2025 Full Year Stock Tipping Competiton

[Dona Ferentes]

In order to keep up with the times, and going cashless, our web host, Joe, is setting up a secondary market for 'likes' and the like.


Rather than clumsy cash transfers, just reward Mick with whichever suits your mood.

Sadly, Zimbabwean currency conversion rates apply.

Only Three trading days to analyse your picks in the yearly comp!
We have 18 entries so far, I can only assume that the other 8 million are still sweating over their charts and fundamentals as they make the fatal picks.

Finally able to lodge my entries for 2025 comp.

My selections are:

BRN
RAC
OCC and my newbie
SMN

I had a strong belief in my selections last year and feel so confident in them that the 3 eligible choices are in the race again.

I was not able to select IMU again this year as it was below .10 cents, however I still believe it will be at least a 3 X multiplyer this year as trials are starting to come together.

I have been sweating on whether I would be able to include SMN as, after a number of weeks not getting there, it today finally reached the trading figure of $100,000 over a 5 day period.

5 day trading was :
3/1 50,349 shares,
6/1 46,236
7/1 21,210
8/1 77,857
9/1 36,883
_________________
Total 232,535 @ .47c =$109,291

As mentioned previously, my selections are long term investments in my SMSF so may not be ideal for a number of people on this site.

The book '100 Baggers' by Christopher Meyer made me think a bit about my investment process and where and how all these large companies started. It can be a slow trip with a lot of ups and downs but I am happy with the ones I have selected.

Best wishes to everyone entering the comp.

Time to jump into the pool again. Surely the sharks have had their fill by now ?

For 2025 I am choosing

TLG FMG BRN MTM

At some stage, hopefully soon, Talga will announce off take arrangements and complete financing for their Anode project.
FMG has been absolutely bollocked this year. I believe it is undervalued and will finish 2025 at least 15-20 % higher.
BRN has been a long term hopeful in the AI industry. I think it's time is coming in 2025
MTM has a great technology for extracting metals from waste and ore in a far more cost efficient way than traditional processes. Again I think 2025 will see this technology commercially proven and a great money spinner.

All in all what could possibly go wrong ?

You could come fourth and get nothing. (ask me how I know!).

I was just trying to make my life a little easier.
Ordinarily, Once a participant has announced their picks, there would be no change.
The idea was that we get the entries in early by allowing participants to who did so to make one change.
That way i did not have to wait till the Jan 12 deadline to get some of the data entered.
You can make your picks and keep changing them yourself as long as you don't announce them.
I had hoped to keep the rules as flexible as possible to encourage as many entrants as possible to play the game.

Hi @mullokintyre,

Using the option of changing one stock selection, could I please change QOR to OPT for the 2025 full year stock tipping competition?

This would now make the four stocks selected to be the following:
LRK
OPT
ORG
SRG

Cheers, with many thanks!

I want to do better this year so trying to research now. Will be wasted tomorrow so doing now late tonight.

SPZ - car parking stock based in the UK that I wanted to pick last year but not enough volume, and is now a 3 bagger. will keep going up.
PIQ - unloved biotech with a lot of things happening next year. Might take off. Could be a 5 bagger.

A trade war set off by Trump will help mining companies as China limits trade in response so:

CHN - a few catalysts this coming year. Might be in a lot better position. (2.5 bagger according to Bell Potter)
SVM - Seems a lot is happening and price has been continuously rising which is a big plus. Flake Graphite seems an ideal thing to mine with all the future battery needs and they appear to have a very large resource. (Notice in thread that SeanK thinks Rio might take it over, they are involved)

If any of these are disallowed then EXP is my next tip (guess). Might be a takeover occurring or at least a turnaround in profit.

Changed my mind on PIQ, can I have CSL instead?

So SPZ, CSL, CHN, SVM.

Really ? Perhaps I should aim for last again ? Last year I was so good at picking the most spectacular losers...
........................................................................
And thanks again for kicking the 2025 comp off. Could we compete for last place

am not so eager to do that this year , my 4 selections are NOT on my shopping list ( but last years selections were )

but good luck at either being hero or zero ( whichever you desire )

Nah, happy for you to take that trophy without me holding you back.

Very good of you to pick up the batten, @mullokintyre

My four picks: CU6, CVN, HUB, TYR

With the rules change, I've gone for stocks that pay little or no dividends. It's all about growth. We'll see which fly and which crash and burn.

well most of my selections pay small( ish ) divs at currents prices .. but when i bought them ( in 2011 all 4 of them )

the returns aren't so pathetic ... except VAS !! ( somewhere around 7% or 8% per annum for VAS at my entry price )

now logic would say all my picks have run as far as they can , already ...... but have they

insane picks for an insane time ( is my logic )

 

[Ferret]

@divs4ever, I couldn't figure out why you picked VAS for the competition under the new rules.

A good portion of the total return for an ASX300 tracking ETF is going to be dividends. Still, my picks might all be duds and you might end up looking pretty good with VAS.

interesting you go for Clarity.

It's one of my 4 tips...
CU6 - Clarity Pharmaceuticals ..$4.17
...
......as it's now at $3.90, I was thinking of using my Get out of Jail card, and choose another stock. But which, and why?

EDIT: if @Ferret 's entry price is $3.90, then I will withdraw my entry CU6; in its place I'll nominate CU6 at today's price.
