Welcome to the 2025 Full Year Stock Tipping Competition fellow ASF members.

Firstly, thanks to @debtfree for taking this on originally, and keeping us updated for the past few years.
He is taking a well earned break.
I was reluctant to take this one as he set such a high standard, but as long as everyone accepts that the standards will be somewhat lower, all should be fine.
Because I was a bit late in taking this one on, thanks to a suggestion from @Dona Ferentes , the entries will close on Jan 13th.
Anyone who gets their entries in by Dec 31st will have a bonus picks in that they can change one and only one tock up until Sunday Jan 12th.

Thanks again to @Sean K for generously offering to donate the prizes, and sop I will keep them the same as the previous years comp.
I was going to offer some of my hopme made pastry as prizes, luckily @Sean K came to the party before committing to my culinary skills.

The cash prizes are below:

1st - $500 Bunnings gift voucher.
2nd - $250 Total tools Gift voucher
3rd - $100
Last - $100

** Just a reminder that no changes of entries are allowed during the year, so please choose carefully and with a 12 month time frame in mind.
All stocks selected must be $0.10 or more at the time of entry.


The rules for the Full CY 2025 Stock Tipping Competition are as follows:

• Each entrant must select four ASX listed stocks.
• No stocks that are trading at less than $0.10 on the day of entry may be entered.
• A stock must have traded at least $100,000 in value in the five trading days prior to entry to be eligible.
• To qualify for the competition and prizes you must:
  • post in the thread of each of your entries detailing why you think the share price of each will increase in 2025.
  • at the end of each month post an update in the thread of each of your competition entries with an update such as: if your reason for picking them still exists or just a general update on how they are going.
• If a stock is taken over it can be replaced. The exit price shall be taken to be the takeover price. The new stock must be nominated before the date the taken over stock ceases trading and the entry price of the new stock shall be taken to be the closing price on the day the taken over stock ceases trading. The replacement stock pick chosen will have its opening price on the day that the stock is choses adjusted to reflect the price increase or decrease of the original stock chosen Does that make sense?
• The competition will run from Monday, 13 January 2025 to Wednesday, 31 December 2025.
• Entry prices will be the price at the close of trading on Friday, 10 January 2025.

Entries are now open. Please enter at your convenience by posting your entries in this thread.

Entries will be taken up to Midnight on Sunday 12 Jan 2025 .

In a departure from past comps, to make life easier for myself, I am only going to take into account the capita gains, so any entities that pay dividends will NOT have their prices adjusted to allow for dividends. Yeah, I'm lazy.

If you have any comments, feedback, or questions, please post them in this thread.

Mick

Well done Mick.

Is SP500 EW not allowed?

If so please swap this out for ASX:WDS

Heavy resources for me this year.

I see I confused it as it’s a ETF listed on the ASX. Will drop it my bad.

 

[Sean K]

Great work Mick!

Looking forward to donating some tools.

I was going to go all copper, but Pete beat me too it, so:

My picks are:

PDI: will be taken over by PRU for around 32c.
SVM: will be taken over by RIO for about $1.06.
MEI: China will blockade Taiwan and rare earths will go nuts.
SVL: they will put a power annex into their mining app which will be approved.

SK

@mullokintyre Mick, MEI and SVL are under 10c so I need to swap them out. Sorry for the trouble.

Revised picks are:

PDI
SVM
FFM
HCH

You lot might as well give in, give up now as I have the winning foursome

 

[Sdajii]

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.
Mick

Wow. Dressing up a penalty as a reward and hoping a percentage will take the bait because it will benefit you personally!

It's an anonymous forum, but I've narrowed down your identity to being one of the prominent labour politicians

Thanks for letting me know. I'll copy your choices and we can share first and second prize.

Cheers!

@UMike has donated his 2024 first prize winnings to ASF - half of which will go to the ASF Legal Defence Fund and the other half will be the 2nd prize in the 2025 full year competition.

Congratulations @UMike and thank you for the donation.

My pics for 2025 are as follows

BOE
ZIP
DRO
WJL

These are the four stocks I actually hold in my actual portfolio. Not sure whether I have entered the competion correctly and whether my pics count. I'm not keen to sign up for a new platform, I already use Market index, Aus super and Commsec for my share activity.
