Hi Joe

Woolworth declared a $0.59 fully franked dividend during the month, giving holders at the start of the month a return at close of the month in excess of 6%. Shouldn't WOW be regraded to the top 10 finishers?

Hi Nulla, unfortunately I have to go solely on the change in share price to determine rankings, otherwise the competition will become too complicated. I realize this does disadvantage dividend paying stocks, which I suppose is why the competition entries tend to be speccies.

However, I think it's safe for you to go ahead and regard WOW as one of the top ten finishers for March. It just won't be reflected in the final results.
