We're still not even a third of the way into the month. There's really not much difference between -5% and +5% at this stage, and most of them aren't all that far below 0.

Heck, look at last month, the winner was coming last on a massive negative until right before the end of the month. I had a commanding lead near the end of the month but was overtaken by multiple people and didn't even place.

I wouldn't read anything at all into the four being in the green at this stage, I don't think they have any huge advantage over the majority of others. If we were in the final week, yeah, the guy in front would be the favourite but you wouldn't be getting too excited. The difference between them is still pretty small.

Pretty interesting competition this month, I sort of want to see the winner in the red. Not that I wish losses on any of the competitors, I think think it would be surreal to see a #1 winner in the red. A bit sad the thread was closed before I got my entry in, it would have been fun taking part in such a heavy handicap race. I personally believe that excluding me from the competition is the reason things have gone so badly - karma has struck, and I hope a valuable lesson has been learned.

three public holidays this month that makes it shorter than February ( this year ) maybe the finish line is closer than it looks

Not at all. Unless the public holidays are at the end of the month, they don't make any difference.

The global market still do whatever they do. For example if gold crashes or skyrockets, or if there's an earthquakeand there's a public holiday that day, sure, the price won't change, but the world didn't stop, and when it reopens after the public holiday the price just catches up. It's not like the company would be isolated from anything which happened if the shares couldn't be traded for a day, week, month or year. There is still that much progress happening, we just don't get a reflection in the price on those specific days, but at the end of the month a full month has progressed and the final price is essentially the same. If a weekend or public holidays occur at the end of the month it does shorten the month in a way relevant to the competition, but you could have public holidays, for, say, two or three weeks in the middle and it wouldn't change anything in the vast majority of cases.
 
The leaders and laggards are beginning to move away from the rest of us. It is a most difficult month for stock pickers.

the guy in front could also even claim an 'early bird' loading as the leading stock, #1 on the pile, was tipped, boldly, on 18 March, first cab off the rank, fearlessly going where no other tipster had gone, confident and no looking back - apart from something along the lines of "third time lucky". And delivering an even better 6.5c to 10c lift if that was the start date.

But, alas, such claims will fall on deaf ears as Consiglieri Joe deigns to announce the winner at the appropriate time, as per the rules and regulations especially Clause 23, section 8, addendum 2.11.

Just been having a look at the April Comp as an outsider looking in for this month.
Now will @Dona Ferentes do a Lazarus and roam up from last to be a contestant up front??? !!!!!!
 
I don't reckon that my tip BGD a golder and silverer with a mill and some good finds won't win. It is a while away from turning dirt into gold and selling it. This market wants instant gratification. I nearly bought some today but pulled the limit order. I will own some one day, not yet though, too toppy imo.

Presently in 4th place and I'd be happy with either 3rd or last places.

Well mate sometimes I tire of hobnobbing with the rich and famous so joining the unwashed at last place would mean my pick would be at a lower price which would mean that I could buy it at a price more suitable. I also enjoy the banter of the unwashed presently occupying those spots.

I would though absolutely refuse to eat their dishes such as Chicken Parmi or Aussie Burger with The Lot.
