seems to be a glitch as it wont recognise cap as a company, even full company name.

bosley,

I will get the tech guys to take a look.

month 2:
who is in front between a and b
month 1: a -50%
month 2: a -10%

month 1:b +10%
month 2:b +30%

If you mean

month 1: a 50,000
month 2: a 90,000

month 1:b 110,000
month 2:b 130,000

Then obviously a, since 90/50 is a greater percentage increase than 130/110.

because the rules say the one who makes the most percentage, i think

is that how it works?
if so i might have a chance

It's how it works, although b would have a better chance for the final 3,000 prize of course...

ok

hmmmm, skandia may have been a mistake

Can anyone tell me which CFD company offers trading on AIM companies. If not the FTSE 350. Much appreciated

xmortal try Barclays ..

Jimmy b

I know they are v good but could not find if they do CFD on AIM companies. Do they trade on AIM?

Yes definately, you have to cover 20 or 25 % of your position as opposed to 10 %

coolio. thanks Jim.

I enrolled in the champion investor, however I am confused as to closing a short. Do I buy the share and then will it closed itself or do I have to buy it and then sell it again. Please explain

xmortal,

All you have to do is buy back the equivilant number of Shares - this will close the short for you,

Ian

Hi Ian,

I had few longs and when I sold them they revert back to sell, and viceversa. They are still showing in my account as that. Should they dissapear once the position is closed and money shown as credit?? plse explain. ta

xmortal,

If youhave a long and then sell out it will clear from your current holdings but will show in the summary as a seperate transaction of a sell. Any profit or loss will then be taken into account and the balance will be adjusted accordingly, taking into account any remaining positions and liabilities.

Ian

Ian. Sorry to bother again. It seems to have worked for some of my stocks, eg RPT, however, I had ISYS as long, then sold it and now apppears in the open position table as short. Same with LUP, had it as short, bought it to close it and now it is in the open position table as long. I thought the open position table should clear those stocks once they have been closed? all confusing!!

Would be grateful if you could look into it plse (post 88)
