Can't buy on NRK on IGIndex on a controlled risk account, arse, was going to buy first thing around 70p. Would have been a nice ~40 point rise lol.

Yes you can. You just have to make sure you've got enough already in your acount to cover the loss

Got the cash there, and set the stop within the limit of the money in the account.

Got this message in the activity: "Rejected: Controlled Risk openings not accepted".

Right. I think i'm going to have a play.

I also have 'normal shares' in NRK, and heard on the news this morning that Virgin are the preffered saviours.

However, a workmate says he also heard that the shares will be sold off at 25p by virgin?

Had a bet on BSS Group after their announcement today, just closed the position, up 20 points. I'll probably be annoyed later on if it continues its rise tho

Why won't it let us play on Northern Rock then

on very volatile things like NRK, they won't let you have a controlled risk punt at certain times as its very likely to gap hugely one way or the other very very quickly and so they don't have a chance to get in or out themselves.

Yup, fun and scary aren't they! LOTS of information affects FX, which you'll only get quick enough through subscription.

I enjoyed playing £/$ most, but easier to make money from shares.

Why have Rock risen? Does anybody know what Virgins offer per ordinary share was? Thought they were also low?

Nicely done

Remember you can offset any loss on Northern Rock shares against such profit, for tax purposes.

I'm only guessing you've lost on Rock, given your stance much earlier in the thread. Hope you got out early
