Australian Survivor!! Now - Tribal!! Final!! Congratulations to our Sole Survivor - Outpost31!!


Recommended Posts

time for the next challenge, and this is an immunity challenge Arbitrage

NOTE: i am on exams until the 16th now so this challenge will take a while and it will be mainly SELF REGULATED. i'm trusting you guys to do it but as an upshot i just have to ask you all really read the rules thoroughly here so as to self regulate

the aim of this challenge is to invest in a stock portfolio on the australian stock exchange!

here is a list of all of our stocks https://www.asx.com.au/asx/research/listedCompanies.do
and here is a list of the ASX200, which is the largest 200 stocks on the market https://www.asx200list.com

to invest you have $100,000. you invest in money value not stock value, so say you are investing in ANZ stock (ANZ.AX), you say you are investing $5,000 (for example) in ANZ.AX, rather than saying you buy x units of ANZ.AX stock.

you have to invest a minimum of $5,000 in to at least ten stocks as part of your initial investment. however, you do not need to spend all your money and can keep cash on hand if you so desire.

normal trading on the ASX occurs from 10am to 4pm on weekdays here, so that is 8PM-2AM from sunday to thursday there from memory.

every day after the first trading day, you will have a chance to sell up to four stocks and buy up to four stocks. you do not need to sell your entire holdings of a stock, and you do not need to buy a minimum amount of any stocks, on all the days after your first. all submissions for the next day must be up AT LEAST AN HOUR BEFORE trading opens on the market, that is to say, submissions for a day have to be up by 7PM EST that day (or for me 9AM)

this is how your initial submission should look; 

stock      holding

AAA.AX $5,000

BBB.AX $5,000

CCC.AX $5,000

DDD.AX $5,000

EEE.AX $5,000

FFF.AX $5,000

GGG.AX $5,000

HHH.AX $5,000

III.AX     $5,000

JJJ.AX   $5,000

KKJ.AX   $10,000

LLL.AX    $10,000

MMM.AX  $10,000

NNN.AX    $10,000

OOO.AX     $10,000

TOTAL:     $100,000

CASH:      $0

 

then after the trading shuts, before the next day. you have to post your portfolio's performance for the day;

stock   open   change  current

AAA.AX $5,000  1.00%    $5,050

BBB.AX  $5,000  1.00% $5,050

CCC.AX  $5,000  1.00%  $5,050

DDD.AX  $5,000  1.00%  $5,050

EEE.AX  $5,000  1.00%  $5,050

FFF.AX   $5,000  1.00%  $5,050

GGG.AX $5,000 1.00%  $5,050

HHH.AX  $5,000  1.00%  $5,050

III.AX    $5,000   -2.00%  $4,900

JJJ.AX  $5,000   1.00%   $5,050

KKJ.AX  $10,000  1.00%  $10,100

LLL.AX   $10,000  1.00%  $10,100

MMM.AX  $10,000  1.00%  $10,100

NNN.AX   $10,000  1.00%  $10,100

OOO.AX  $10,000   1.00%  $10,100

TOTAL  $100,000                 $100,850

CASH:  $0                                 $0

then if you want to sell or buy before the next day you must also post (remember you can do a max of four buys and four sells)

we sell our holdings of KKJ.AX, as well as $1,000 of what we have in LLL.AX. we will then buy $10,000 of QQQ.AX, and so our portfolio is;

stock  holding

AAA.AX  $5,050

BBB.AX  $5,050

CCC.AX  $5,050

DDD.AX  $5,050

EEE.AX  $5,050

FFF.AX  $5,050

HHH.AX  $5,050

GGG.AX  $5,050

III.AX     $4,900

JJJ.AX  $5,050

LLL.AX  $9,100

MMM.AX  $10,100

NNN.AX   $10,100

OOO.AX  $10,100

QQQ.AX  $10,000

TOTAL  $99,750

CASH    $1,100

TOTAL  $100,850

this is the site we are using to monitor stock movements au.finance.yahoo.com, and here is the interface;

arbitrage.jpg

the number in the brackets is the movement of your stock at the close of the market. that is the number you use for your stock movement for the day.

in the other circle, note that the stock is ANZ.AX. it has to be a stock listed on the asx, which is the meaning of .AX note under the name of the stock it also says "ASX"

DATES:

SUBMISSION IN THE THREAD OF YOUR STARTING PORTFOLIO IS TO BE DONE BY 8PM EST TUESDAY THE 9TH, CORRESPONDING TO THE TRADING DAY BEGINNING WEDNESDAY THE 10TH IN AUSTRALIA

THAT DAY THEN RUNS FROM 8PM EST TUESDAY TO 2AM EST WEDNESDAY. BETWEEN WEDNESDAY AT 2AM EST AND 6PM EST WEDNESDAY, YOU HAVE TO PUBLISH PERFORMANCE FOR YOUR PORTFOLIO FOR THE DAY AND ANY BUYS OR SELLS THAT YOU DO. THAT IS THE TRADING DAY HERE THURSDAY THE 11TH.

REPEAT PROCESS FOR THURSDAY 2AM EST TO 6PM THURSDAY EST FOR TRADING DAY FRIDAY THE 12TH, WHICH SHUTS AT FRIDAY EST 2AM.

ASX SHUTS ON WEEKENDS SO YOU HAVE UNTIL 6PM SUNDAY THE 14TH TO SUBMIT YOUR PORTFOLIO BUYS AND SELLS FOR TRADING DAY ON MONDAY 15.

PROCESS REPEATS UNTIL THE MARKET CLOSES AT 4PM AUSTRALIAN FRIDAY THE 19TH, OR FOR YOU 2AM EST FRIDAY THE 19TH. THIS MEANS YOUR SUBMISSION YOU GIVE 6PM THURSDAY THE 18TH WILL BE YOUR FINAL SUBMISSION.

i apologise that this challenge runs for a long time however i can't be here because of exams for the next two weeks so this way you guys can do something every day for the competition.

SELF REGULATION; the reason i am getting you to post in the thread every day is so the other tribe can check the yahoo finance website to "audit" your stocks if they suspect you're doing something dodgy with your numbers. this is why i'm also making the submissions two hours before the market opens on every day.

this is a very confusing challenge so if you have any questions feel free to ask obviously!!

tagging you all in
