Phoenix's Football Sharemarket Game

[TGR 1,367]

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

[nutbean 8,838]

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

[DeeSpencer 25,498]

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.

Anyone want some shares in Sam Blease?

Free to a good home, and I'll throw in my Air Jurrah t-shirt as a bonus, sure to be a collector's item one day.

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 !

[Goodvibes 3,596]

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.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

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.

[TGR 1,367]

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?

[Dee Fan 3,247]

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.

[poita 3,898]

Did anyone buy any Cam Pedersen before the GWS game?

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

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.

[TGR 1,367]

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.

[TGR 1,367]

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.
