anyone know if there is some kind of trading surcharge?

coz the current value of all my share blocks is higher than the reported purchased value, but my overall 7 DAY PROFIT/LOSS is -74.69

it may just be the purchased value is wrong or there is some slight error in their sums

Total cost £32.19

Its commission @ 1%

I just went for people I like mostly, and I've done ok, made £1181.69 in the few days I've been playing. Woohoo! Try putting in some popstars who are likely to win 2moz, Ms Dynamite, Eminem etc.

remember you have to get in before the everyone hears the news and wants them. so stay up late and listen to the late news on bbc news 24 and buy anyone in a really big story. remember the share price is dictated by demand, so the next day the price might rocket as everyone tries to get in on the action, at which point you may want to sell and cash in on the price difference, because they will fall in value quite soon as well, i just dumped zoe ball as i got in a bit late on her. you may want to hold on to them so you get as much of the weekly dividend as possible, which is worked out on the amount of newspaper coverage. try not to over-trade as the commision will whittle away you cash :o

Thanks for all the advice - Hope it pays off. I see Zoe Ball is very expensive, think I'll pass. I still have 9656.35. I'm such a cheap skite, its like buying ten shares at a time, lol. Think I'll have to splurge.

i've lost a good bit of money too now. there tends to be a horrible 'drift' downwards in shares unless there is something particular going on with a celeb. there should be more stability overall in shares i think
