Note: This is late and I apologize; for some reason, work was randomly blocking sites or not connecting to them.
This is the Monday post for the week of January 24 through January 30, 2011.
Reminders
1.) January is still no-transaction fee month.
There is no fee for buying or selling. Go nuts!
2.) February will be a no-transaction fee except for selling month. Selling fees are the same as real-time fees.
3.) March will see the introduction of the ETF and mutual fund.
Transaction Format
We'll probably just keep posting this in every Monday post for easy reference.
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.
Transaction Alpha Test
Once again, here is the link to the transaction form. If people could please use it? and for this week, it'd be great if you'd mention in your comment whether you've used it as well.

Buy: ATP.AX

Price: $0.10

Country: Australia
Hey :) The two companies I was looking at earlier in the month have not done what I wanted price wise and I haven't had time to do much in the way of research to find others I like (we had a death in the family and things have been a bit crazy) and now I am running out of January! So I saw a few people think this one is worth buying, and had a quick look at their website - they look good, I like that they are helping the environment and the locals! So I'm just jumping on the band wagon so I dont have to worry about this any more this month, I'll get back into things properly next month :)

Date: 2011-01-26 07:09 am (UTC)2. I just now filled in the transaction form in case that was a better way to get it done than commenting here - I thought I remembered being gmt-8, but I just checked and I am gmt+10 oops! Sorry, think I got the rest of the form right though.
3. I know earlier in game play you put up how much we had to spend in our currency, but I can't find where it was :( I think AU it was $151.??? but couldn't remember exactly, so if my buy needs to be altered slightly to fit the amount of money I have left to spend then please do so :)
4. Do you prefer the form or the comment in here for transactions or are we supposed to do both each time?
thanks :)

Date: 2011-01-26 10:57 am (UTC)It doesn't really matter about the time.
You chose monthly conversions in the poll. That means you take your conversion rates from this poll. (The monthly conversion figures. $150 US= $167.16 AUD for January)
I'm... supposed to check the form every day? But I don't get email notifications of that and I do of comments here, so just a comment saying "Bought shares, in the form" would be great.

Date: 2011-01-27 04:49 am (UTC)hey with the ATP.AX I can see it has very low volume, no-one has bought any at all since noon on the 25th and it looks like thats a fairly normal state for them, not to have much buying or selling going on. Does that mean maybe its not the best thing for me to have bought as with low volume then there's not going to be much demand to push the price up? Am I understanding that right??

Date: 2011-01-27 05:11 am (UTC)As an investment? Consider GrainCorp, because they've taken a hit at the moment due to floods but I think they're going to rise (GNC.AX). ComputerShare (CPU.AX) are another stock to consider but I believe they're falling at the moment and haven't hit rock bottom yet, so I'll be waiting for them to do that.
I'm keeping an eye on Riversdale Mining (RIV.AX), but won't be investing unless they fall substantially. I wish I'd invested five months ago :S
Beyond that, I've "invested" in the reject shop. They revised their profit projections which caused the stock to take a BIG tumble, but it'd been climbing pretty steadily and I believe it can recover, given time.
TL;DR, right? I'd be happy to verse ATP.AX for you if you want.

Re: Buy: SKYD

Date: 2011-01-27 04:53 am (UTC)(Which is to say, I would have given you a nudge about it once I got round to processing it. But it's all recorded now and it's an automatically updating one, so if you look at your sheet, you'll be able to see up-to-date-within-15-minutes figures of how much you've gained or lost!)

Re: Buy:IDG-T

Depending on which you choose, you probably have a little bit more money left than is currently showing in your spreadsheet.
