ASX Stock Pickers '06

[Julia]

Before choosing, I'd have liked an answer to my question as to whether dividends ( and franking credits) are included?

However, on assumption they are, my picks are:

EXL MBL UTB SDG SUN WOW


Julia

(It was a toss up between UTB and ANZ)

 

[doctorj]

I thought you were kidding

How bout we compromise and include the dividends but not the franking - saves the calculator work!

 

[dutchie]

Doc,

I suggest you keep it simple and just run it like an extension of the monthly comp. No div's etc. (I, and I think others, made selections not allowing for div's/franking etc)

Maybe you could display the running results at the end of each month (if its not too much work).

Each entrant, if so inclined, could compare the buy and hold of the comp. to more active trading of the shares selected.

For those interested in doing a comparison.

Start the year by buying $10,000 worth of each share at opening price (3rd Jan 06) - (i.e. initial capital is $60,000).
Buy and sell that initial parcel at will - cost of trading - $30 in/$30 out.
Can't transfer capital from one share to another.
Assume 5% interest obtained on any capital not in market.
Any realised profits/dividends can be reinvested in each individual share (dividends obtained on specified dates).
If so inclined, post your trades.

Note:Could be a fair bit of work actively trading six shares for a year!

Hope I'm not out of line here Doc.

90% of the mum and dad investors buy a stock to keep for what ever reason (give to the grand kids, rainy day, long term growth etc...)

BUT MOST OF THEM KEEP THEIR HOLDINGS FOR AT LEAST A YEAR TO AVOID CGT!

Granted this is a predominantly trading website and many traders might not agree with the above system (and they are right to disagree), but why dont we just keep it simple?

Buy the stocks and forget about them until the end of the year.

 

[sam76]

Ooops,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

[RichKid]

sorry rich kid... Really my accounting records are great .

I'll drop vcr

No probs, I've deleted VCR from your original post. Hope your selection wins it for you! Not long to go before the start...

Hi Doc,

Yes, fine with me. I think dividends should be included as that's one of the things longer term investors look for when choosing a stock.

With thanks

Julia

 

[doctorj]

To appease the bears, dividends will be included but not franking.

My picks are:
FAR, CRL, NWE (going to be a 5-10bagger, or bust!), HDR, VPE, MAL (too bad about the last 2 days).

Entries will be extended until 1500WST, tomorrow 2/1/06.

 

[chansw]

[Porper]

Ok, I wasn't going to bother as it isn't how I trade/invest, but as it is for fun here are my six picks.

All speccies in an uptrend so nothing in it more than that, I don't even know what some of these companies do.

MGR
TFE
TAM
TGF
FCN
JUM

If Gold tanks I will be last

 

[son of baglimit]

dont feel bad porper - u spent heaps on nms without knowing what they did & still made $$$

 

[Stan 101]

cancel me. I picked rough speccies as we were told no dividends count..


Good luck..

 

[tech/a]

Dividends will count for very little in the final washup around 5% max/share if all pay dividends so on an individual basis less than 1%.

 

[doctorj]

Please check that I have you down for the correct tickers and that their close price from Friday is correct. Apologies for the formatting - I've been slack and pasted the spreadsheet.

Any stragglers are welcome to enter until 1500WST.
