Good luck to all!

Thanks Joe, we'll probably need some luck after last months general performance! So does this mean you're back? If so, you've got a lot of reading to do catching up on the zillions of posts since you left!! Some really interesting discussions. Stefan did a great job while you were away let's hope this year turns out to be as good as last year for the All Ords.

Yes, Stefan did a great job while I was away. I really appreciate his support.

Just got back this morning... am reading all my emails and sorting through piles of snail mail. Then there's phone messages to catch up on, laundry to do and jet lag to deal with! Not complaining though, I had a good break.

Am looking forward to catching up with what's been going on here while I was gone. It's good to see all the regulars are still here and I've noticed there are quite a few newcomers as well!

I'm now back on deck and ready for 2005. I have a feeling it's going to be a good one.



P.S. Will be getting your $50 out to you ASAP.

Good to have you back, Joe! I'm actually going to retire soon from this board so I'm glad you didn't fall for the European way of life and made it back home!

Talk to you later

Stefan

I'm actually going to retire soon from this board

Only temporarily I hope!

I'd like to mention that from this month forward you can choose between Shares, Personal Investor, Money or Wealth Creator magazine for the first prize.

I thought it was time to add a couple of new magazines just in case we get someone winning the competition multiple times.

Cheers!

"I thought it was time to add a couple of new magazines just in case we get someone winning the competition multiple times."

Very thoughtful of you, considering NMS will win for a few months in a row.
yes, O.K. this is a ramp.

 

[Fleeta]

What if more than one person picks the same stock? Is that allowed?

First person to post any particular stock as their entry gets it.

 

[Fleeta]

In that case, put me down for NMS for February. Just to annoy baglimit...

You'll have to wait until I start the entry thread for the February competition to enter for next month.

 

[Fleeta]

OK, thanks Joe, i'll have to remember to keep checking for that.

 

[RichKid]

OK, thanks Joe, i'll have to remember to keep checking for that.

Joe usually sends me an official reminder via email, I think we can all opt in for it, is it in the control panel???

 

[baglimit]

you watch yaself 'fleeta', or i'll av ya.
you or anyone else touch my nms and by geez there'll be hell to pay.
not that i'm getting possessive or anything !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RichKid]

Nice to see I'm doing well with MRX, heading straight for the wooden spoon, glad I can get out of stock in real trading or this would have been a disaster. MRX is still in sights for the takeover but we'll just have to wait and see...

 

[GreatPig]

Well Mr Barlow is off to a good start, but can he keep up the pace?

A long way to go yet...

GreatPig,
great gain on BWT, good tip. Even if it falls off, the gain is there and gives the opportunity to be taken.
I'm not holding but will keep an eye on it.
opcorn:

Rich,
bad luck with MRX, hope you didn't get personally singed.
I haven't held mrx but had been watching waiting for ann result with view of jumping in. It sure plumeted when ann came out (about 35%+) on weds, has bounced abit since (4.35% today) but not much. Seems to be a great example where market at times relies heavily on anns in regard to resources. I've read on this site (by a very prominent poster) that anns don't make a difference, they come and go and the market moves on, this being said in support of the debate of fundy vs t/a. I think examples like mrx show the benefit of having some knowledge of fundamentals and linking it to t/a trends when dealing with resources. I use both fundamental, technical analysis, and yep at times contrarian approaches in trading and believe it doesn't have to be a choice. But guess it all depends on how much time you have. Also sure many others use a variety of approaches, just thought this opinion ties in well with how the market reacted to mrx.
cheers
