January 2025 Stock Competition Entries!

[Dona Ferentes]

@Dona Ferentes has a commanding lead. I'm taking my cricket bat and going home. Winning is not the most important thing it's how you can take adversity by spitting the dummy. @peter2 is ahead of me. As are @TimeISmoney and @Miner . I don't really care.

I'm recording it for posterity, because there's no real substance to justify FGR’s 6.7c achieved today

.
in fact, profit takers are moving in. I'm a target. ...only one way to go and that's down. I can feel the heat. Can't wait for the month to end.. Others are lining up for a potshot. Deer in headlights. Ruin awaits.

It's only early days yet, you'll probably see a few board name swaps before the month's end. The markets are all over the place at this stage.

A giant dummy spit by @Garpal Gumnut who has now retreated to the front bar of RIH to drown his sorrows.

In fact after a few beers and a look at the after market closing prices at 4.11 pm it would appear the competition bot has made a mistake and I should be in 3rd place.

I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE A BIG THING OUT OF IT.

Just sayin'.

@Faramir has fallen back a little bit with the after market deals but is very much in contention. @Dona Ferentes is well ahead. @TimeISmoney and @peter2 remain a big worry for myself and @Kyngdom . @Miner is no slacker in the comp and all the way down to 10th and beyond there are opportune stocks which could shine. GCM, my pick is in a trading halt until Friday so I will only move down or up on others gaining or losing.

It is all very exciting.

Halfway through the month. Well deserved PAT on the back for @Dona Ferentes @TimeISmoney @Garpal Gumnut @Kyngdom @peter2 and everyone.

I had no idea what PAT did until today . I just wanted a PAT on my back.

Will someone give @Faramir several pats on the back for choosing PAT.
Oh, there is a queue forming.

Unless GCM find a way to turn graphite in to Gold in the next two weeks I cannot see it going any higher. It may even retrace. So I'll wait and see if I end up among the leaders. There are no more announcements on the cards and it has pushed up to .021 and seems stuck around 0.020 or just below.

I'd prefer to hold GCM for a possible good profit down the track rather than see a t/o bid and challenge for first place.

@Dona Ferentes still has a commanding lead. The ususal suspects are lined up behind us.

It ain't over until the fat lady sings.

After checking the Monthly Comp Table is good to see that @Garpal Gumnut has brought his bat and ball back to play again.

i do when you can buy a good one CHEAP

but don't panic sometimes the ASX lifts in volume after Australia day holiday

 

[barney]

i do when you can buy a good one CHEAP

Yeah indeed Divs ...

Only (try to ) buy Specs when they are cheap/undervalued for sure ...if you are planning on accumulating a position (my usual plan now days)

Any other buying requires "timing" the transaction way more accurately. (not my forte)

I dont actually own any GW1, but todays crazy decrease on almost zero Volume could indicate a "test"

The next couple of days will shed light on whether the "test" was false/random/or a feeler for a possible move further down the track?

Minimal Volume/large percentage moves on Specs are often not random ... Unless Commsec is trying to rack up a few extra bucks on commissions (cynical!), lol.

@divs4ever There is a certain amount of wriggle room at the cellar door divs.
Time will tell who will be wearing the wrath of being Convenor in the Cellar.

It looks as if my pick GCM is heading down among the unwashed. Nice while it lasted.

Save me a bar of soap.

Same rules I guess. If you drop the bar of soap you don't bend over to pick it up.
