I must be the first real idiot to play - just sold TEN times as many ANTO shares as I meant to, and they've gone the wrong way! Thank goodness I've never done it for real.

Dont get why you have to make 2 long trades to validate the account?

IanT(MoneyAM) - 21 Apr 2005 10:53 - 10 of 550

Yantra,

It is basically to stop people just sitting there with their 100,000 in tact.

Probably not a huge sample size so far, but interesting that statistically the younger you are the more you've already lost as a percentage!

1 56-65 98,828.32 -1.17%
2 46-55 98,530.85 -1.47%
3 36-45 97,489.88 -2.51%
4 < 25 94,045.84 -5.95%

Says something about risk aversion probably! :-)

Iain,

But why cant I have 2 shorts?

IanT(MoneyAM) - 21 Apr 2005 10:57 - 13 of 550

Yantraman - basically this is just the way we have devised it - once you have validated you can go as long or as short as possible,

Has the whole thing reset itself now? Damn, and I'd just reached a million ;-)

IanT(MoneyAM) - 21 Apr 2005 11:41 - 15 of 550

Kyoto,

There was a problem with the data from the LSE which was causing problems on some accounts - we have had to reset the accounts back to 100,000 sop please accept my apologeis for this.

You will need to validate your accounts again and start off with your 2 opening long trades to validate the account.

Does that mean I've just lost 900,000? :-)

IanT(MoneyAM) - 21 Apr 2005 11:44 - 17 of 550

Kyoto :) I am sure you will be able to make it back,

Ian

That's what they always tell me ;-(

Ever thought of becoming a market maker? :-)

Ruth - 21 Apr 2005 11:56 - 19 of 550

Well ive just gone for shit or bust:-)
suppose someone with some insider info on a tiddler stock will win,:-)
why not split into categories, ie ftse 350 and a seperate one for smallcaps

Dil - 21 Apr 2005 12:05 - 20 of 550

Like if someone buys 50K of MPM ?

:-)

Ruth - 21 Apr 2005 12:07 - 21 of 550

Dil:-)

Kyoto - 21 Apr 2005 12:08 - 22 of 550

That's a good idea Ruth - this is the problem with these competitions. It sends out a very dodgy message to inexperienced investors who read results in the media, and think that the secret to success is stuffing 100K into some dodgy hyped-up shell company because it trebled in 3 months.

Dil - 21 Apr 2005 12:09 - 23 of 550

You got them too or something else ?

And before anyone asks ... I have no insider info and thats the story I'm sticking too :-)

Ruth - 21 Apr 2005 12:13 - 24 of 550

Koyto thats why they have set up the competition to get new dumb money into this market.

:-)

but i would not realy think this myself.

Ruth - 21 Apr 2005 12:14 - 25 of 550

as you can see, there were no swear words in that last post, so it wasnt from me:-)

Shogun is sat with me on the other computer which is logged in under my name , and as ever hes the cynical one:-)

shogun - 21 Apr 2005 12:16 - 26 of 550

its got nothing to do with me.
