Phoenix's Football Sharemarket Game

Featured Replies

Posted

An old ology foe Phoenix ran this Sharemarket game. Was good. He was loud and smart...when he had funds. Haven't heard much from him since Morton plunged from $8 to 8c. Last seen selling at 22c after the dead-cat-bounce when the Eagles got him at pick 88.

Buying -

Nik Nat

Cam Guthrie

Collingwood (bought them super cheap after round 1)

Jack Watts (because MFC supporters are giving him away, and I hope he has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome now)

Brodie Grundy (bought these a while ago)

Jack Viney (price is still cheap because many here think he can't kick);

McEvoy

Matthew Lloyd

Selling -

Richmond (I sold them after our NAB Challenge game)

Liam Sheils (I will take what you offer), Phoenix, you can still play with $8.64

Bomb Thompson (I sold him a few weeks ago),

Luke Breust (good goal assists, but soft and overrated),

North Melbourne (still too hot/cold),

Neville Jetta (sold after his first game of AFL footy, and now selling the gains over the past week);

Bernie Vince (stats sheet looks better than his output)

Dermott

Biggest losses over the preseason

Port - I sold them too cheaply

Freo - I bought too much

 

I'd be buying Aiden Riley - a nice little speculative share that should be quite cheap at this stage.

I'll buy:
Sydney - surely due to bounce back in the 8 and push for the 4

Jordie McKenzie - still have hope he can contribute and must be cheap

Kurt Tippett - the other of Sydney's million dollar forwards to give us something

Mitch Clisby - rate this guy and he's due a chance

Tom Lynch's (Gold Coast and Adelaide) - buying a package deal

Jake Carlisle - this guy can play. Might have to wait for Bomber to go to collect my return but I think it will come eventually

I'll sell

Nick Riewoldt - surely he's at his max value

Ross Lyon - I'm a bit worried about where Freo are heading. If they don't get it done this year when will they? And do coaches get 3rd chances without a flag?

I'm holding

Dom Tyson - think his shares will dive down a bit as the year progresses but still like him long term

Jesse Hogan - got to have faith

 

Back in 1974 or 75 a client of mine got a so called "red hot tip" that a takeover bid for the Phillip Morris company was imminent. He borrowed heaps of money (mortgaged his house) and invested it in the shares and I spent the next 12 months keeping an eye on the price in the afternoon Herald. He sold the shares 12 months after the borrowing and made a small loss. He incurred interest payments, legal and government fees etc. in the process which ensured he made close on a 30% loss all up on an investment of $30k which was a lot of money. I remember it to this day and am not a player in share markets or other forms of gambling etc. (that don't rely on my own skills) But geez, I wish I would have gotten onto Christian Salem for the rising star last week.

Shame WJ. You could've made a killing in the 80's.

Don't like Salem's chances of the rising star. It does look an even crop of midfielders led by Dunstan, Crouch, Kelly and Aish. But I think they have a fitness and readiness edge over Salem not to mention the edge in games.

I think the value remains Brodie Grundy at $17. When the selectors sit down at the end of the year they'll have to decide not who just played good games but who actually had influence and I think they'll settle on Grundy having achieved more holding up the ruck in a good side than midfielders not having spectacular seasons.

TGR thanks for " cfs " explanation, silly me , I'd just thought it was a private scool symtom !

I haven't checked out my share portfolio for some time. I'm guessing there's little currency left in my Clay Sampson, Trent Ormond-Allen and Brent Grgic shares?

I'll buy your Jetta shares.

I'll buy your Jetta shares.

They went up after the game obviously. Good call if it was before the best game of his career. You can still have them, but the price is cheap now, not dirt-cheap like last week.

Fair call, I would have bought them before the game too for what it's worth.

What did you pay for Nik Nat?

I'll take all the Vince shares available, if you can't see his worth then I'll get them cheap and make a packet.

Never bought any Nic Nat shares but if I can get my hands on some I'll parcel them up with the London Bridge and do a special deal for you.


I sold my Brendan McCartney and Damien Hardwick shares a couple of years ago, Melbourne should look to get wins against their clubs in the next two weeks.

I lost out marginally with McCartney but it was Melbourne's game to lose last week so overall I'm happy with my decisions.

Did anyone buy any Cam Pedersen before the GWS game?

No, I sold all of Neeld's 2nd hand bargains (Gillies, Rodan, Byrnes, Pedo etc..) before they arrived.

I sold Tony Abbott ages ago too. Making a fair-dinkum killing. I really feel sorry for Ray Hadley not wanting to get out of bed in the morning.

Why do I keep reading this wankfest?

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
