Well, well, well.... it looks like stop_the_clock hung onto his top spot to take out the August competition with LVL, achieving an impressive 77.27% return! In second place we have RichKid who snuck into the top three in the last couple of days with his selection IMA and finished the month with a comfortable return of 29.79%! Rounding out the top three is the_godfather4 who selected IMP and ended the month with a very respectable 23.53% return.

Congrats especially to our two prizewinners this month!! stop_the_clock, I have received your email and you will be receiving your prizemoney via mail by early next week. RichKid, could you please contact me by PM regarding your prize. I will need your details again.

I will be announcing the winner of the Otrader portfolio management software over the next few days, when I have time to get out my calculator and take a look at the numbers. The winner will be the entrant who has the best average return over June, July and August. If you are in the market for portfolio management software, please pay Otrader a visit and see how their amazing software can make your life easier. Trial it free for 20 days!

Good luck to all for next month's competition!

Here are the final results for August:

Joe Bloe - I make it a mean of (- 0.37%). Heck that's break even - minus a tip for the croupier. Also 23 winners and 25 losers (and 6 abstainers). - Better odds than marriage anyway
By the law of averages, Buddha is going to rule that there are more winners than losers in Sep - so therefore one should arguably have $1 each way on the field. (Another nice math you've got us into). :alcohol:

Thanks Joe, the prize money arrived in the mail today. I will be putting it to good use...taking a holiday in November, a 4 day house boat holiday on the Murray.

Thanks again,

The winner of the free copy of Otrader portfolio management software for being the stock tipping competition entrant with the best average return over June, July and August is.... ta da.... lesm who has averaged an extraordinary return of 202.3% per month over that three month period thanks to his amazing 620% return on AUM (now CDU) in June.

Congrats les.... I will be in touch over the next few days with all the details.

My apologies for not announcing this sooner.

My apologies for not announcing this sooner.

Hi Joe,

No worries.

Thought I may have missed the announcement, knowing you are busy, especially with the trip to Prague coming up. Hope you enjoy the time there.

Cheers.

You're a bit late... about a year too late... this is 2006... make ten posts and get an average of 0.3 posts a day and you'll get in... Joe Blow is yet to make a 2007 August Stock Tipping Comp. Thread... He normally makes one about three days before the start of the new month...
