Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to the January 2015 stock tipping competition entry thread! :)

I am pleased to announce that the January 2015 stock tipping competition sees the introduction of a new sponsor!

This month's competition is proudly sponsored by Pepperstone - The World's Leading Forex Broker.

Pepperstone is an Online Forex (FX) Trading Broker, providing traders across the globe with cutting edge forex trading technology to offer unmatched top tier liquidity, institutional grade spreads and the security of tight financial regulation. Pepperstone offers online forex trading through multiple forex trading platforms, including Metatrader 4, Webtrader and Apps for iPhone and Android.

Get started today and get up to $600 free brokerage!

A quick recap of the rules for those not familiar with them:

1. You MUST have a minimum of 10 posts to enter.

2. Each entrant may choose one ASX listed stock. Options, warrants and deferred settlement shares are not permitted.

3. Stocks with a price of less than $0.01 are ineligible for the competition, as are stocks that are currently suspended from trading.

4. The winner is the entrant whose selected stock performs the best in percentage terms between January 1 and January 31.

5. The maximum number of entrants in the competition is 100.


The competition winner will receive $100. The second placegetter will win $50 and the third placegetter $25.

You have until midnight on Wednesday, December 31 to enter. However, in practice, entries can be submitted until this thread is closed. No entries submitted after that can be accepted for any reason.

Those who qualify, please post your entries in this thread. Remember, once you have selected your stock, you CANNOT change it for any reason. Also, you must be qualified when you enter.

Each month we usually have some members who do not qualify for the competition but enter anyway. If someone who has selected a stock hasn't yet qualified for the competition, their stock is officially up for grabs! Just mention it when you post your entry.

Best of luck to all entrants! :D
 
I choose FMG please Joe. The iron ore price has to go up one day, doesn't it?

I mean really, how long can this fall go on for? :)
 
I forgot to remind everyone to please post a brief reason explaining why they chose their competition entry. One or two sentences is enough (feel free to add a chart if your reason is TA based). If your entry is the same as the previous month and the reason for choosing it is the same then feel free to just post the same explanation again.

Thanks! :)
 
lng_jan_stock_tip.jpg

Reason for LNG as my pick is I think its recent bullish candle combined with the following gaps higher may be signalling a break of the downtrend.
 
AVQ please.

They have gone from 1.1c to 1.6c in the past few weeks. They won a court case in September and the loser appealed, to be heard early next year, so might be a bit of speculation leading up to that.
 
ALT - Analytica Limited
Why again? ALT dropped during December, so I am hoping it will rise. Very speccy.

Pericoach is well overdue for a product launch. They need to market it, even Deborah Hutton has jumped aboard their 'marketing machine'. No , I haven't put real money into this stock. Very tempting but too risky. So tipping it for a competition makes more sense. Last month I said I would pick a random stock but I couldn't write a sentence or two about it. At least with ALT, I can make a wild guess.
 
MNM again Joe, please.

I expect it to increase in price with the gobbling up of small gold and coal companies by larger ones.

Tough choice this month, but I'll take another punt on TPD.

The price has been smashed down, along with all shale oilers, but small cap explorers like this get smacked hard. If oil recovers a little, or perhaps even if it doesn't, and their initial test well for the Coolangatta prospect goes nicely (due to be evaluated by the end of December, which may mean they jump up before the competition starts, but then again this sort of thing is prone to delays) they should really move.
 
SLF for me thanks Joe.

Rationale:

In a decent uptrend and no real resistance overhead until around the $14 mark from a rough look at the chart.
 
Sundance Energy (ASX: SEA) - I was on the bus today and the old lady behind me seemed like a reliable indicator of future share price movements. She was speaking to her friend about bingo this coming Thursday at the Doncaster Hotel (not sure if it's on given its Christmas Day, though) and about how good Herbert-from-across-the-hall was with his hands, whatever that means. Then she started talking about Sundance Energy and how it was a shoe-in for strong share price appreciation in January. She sounded like she knew what she was talking about. Good luck, all.
 
SGQ..Drilling has recommenced with results due Jan.
Honing in on the motherlode could do an SIR if successful..
 
FAR thanks Joe,

Great news is not far away!!

FAR 9:05 AM Successful Senegal drilling program completed

20 November 2014
Successful Senegal drilling program completed
• Two significant oil discoveries in the drilling program
• Both wells declared oil discoveries
• Preparing to plug SNE-1 well prior to rig being released
• Following the significant oil discovery in shallower Albian objective of SNE-1, no hydrocarbons encountered in deeper carbonate target
• Planning for an appraisal program to evaluate the two discoveries is underway

FAR Ltd (ASX: FAR) and its Joint Venture (JV) partners have completed drilling operations on the SNE-1 well in Senegal and plans are now underway to appraise the discovery.

Having discovered oil in the upper Albian sandstone target, no hydrocarbons were subsequently encountered in the deeper target of karstified and fractured Lower Cretaceous shelf carbonates. Following completion of logging operations the well will be plugged and abandoned as planned.
 
BLT Benitec Biopharma. Impossible to predict when this stock will fly or flop, except that one of the two will occur sooner or later.
 
AUQ - Alara Resources thanks Joe.

Lots of prices movement and increased volume past few weeks.
Frivolous court action from JV partner should hopefully be tossed out soon clearing the way
for licences and approvals for copper zinc mine in Saudi.
