    Nice move Hoodless Brennan

    They were OKish while I used them though most times their prices were awful! You are limited when dealing in stocks they marketmake and too often have to trade by phone by which time prices have moved. Closing my account was sheer pain! It took 7 weeks to get my certificates, (getting certs out...

    Problem with share competition 18/08

    Sharky, my WIE buy trade was executed at 41p rather than the 39p price at 9:27 when I placed it! That's over 5% above!

    Redstone Consolidation

    Sharky, Guess you are aware of the 10-1 share consolidation in RED shares happening on Monday 9th. I hold RED and want to hold in the near term. Hope you will just effect the consolidation rather than cancel the transactions like we did for MONI (which was more complicated). Thanks Burnsy

    New Marconi Shares

    Well then, think about it, 559 old shares at 1.63 cost you 911p. That gets replaced by 1 "new" share which opened at 60p! Massive loss mate, massive loss! In real life you would have got 1 warrant for every 59 shares but it would be too complicated to place a value on that for this competition...

    New Marconi Shares

    Busted, You are better of with your shares being cancelled. If they were reset at 559 old shares for 1 new share and if you paid 1p per share you would be losing about 500p for every new share... If like you say you've held them for quite a while then you probably paid more than 1p and...

    New Marconi Shares

    Sharky, With MONI's impending restructuring, will the system be reset on Monday replacing every 559 current holdings with 1 new share? The way it stands if nothing is done to the system people who have bought overpriced MONI shares will see their values sky rocketed on Monday.... Same with...

    Free ADVFN Level 2 Prize

    Hey Sharky, that's really cool! But if the winner gets free L2 surely he stands a better chance of winning again as he can make even better decisions cheaper! ADVFN might end up owing the same guy multiple 3 months free L2! Not that I'm complaining.... GAME ON!!!

    Ways to improve the comp.

    IMHO we shouldn't get to ditch losing portfolios and restart from fresh. The real world isn't like that so there's no reason why the game should. What you could have (and this might be complicated to implement) is a facility where people can "borrow" fantasy money and be charged some serious...

    Is there a problem with the quotes?

    Sharky I bought RBS first thing this morning. The opening price quoted was wrong... I don't know where the system got it's figures from but they are not right! Same with BARC... RBS hasn't been anywhere near 1400 today. According to ADVFN it opened at 1386 but ADVFN is not always very...

    Is there a problem with the quotes?

    Don't know what they've done but someone's fixed it!

    Is there a problem with the quotes?

    My RBS sell was executed 12p below the correct bid price, and my CS short was executed at the wrong prices too!

    Anyone noticed that the delayed prices seem to be stuck?

    They're not getting updated! I've reported it to Trade2Win.

    Is there a problem with the quotes?

    Within the Share Competition, the 20 min delayed quotes seem to be stuck! They are not getting updated... I don't know if other sections of the site are affected but the Competition is! Thanks
