GPT running 7th in the competition with a loss, since the start of the month, of only 4.11%. Tough month.

 

[Purple XS2]

This month must rate as something close to an all-time record? Average result across all tippers so far is -13%?
But for the spectacular 100%+ leader, it would equate to an average of about -15.3%.

Perhaps there's a few worse ones in the archive, but what this tells me is that the age of the small-cap mining explorer is dusted.

... what this tells me is that the age of the small-cap mining explorer is dusted.

Yet still, you need to pick the small-cap mining explorer, cos BHP or WES won't go +30% to +100% in one month!!

I'm pretty sure the three (3) times that I have taken out the competition I didn't pick a small cap miner or exploration stock.
