I was going to pass again doing this until I saw there was a prize for coming Last

A bunch of Hail Mary stocks for a fun 2025.

BRN - The year for Neuromorphic computing
VBTC - Trump/Saylor Effect and Strategic BTC Reserves popping up
IMU - One of these drug candidates might actually land
AXE - Quantum Computing

Good Luck to all players!

Yo @kenny you will have to replace IMU with another stock , as it did not make the grade as being above 10cents at the close of business of Friday.

@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.

the logic was VAS tracks to ASX 300 , and despite all the 'doom and gloom ' ( including from me ) i want to have a bet on a market melt-UP
( if it does i will be looking for sensible reductions in my actual holdings )

this year is a straight capital gains play ( and VAS is my 'safety play ' ie not trying to outperform a rising market , just keeping pace )

any divs will end up in the DRP ( and add a unit or two during the year )

PS i expect a lot of companies will be trimming divs this year , for one reason or another ( expansion plans , reducing debt , etc etc

 

[divs4ever]

with VAS i am thinking inflation reflected in the markets will push this 2% to 5% higher this year
