Hi Still In School,
Just had a quick look at www.cmcgroup.com again you seem to have found another 'niche' that you enjoy.

Ha! Ha! good one! www.cmcgroup.com.au (don't forget the 'au') may yield better results (not sure if they provide a spiritual service as well....might be part of the premium subscription...; )
 
Re: Official January Stock Tipping Competition Entry Thread!

I'd say today's entries will still be accepted. I for one will miss out on the January competition. I simply didn't have any time to find a decent stock out there. Anyway, good luck to everybody as usual. A few more days and Joe will be back to keep things under control here. I will slow down a lot over the next few weeks. Got on a project that will take up most of my time so keep up posting guys! This forum is certainly worth it.

All the best in 2005 to all members! May the $$'s be with you! :)

Hang on! Just realised that SOO came back down a bit so I'll put in SOO for January. (Former SES).

Bending the rules by entering the competition too late, I know. If anybody feels bad about this, then I'll just wait until February.

Happy trading

Why don't we just make the deadline midnight on the day before the first day of trading for the new month?? It really is better to stick to defined rules, as this is still the first few months of the comp maybe we could make a decision and check with Joe for confirmation. Personally I'm happy for people to enter before the day the market opens for the new month but we need to settle on something, especially as this site is growing (although the comp entrant numbers are relatively steady).
 
Re: Official January Stock Tipping Competition Entry Thread!

Yeh i'm with you Rich, midnight the day before seems ok. I guess its Joe's descision, picking a stock three days beforehand and see it go through the roof before the start is never going to give you the winner. I dont really care if i win or not its seeing everybodys picks that interests me.

I'd say that sounds reasonable. Joe will be back by the end of this week so any new rule should be agreed upon for the February competition. Still no trading today. :(

Happy trading

hi all
midnight before the first day of trading is fine by me it does give one a little more time when a weekend is involved.

Re: Official January Stock Tipping Competition Entry Thread!

prob agree with you about having a defined deadline. I only think this because it may help to eliminate future debates or knitpicking.

I don't see any real advantage putting your entry in early or a few days late since the comp goes for a month (btw longer than some of us would hold most stocks). In my case, I bought skw at 16c on 23 dec and it enter the comp at 18c so no real advantage getting in early.

Shooting myself in the foot by not choosing a penny dread, but I'll take a LT hold of mine

Also can understand this statement and it 'caused abit of debate last comp, but it's only for fun and after all it doesn't make alot of difference at the end of the day what you buy, as long as it makes the money you want.
However, having said that, maybe a way to get a true and interesting picture is to have a 3 stock entry for the tipping and then it may represent a more balance portfolio.
