Pretty good number of entrants for a mid week EOM.

The usual suspects among the aristocrats. Some of these entrants need to have extra weight in their saddle bags to make it fairer for the rest of us.

Shades of yesterday.

Last month I re picked MTM after its run during May. Started June at 71.5 - and promptly dropped like stone . I was tussling with Dora for the Featherduster Award.

Then... a spirited jump until i was within spitting distance of a place on the last day. Alas It dropped like a stone again and finished exactly where it started. 71.5c

Now in August MTM has jumped the pack and is currently around 10% up on the day !! Would be leading the field on Day 1 . Perhaps a reverse of July's antics.?

It would appear that @Dora Kent has missed the August Competition.
Pity, new blood and faces are always good.

LOL .... I mentioned a similar problem yesterday with my pick. Stellar rise just at the end of month but down 7% today.

I am not phased .... a further 40-50% spike before the EOM (either up or down, lol) would not surprise ... and I will again be a genius! (for a day or 2!)

I feel this month will be one of the following;

Tant pis
Puissant
Pissant

I'm aiming for the middle.

Good morning @Joe Blow, the entry price for BML appeared a little odd compared to surrounding entries (no decimal point) so I decided to investigate a bit further with TradingView. Sure enough, there is a discrepancy. BML opened trade at 9:59am at $0.16 with just over 40k shares traded within that first minute, as shown below. Would you please be so kind to adjust the opening price within the records? Thank you!

 

[Dona Ferentes]

$0.165 ?

The entry price is the closing price on the last trading day of the previous month. According to TradingView the BML closing price on 31 July was $0.165, making this price the entry price for the August competition. Does this accord with your information?

There does seem to be a missing decimal point in the screenshot in the first post but this has since been corrected.
