The monthly Comp is looking interesting now as posi's 1 and 2 look pretty safe.
With four contestants vying for 3rd, this posi will be interesting to see who has the get up and go.
More interest is down in the cellar I feel, as to who will feel the wrath of being the "Cellar Dweller" this Month.

I did see it and did accept that maybe my luck was turning against me. @Dona Ferentes is well ahead. It's anyones game for the placings. It is funny the leaders worry about falling down and the chasers worry about not catching up.

It is a good comp this month with the top 10 placings in with a chance with only 4 trading days to go. And there may be another @Dona Ferentes anywhere down the line waiting patiently for their luck to turn.

I am reminded of the words of Saint Bonaventura, 13th Century Franciscan bishop, cardinal, scholastic theologian, philosopher and man-about-town;
“The higher a monkey climbs, the more you see of its behind "

"It's a pleasant day for Furley the monkey until someone flings dung at him! Nobody is around to confess, so Furley goes on an investigation. "Who flung dung?!" Furley demands of Elephant and Rhinoceros. They deny everything, offended that Furley would think them capable of dung-flinging.

 
So the message is "don't sh*t on me, or you will be shat on.
 
Just to bring a measure of decorum back to fellow members who attend the monthly comp, we are near it's end.

I still expect to be overtaken and have given up on overtaking @Dona Ferentes

I am over wishing everyone all the best. I hope all your picks are beset by that toothless monster ASIC and sucked down a few percentage points between now and Friday. Herewith the top 10.

Its that time of the trimester; the announcing of Quarterlies may induce some turbulence, for most of the comp picks are minnow hopefuls dependent on news flow.

May insiders tarry a while, and the status quo be preserved

I'm asking my obstetrician for a Caesarean section and 2nd place. The sooner the better.

@Garpul Gumnut Sadly as of this morning my pick has suffered a major wheel problem and is now sliding downhill as it doesn't run that well on 3.
You with your pick you would have to be unlucky not to finish in the money.
So, your demise to the land of the great unwashed looks as if it will have to be an adventure next month.
 
Man, I had this months comp race all planned out. I was willing to let the early bolters race ahead and tucked in behind them. I was comfortable cruising behind the pace because I had the old "ace in the hole". A magnificent hidden advantage that when sprung would see me leap to the lead with only one day remaining. Unable to be caught, running ahead with eyes aglitter.

My "ace in the hole" was the quarterly activities and cash flow report, due at the end of the month. Oh. what a card.

Played that card today with only one day remaining and . . . .



It wasn't what I'd thought. Somebody switched the card! QPM spiked down, not up as planned. Quelle horreur!
I've been banished with the unwashed.
