market_rouletteNote: I'm going to have very minimal internet at home for about three days to a week. If you have any problems, email the mod account and one of us will get back to you.
This is the Monday post for the week of April 25 through May 1, 2011.
Reminders
1.) April transaction fees are $4 for an automatic transaction and $7 for a real time transaction.
2.) You can buy and sell ETFs and Mutual Funds.
3.) We're in the process of updating spreadsheets. If you have problems, email one of us to check on it.
4.) When you are buying, please list the stock you are buying IN ITS ORIGINAL CURRENCY, not your own home currency. PUT ONLY NUMBERS IN THOSE BOXES. Use the boxes to declare currency for declaring currency. With only numbers, I can automate the math easier.
Transaction Log
We're still using the original, though I've shortened it to one page.
Transaction Log
Transaction Format
Remember to note if you already logged in the transaction log or not. Do not update your own transaction log in your personal spreadsheet. Put your transactions here or in teh main spreadsheet.

Markets
Also will now be listed on every Monday post:
Eligible Exchanges:
1.) NYSE, any version.
2.) Euronext, any version
3.) ASX - Australian Stock Exchange
4.) LSE - London Stock Exchange
5.) TSE - Tokyo Stock Exchange
6.) Hong Kong Stock Exchange
7.) Shanghai Stock Exchange
8.) Toronto Stock Exchange
9.) Deutsche Börse
10.) NASDAQ
11.) Any stock listed in your local market.
These are the exchanges anyone can buy from. As well as these, you can buy from any that are your local markets.
New Things
You are free to buy from any stock exchange in the world starting March 1st; everyone is now familiar with how this works, so I'm letting you run wild. There's a list in everyone's spreadsheet that I'll be updating as I add more. Some aren't normally accessible to westerners, some aren't accessible period, but many are, and Market Roulette is God's Stockbroker; we can get you anything.
Staring July 1st, if you buy from a market that is not one of the above or your local market, an international fee will be assessed at a rate of an additional USD$5.00 per transaction. That'll be out halfway point and when the community as a whole will be asked, encouraged, and required to input on what they like, don't like, and what they want changed.
New Markets
Full list of stock exchanges of the world, sort of.
List of African Stock Exchanges - some of these for reasons beyond my understanding were removed from the main list.
List of Mideast Stock Exchanges - same thing as above.
List of East Asian Stock Exchanges
List of South Asian Stock Exchanges
List of European Stock Exchanges
List of American Stock Exchanges - this includes Central and South America and the Caribbean nations.
List of Market Opening Times
More on Markets
I'm encouraging everyone to go look at the African markets, especially Nigeria and South Africa, and poke around the Middle East as well as the smaller emerging markets in the South Asia and consider the Caribbean and island nations. Get familiar with their companies and their interests. If you want to buy from them, send me the website so I can create a script for you to use for updating.
This is especially important with South Africa trying to build a Pan-African exchange, which could and will be a strong rival for the western markets. Australia's negotiation with Singapore is still in negotiations, but there are some interesting economic things happening in the Middle East now, especially with the revolution in Egypt and the continuing protests going on in Yemen, Syria, Libya, and Pakistan, and with Tunisia's new government.
These things aren't just political; Tunisia's revolution was based on the state of the economy and the lack of jobs as much as anything else. The economic will almost always give the best forecast of the political, so familiarity with the markets, the prices, what's doing well, will tell you not only the health of the country's economy, but the feel of the people.
It can't tell anyone everything; RL is far more complex. But it can and does give a glimpse of what's going on and where and how. When you buy and sell, note countries with dictatorships, US-backed or no, countries with constitutional or popular monarchies, and casually check poverty levels and colonial history if you have a chance; there is high correlation. Democracy is a catch phrase that covers a lot of sins; what you look for are governments that are sensitive and responsive to the will of the people.
Dividends
I finished the script to pull dividend information from Businessweek and Yahoo. It will be added to the new spreadsheets.
Important Dates
July 1 - international fees will be assessed when buying outside the top ten or your local markets. More on this later.

Date: 2011-04-25 08:45 am (UTC)...wow, that's a long sentence. Basically, rather than buying at random just to have it done with, I'd rather not buy this month, and actually spend a little time working out what I'm doing in May (after the 9th, which will be after my exam and when I have more time).

Date: 2011-05-02 06:17 am (UTC)Also the time I put for the transaction may not be exactly correct - I'm using yahoo and its always a bit behind then suddenly jumps - I was filling in the log form and clicked back to the yahoo window to get the time and it had jumped forward a lot, so I put what I think I remember it said when I started filling the log in...I would only be out by a couple of mins if anything, but I didn't want to go with the updated time as the price had also gone up!!

Date: 2011-05-02 06:40 am (UTC)Yahoo is freaky with time. No worries.
If you get a chance one night and you're online, I'd love your help to test the dividend script. I've been using a copy of your spreadsheet for testing, but I want to make sure it runs for someone besides me.
Anyway,
