New month, new $150, right?

[jamethiel]

New month, new $150 added to what was left of your previous money. I'm going through the pages alphabetically adding stuff. I hadn't got to yours yet, but I've done it now.

BUY Y34.SI

Re: BUY Y34.SI

[jamethiel]

OK. That is recorded. What's more, we've finally got your singaporean stocks automatically updating in price. We're going of bloomberg's businessweek and importing the xml field that the price appears in. (The SGX stock exchange page is... difficult. :( )

Also, we're converting the price of your US stock to SGD on the fly. So anytime you look at it, it's converted to the daily price of the US's yesterday (because we're in the future and google is US-centric, it ignores us and bases the price on the US date and time :( oh well.)

[jamethiel]

Hey. I'm just letting you know we've done some pretty impressive things with conversions as you go and formulas lately. Do you still want your money listed in US dollars? We can convert it all to HK dollars if you like.

Let me know.
(Pssst. Also, in your form, you converted the wrong way to get from HKD to USD. It's multiplied, not divided.)

(Um. Just doing the sums a bit further and with 23.35 HKD = approx 17 USD, 10 shares of this is a bit beyond your pricerange. Let me know how you want to adjust it.)

I just got a giggle.

Looking up auto parts companies. (Can't afford any, oh well. At least I know my hubby's always going to have business.)

Note: I was looking at the NYSE Euronext market, instead of the NYSE. Apologies for any confusion and mistakes in the transaction form.

Buy: ECA

[calligrafiti]

Name: Calligrafiti
Company: EnCanaCorp
Ticker: ECA
Time: Eastern

[jamethiel]

Hah! That's awesome.

Re: Buy ALU

[jamethiel]

I'm sorry, I'm just looking at the financial data and I can't see any time that this has fallen below 2.55EUR. It's been above this level since the 7th of February.

Are you able to double check please?

Re: Buy: ECA

[jamethiel]

That's recorded.

Ignore the SumWork spreadsheet that I've copied into your spreadsheet for the moment. I'm experimenting prior to moving over to the new format. Your current data is still in Summary.

Re: Buy ALU

[allopen]

I think I saw the data wrongly. Can I still buy, at whatever price it was during that time? Thanks...

Re: Buy ALU

[jamethiel]

Awesome! 3:43pm your time is 8:45am Paris time, which is 15 minutes before the commencement of trading hours. So you get it at the last traded price on the 10/2 which is 3.158. That works out as approximately 5.48 singaporean dollars.

That's all recorded, and you've already gained $5 on the current market value!

Re: Buy: {HKG:1299}

[snowynight]

Sorry for replying so late. Life interferes. I would like the money be listed in Hong Kong dollars.

Oh.I would like to change it to 6.
