Investaquest fantasy shares

Post by el_pappje »

Following on from bspittles' cracking achievement, will he come on down and be the man to beat in the LSE/sunday times/investaquest comp?

Just found it in today's paper. Select 10 stocks, regional heats run from end of April thru to Sept and then top 10 in each region go forward to national final.

I have had a crack, and also tried to set up a mini-league. However it appears to want mini-league invitees to be e-mailed. If anyone else registers and tries to join a mini-league it is FISO.co.uk

If no joy then let me your e-mail address and will invite you in - 25 max according to the site.

Game on :D

I've just checked.

It looks as though it's possible to join the mini-league, but I need a password.

Do you have one?

I'll be taking a little more time over this than the average poker move (even if I had KK ;) )

i'm in - just nine of us - down under my real name though, as i'd registered last year (or was it the year before?). i usually take an interest for about four days, and then realise i don't have a chance of winning....

funny how things that one learned on an economics degree (nearly) twenty years ago can help in real life - everything is connected....

had a hunch that scolari would be offered england post, so went for newcastle as a buy, thinking that martin o'neill might then be offered the manager post - or even if he isn't, speculators might think he will be, will soon find out if this has paid off....

(most of my other starting ten are the usual bookies, etc, regular choices for a fiso member - not partygaming or whatever they're called though, they dropped a couple of % yesterday)

Now there are ten!

Thought I'd be bottom having lost over £650 already, but in fact only three of us are in profit.

I'm never entirely sure how they work out the value's in this game.

One of my stocks is up 20.62% and showing a profit of £875.75p
Another is down 3.06% and showing a loss of £84.48
A third is showing no move, but a loss of £833 :?

They also seem to charge a huge commission on initial trades, even allowing for Buy and Sell values.

I guess it's the same for everyone.

Currently 41st in my region ( South West)
Only 141 days to go. :lol:
