Does not seem like there is much interest in April stock picking comp.

Understandably so. Looks like anyone staying in the black is doing well.
Might be more bluechips selected in May comp!
 
Come on Canny and Richkid, a late surge to overtake BOC is fine by me, I hold both your picks.Neo I believe will have a big kick up the backside next week, time will tell.

I think just 3 positive picks so far in the comp reflects the market sentiment at the moment very well.Volatility in a downtrend (maybe ?) = speccie stocks nosedive first.I have been using the overnight finish of the Dow to enter/exit, and if you pick the right stocks, lots of money to be made.Although not sleeping quite so well at night, wonder why.
 
Given that highly volitile small caps are generally chosen for the comp its no surprise that the selections seem like a good litmus test for market sentiment.

Wouldn't mind taking LAF for the June comp, I dare say we can't choose stocks that far out though regardless of how much we lobby Joe
 
And Richkid slaughtered the field with an overwhelming 3.7% (the only stock that came in positive )

This really was a fluke! Just happened to get in by 1c and picked on a day that saw it drop to a low price. Just goes to show that a blue chip could have won it easy if someone had picked one of the few that went up. So with the market becoming choppier this comp will be wide open, no longer the exclusive domain of speccies. 3.7% is tiny!
 
It was a shocking month - fancy being won by a stock that went from 27 to 28c!!!
It's not that we're all pathetic - just a bad month, and I hope no-one held their picks all month!
Should be easier in May - and god help us if it's not - there'll be stockbrokers jumping from high buildings!! LOL

Richkid - are you donating your prize to Bell Potter or Tolhursts???!!!!!!
They need help!
 
Congrats Richkid - you predicted your win and sure enough you romped home.

Pity we weren't playing golf!

Congrats RichKid on being the only entrant in the black this month, with a return of 3.7%! Well done! Second place goes to doctorj on FAR with -6.38%. Even though he is in the red, it's still the second best result this month.

Guys, please contact me via PM regarding your prizes.

Lets hope we see some better results in next months competition!

Good luck everyone!

Thanks Joe! but I have a feeling (and by looking at the depth) that CBH will be down on Monday, so I just made it. Poor Porper, I thought he deserved to win being so far ahead at the start. This market is crazy atm. Thanks for putting up the prizes Joe, next months should be better for all.
 
only just. i reckon i've got the most wooden spoons over the months :/


wish you hadn't beat me to rtm for this month pick

someday one of these all or nothing gamble stocks is going to come off and i'll see some green in the comp :/
 

Yes, good effort Richkid, deserved winner, also I did hold CBH until I was stopped out so rather you win than BOC, which has been exceptionally volatile to say the least.

One positive result isn't fantastic either, proves that picking these little tin pot companies in a volatile market isn't the way to trade for real.Maybe a good lesson for some of us newbies.

I'll have to watch from the sidelines this month, I forgot to enter before I went away this weekend..............Damn.:screwy:

I have decided that I will accept all entries posted until midnight tonight.

Since the market doesn't open until tomorrow I am going to extend it for this month since it seems a few people have missed the deadline.
