mommentum, you looked in the wrong moment, i just updated the prices on the site to get the starting prices of today's close as the competition starting prices, i made a bit of a mistake as i needed to update both starting and latest price and had a bit of an issue, this resulted in those huge differences, you will see it is back to 0% on all shares today, tomorrow at 17:00 or just after it will indicate the first day's move. I will have to run some tests tomorrow as well to confirm that its 100% stable and acurate, but i am sure it will be all in order.

Geez, in a good or bad way? I really like the little Montblanc Mozart, the one i have came in a very special box with a collection of Mozart's best work, this also adds to the prize... if this one is chosen... lol

it is past the deadline, but maybe we can make an exception, what would your picks be? we would have to use the starting price of the 15th though, and if you select shares that really moved well today people might suggest you rigging the picks, but if the shares had a negative day, i think it would not cause concerns?

I think this would be the last day in any case, we cannot allow this to happen tomorrow and in the future though.

OK, its all cool with Simon, i think if there is one or two guys that was away and would like to join, its possible, but i will check to dis-allow anyone who selects shares that moved strongly since our starting day, as this would give them the advantage of hindsight. anyone against this idea, it would only be like this for this for 2 or 3 days, after that its closed...
