was about the previous game, now I have a clue!!
Doesn't affect me anyway, because my investments are pi55 poor.
This game is so like real life, isn't it.
Alan

What happened with RTD?? , i have seen share split s where you get say 5 for 1 ,,i remember it happened to me with Topps Tiles , but i don't think i have seen it the other way ..

Jimmy

they have recently issued some new shares hence have decided to consolidate their shares so for each 5 old ones you got 1 new hence the price went up by a factor of 5. Main reasoning being to reduce the volatility and to take it out of the "penny share" environment

You got 1 for 5, a bit like JRVS a couple of months ago. The rip off usually is that if you hold ie 18 shares, you will get 3 new shares and the 0.6 of a new share will not be issued.
Alan

Thanks Fundy ,i havn't (until now) come across that ..

I think 1st 2nd and 3rd places are wrong, it takes a while to sort out
where it went wrong for the moneyam team but i'm sure it will soon be corrected.

Keep looking for you to play your hand kayak but no sign ?

mackem, I've had a bad month. They happen :-)

I'm having trouble trying to sell shares I get to the trade ticket but when I press sell nothing happens any idea please
