Put your mouse over the competition button on the top and select the competition you are looking to enter and you will go to the main competition page. For the Dow competition you will be asked for your prediction on the page. For the share competition there is a link in red that says something...

The company changed name and ticker symbol. This meant the share is now valued at zero and three people in the competition have cleaned up with a 100% gain. Now called Oakgate, OKG.

Damn, caught in the act. Worth a try though, who would believe that a share would consolidate its shares from 0.04p to 4p?

"Catch Me If You Can !" OK!! LOL

The problem appears to be that when you trade the amount of the spread is taken off your total value and any profit you make is snowballed into the portfolio value. Hence why no one can make a profit on the trading, they have effectively been deducted the spread but not given any profit on the...

Bullish Bear, I heard it was an earthquake not a meteor that was due on Friday. Could be both. But I think both would probably put a halt to trading on Friday to prevent such a dramatic fall.

I thought the signal was a sneeze? A cough means OK and a sneeze or blowing your nose means, No. Better get this sorted out before the next time. Pity we missed out on PPB last week with the system being down. Could have topped half a billion if we were all in on both in two days. That would...

Andy we have been rumbled. LOL.

Damn it, thought I would get away with that. Can't blame a guy for trying. Given my recent form, I need all the help I can get. LOL.

Easiest way out would be to put trades through on Monday morning. I would go for that for trading out of Pearson.

I would go for that, as long as the limit of only having five stocks was raised to ten. Although I think Agincourt has more than five in his portfolio, or at least did have at one point. Did I miss the change on this already, or has Agincourt discovered a bug in the system? All bought within a...

What about us wrong minded individuals that have been brainwashed to think a share valued at less than 10p is more likely to double than one valued at £1? LOL.

I think you have to allow for the possibility of ditching portfolios. If not, what would you do when you short a penny share, then it doubles, leaving you with less than £0. Don't say it won't happen, because it did a few competitions ago. People will lose interest, if they don't think they...

I would go for a longer competition, as well. I would suggest a financial quarter though, makes more sense and gives plenty of time to reinvest money or claw your way back from the brink to win the competition. I would suggest an option each weekend or monthly to chuck your portfolio and start...

Am I right in thinking that your have to correctly guess the direction of the market, ie Up, Same or Down, in order to get any points? If this is the case, given the entries this week, I can see there being some entrants complaining. To solve this, I would suggest awarding points for correctly...
