market_rouletteETA: All new transactions should be recorded in the new Monday post for this week.
So we'll do this in order:
Individual Page
You should have received an email from googledocs with a link to your individual spreadsheet. ETA: Changing this: email market.roulette when you see this. Some of the email I have are bouncing anyway, so might as well start over. Email with your email address in the body.
Model Spreadsheet
This is what it will look like. Please see the tabs at the bottom:
At some point this month, I'll add a data sheet that will be locked for me to record your data on so you can compare. And I may add other pages; it's very convenient.
Individual Page - Usage
First, formatting:
1.) Go to File -> Spreadsheet Settings.
2.) Change your locale and timezones.
3.) Email me when you've done this so I can adjust some of the formulas.
Then, individualizing.
1.) Enter your individual information on row five.
2.) Recolor the entire thing however you want. Just don't move or rename anything without checking in with me.
Now, explanation:
Summary is your records. You enter your transactions at the bottom under Transactions. I'll add the macros for it to be fed to the top portion when you've made your first buy.
Converter is a quick and dirty currency and stock price converter. This page and DataSheetRO will pretty much be under constant fixing and tweaking, as google functions are sometimes like Excel and sometimes not so much.
DataSheetRO is where all the raw data is stored.
StockList - if you don't have it, just wait. I'm working with google for copying sheets to other workbooks. It's a copy for you to edit of all the stocks available, if you want to make notes, etc. There's a google function that gives quotes as of 20 minutes ago--this is using that.
And that about covers it.
Monday Post
This is the first Monday post of gameplay.
1.) If you buy, sell, or do any stock transactions, post a comment here.
Use the same format for sells.
2.) International Players - January Monthly Conversion Amount
ETA: All of this with data tables can be found here, along with the Daily Conversion and the Hourly Conversion amounts. Hourly is in yellow.
Verification: Historical Rates
3.) International Players - Other Conversions
All amounts are shown here. And I do not know what google is doing with the dirham's symbol, but seriously, it needs to stop now.
And that's it. Questions, remarks, problems, please leave a comment and put in the subject line Question, Remark, Problem, etc for sorting purposes.
Happy playing!
ETA:
All new transactions should be recorded in the new Monday post here. Do not record any further transactions in this post.

Model Spreadsheet
This is what it will look like. Please see the tabs at the bottom:
Summary - that's the first page and where you will record your data. Instructions are in red.
Converter - do not change anything here. This has a currency and stock converter. Instructions are also written to use them.
DataSheetRO - do not change anything here. That page holds the data to make the converter work. You'll be replacing this page regularly for updated data. It'll be easy to do. It also has the current stock list, which is why this page will undergo regular updating and replacing.
At some point this month, I'll add a data sheet that will be locked for me to record your data on so you can compare. And I may add other pages; it's very convenient.

Re: Buy: 531370/AFX
Date: 2011-01-06 12:47 pm (UTC)eh, it's Carl Zeiss Meditec AG. so sorry.
Re: Buy: 531370/AFX
Date: 2011-01-06 12:55 pm (UTC)From this page, it looks like their ticker is AFXG.DE. The price looks about right, and it shows up in google finance, which means we can track it.
I'll record the translation and also try to put them in the spreadsheet. Would you mind putting a little information about what they do, etc, in there?
Re: Buy: 531370/AFX
Date: 2011-01-06 01:17 pm (UTC)I'll put up the info, no problem, just - you mean the spreadsheet for the Stock List, right? Or do you mean somewhere else? (They do medical equipment, especially optical tech for all kinds of surgery tools, microscopes, things like that? :))
Buy: NS2B
Date: 2011-01-06 02:05 pm (UTC)Company: NET SERVICOS PFD
Ticker: NS2B
Time: 15:01
Price: 10,29€

Country: Germany
(So I spent the last hour or so doing research and I read a lot about this being a good investment - it's Brazilian though, so I hope it's still ok to buy this? I'm just trying stuff out :D Hope that's okay!)
Re: Buy: NS2B

NS2B.BE BER
Which exchange are you using? You're eligible for all of these, btw, so it won't make any diff but in accuracy. Do me a favor; when you record from any of your markets, put in the exchange you got it on? There are seven or eight in Germany plus Xetra (that's the .DE one on the GER exchange).
Re: Buy: NS2B
Date: 2011-01-06 10:23 pm (UTC)NS2B.DE GER
NS2B.F FRA
NS2B.BE BER
Default to the .BE on any German stock with one of those. If I can be on tonight, I'll go over how to figure out if a stock needs a suffix.

Date: 2011-01-06 10:37 pm (UTC)I'll update the sheet! :)
Re: Buy: NS2B
Date: 2011-01-06 10:53 pm (UTC)And then there's this which says there was never any time where it was 10.29 as I recorded it that time (but why would I have recorded it like that if it didn't exist? :D)
Maybe I should take this one back too and stick to some safe choice *dies* I am so sorry about this! (I really thought this would be a good choice, it's like one of the most popular TV cable and internet broadband providers in Brazil. Hmmmm...)
Very confusing.

Re: Buy: NS2B
Date: 2011-01-07 06:34 pm (UTC)Frankfurt is .F. Link me to the page you got it from? I'll run it down from there to match. You have seven exchanges in Germany. Trust me when I say, we can get this one for you. *g*
Re: Buy: NS2B
Date: 2011-01-07 07:17 pm (UTC)I'll definitely let you know more specifically in the future which one I picked. I'm fairly certain I picked the Frankfurt one from here since the Xetra one hasn't been updated since September? :D (I can totally adjust my buying price to the one they have listed for yesterday, I really have no idea how I got the 10.29 when it says it was 10.36 all day yesterday...)

Date: 2011-01-08 12:29 pm (UTC)Just a reminder that this transaction and the next transaction have to fit into your monthly account limit of $150 US/ $1166.16 Hong Kong. If you wouldn't mind looking at the three account transactions you have and working out what you can fit in your monthly allowance.
Re: Subject Line: "Buy: REDF"

(sorry there is a bit of a delay on the time - I'm at work and I was half way through filling this in and had to go and serve a customer, by the time I got back half an hour later the price had gone up a cent :( is it still okay to put it through at the price I started to buy at?)
