Fantasy PH Share League 2014

[kiethton]

Following on from the fun of the December fantasy share game is the 2014 fantasy league, thought it'd be a good idea to see who can win/loose the most play money over the course of the year, playing against other PH'rs.

Rules and the site are the same, with only the time limit extended to 31 December 2014.

To play you will need to sign up to http://www.lse.co.uk (free and quick and easy).

Then direct yourself over to http://game.lse.co.uk/join-game.asp

Gamename: PH Share Game 2014
Password: whotippedgkp

As before starting cash is £10k
Stamp duty will be charged on each buy for a bit of realism
Commission is £5 per trade (again for realism)

So what are you waiting for - get cracking and join in, the more the merrier. Winner is the PH'r with the most in his/her account at the sound of the bell at the end of the year. We toyed with limiting holdings to a set pecentage of capital, however this isn't possible as a rule on the game and the gamblers will be shown up over the year.

You are encouraged to shout about your gains and cry over your losses here too.

Good luck!

No worries

The longer time limit should weed out a few of the gamblers...should be good fun, determined to do better this time! haha

Is there a way of placing a trade at best whilst the market is closed - so waiting for doors open? Maybe with a limit?
I couldn't manage it on the xmas game but another game I play will allow it?
Thanks

If you go to share trading, put the EPIC in then do at limit/at best trade then select valid for 3 days, i think that should work?

^^^^
This


I'm already trailing, £130 down in 5 mins! seems like a repeat of last time! hahaha

My plan.
£1k in 10 stocks. Based on the worst performing AIM 50 shares on the day.

Interesting, would you check them first to ensure that there wasn't a reason for the fall?

[kiethton]

and down I go...... -20 places today (so far...)

how do i find a list of companies? all i can find is a search and any companies i look for arent found. is it just uk companies?

Search for a company when you click the 'buy' option, just UK companies on the game unfortunately.

Big day for me and its going well, sold my flagging NMG shares at a loss this morning and got more in SULA, it's since risen 25% (and 36% on the previously bought stock) today helping me up 6 places and to £250 off breakeven!!!

Just need BMN to do its thing now....

Anybody else changed their portfolio around?

[kiethton]

Anybody holding SOLG - up 25% in the past 30 mins!

It's not a boring stock that's for sure.

Good day for MARL too.

Indeed, needed that one!!! (for real)....just waiting on BMN to sort itself out for the sake of this game....and will consider putting some SULA funds (if i sell prior to any announcement) back into BMN

[kiethton]

And despite the best efforts of BMN (£540 down) I've had a corker of a day - knocking on the door of the top 10 and up 18 places, whoop!

[kiethton]

2 weeks in and its all shaping up well, with almost everybody in a £2k spread either side of the £10k starting point....

Lets see what the rest of the year brings

(MiniMe what happened!?!?! - atleast you've got some time to recover!)

Bloody hell Keith, you been having extra shredded wheat for breakfast or something?

I wish - dieting

Just got 100k shares in SULA on monday which have doubled since - sliced this morning and put the profits into ALO which I reckon will do the same next week....

In them both for real so here's hoping!

[kiethton]

B17NNS said:

Excellent. What's your intel on ALO?

There was a board resolution made last week, and an Investor presentation schedules for this time next week - I reckon its a resource upgrade - Just grabbed another 75k shares to add to the 50k i got on friday.

I plan to do as I am with SULA - ride the gravy train (I de-risked there earlier to give a near 2p average and will hopefully be out this evening in the run to close - anything over 7p welcome but think there is legs far beyond that this afternoon in the run to the bell - could even touch 8p!)

[kiethton]

moved a small chunk into NOVA to try and ride the back of todays 200% rise

Edited by QROPS on Wednesday 22 January 16:33

Just as well it's not real then!

Made a bit of an error, forgot to exit SULA until this morning! then put the cash in as a top-up to SML....at todays peak.....double oops!

Down 8 places in 2 days lol

Finally a good day in the markets. Was getting a bit brutal out there.

Indeed, harsh 2 weeks! Went from over half up to most well, well down!

Hopefully I'll get back to B/E soon!

B17NNS said:

Taking a risk with a big QPP trade. Loads of press over the weekend.

`
That could have legs - for this year....

I'm currently letting mine roll in BMN, ALO & SML....

We'll see!

[kiethton]

B17NNS said:

Shouldn't have dipped out of QPP

only got them last week didn't you? - still a nice little earner, even if it was only 12% or so...

Well mine continue to sink further....
