I'll give it a think, right now I'm lost for words. Try some numbers instead.
AnotherJoe joins MSE 05/01/2016......price of gold £734 per Troy ounce.
AnotherJoe still here today...........price of gold £1434 per Troy ounce..._

DIggerUk joins 26 March 2009.....price of gold £717 per Troy ounce. (Should be £645) 
Digger UK  still here today...........price of gold £1434 per Troy ounce..

Return of 100% (should be 122%) in just over 11 years 

Return of S and P 500 with dividends reinvested over that time 415%...

Oh no, you don't seem to understand the rules of this game - Digger gets to pick his own dates. You can't just pick them off the top of your head!

DiggerUK

On 26th March 2009 the average of the am and pm gold fix was £645........why the need to lie..._

Edit..Picking two more dates off the top of my head with the price now down to £1422 shows that Prism would be 46% up on the £973 when they joined on 04/11/2017, and grumiofoundation would be 27% up on their join date price of £1122 on 12/07/2019..._

Edit 2, as it stands £645 was not only the price on my MSE join date, it is also the average price of Digger Mansions pile of  gold today. How about that for cherry picked dates, couldn't make it up if I tried..._

yep thats why i mentioned them. And I've posted about it in the past, just in case that seems like bluster.

I bought well before 2016 so my cost base is well below the $93 of 2016 (which at the time was close to $700 a share before they split)

Computer says "no".

AnotherJoe

Well, the shares are listed on China stock exchange. I cant buy them there.

Theres something called an ADR which is listed in USA stock exchange, each NIO ADR = one Nio share which you CAN buy, j...... ust not, it seems, in an ISA. No idea why. BUt my cash is in ISA not the other places i "could" trade.

So, dammit it I've just bought 4 Tesla shares merely to trade them. After S&P inclusion in a month or so I will sell them and buy something else. I"m looking for 15-20%.

Just for the record then, 100 is my basis = £4,759.62

I'll post future trades here rebasing to 100
