Welcome to the May stock competition everyone! This months competition is sponsored once again by StockScan, your personal radar to the ASX! StockScan allows you to scan the ASX for stocks according to criteria you specify. The results of these scan appear in your email inbox at the end of each trading day to ensure you never miss out on a trade that may interest you. :)

As usual we had a handful of entrants who did not qualify for the competition this month (for various reasons) so if your username is not included in the list that is more than likely the reason why. If you believe that you have been left out of the competition unfairly then please contact me via PM.

As this is all done late at night I almost inevitably make a few errors entering all the entries/entry prices into the database so could all qualifying entrants please check their entries and entry price and report any errors to me in this thread.

Keep track of the results here: https://www.aussiestockforums.com/stocktip.php

Feel free to discuss the competition in this thread as the month progresses.

Good luck to all! :)

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

Sorry, I usually only change the stock and the entry price since many of the same people enter the competition month after month. I must have gotten it wrong months ago and never fixed it. My apologies. :)
 
Too late to join? If not i'll pick was, and take todays loss.

I'll have to keep an eye out for next months comp :xyxthumbs
 
Mofra not me that had LAF
Seems everyone wants a LAF :)

As Cleopatra said to Mark Anthony:-
"Mark oh Mark my wise friend, I can't wait till they invent the biro -
Please wipe these tears from mine eyes friend, next time you're passing through Cairo...

and Mark's Reply (a slight lisp):-
"Cleo oh Cleo I mith you too, I can't wait till they invent the phone
LAF and the world LAF's with you, but wipe and you wipe alone." :eek:
 
Gee..a crap load of Negative returns in the competition at the moment.

Guess it makes me feel better:>
 
A hearty congratulations to both Insider and nomore4s for taking out the top two spots in the May competition! Insider increased his lead with CAV to a whopping 120.18% while nomore4s also finished very strongly with AUZ to end the month with a very impressive 92.31% return. Rounding out the top three was professor_frink with NWA who achieved an even (but equally impressive) 80% return during May!

Could both Insider and nomore4s contact me via PM regarding their prizes.

Best of luck to all for the June competition!

Here are the final results for May:

WOWO - Insider, I hope you had money on those bets !

I plan to keep a rolling 6 months of results - as we add a month we drop one off.

I include the XAO (very rough I just took it from a graph ;)) - so you have to do better than 2.75% to prove you weren't just "lucky".
Guess what the mean of all best is ? 2.00% lol ;) -
still at least the mean ASF punter is paying for the busfare home from the races lol.

here's XAO for comparison :- :)

Also I'm sure that everyone is aware of the 72 rule -
If you improve 12% x 6 months, then you double your money (12 x 6 = 72)
So anyone averaging better that 12% per month has doubled their money in 6 months.
(1.12 ^ 6 = 1.97)

Likewise 6% per bet x 12 bets ( compound) = double your money, (6 x 12 = 72)
(1.06 ^ 12 = 2.01)

3% per bet x 24 bets, etc etc :2twocents

PS Insider has almost increased his original bet 8 fold ! ( 7.92)

PS when I said back there that XAO has averaged 2.74% per month, and ASF punters have averaged only 2.00% per month, it was unfair because ...

if I deleted all the occasions people didnt bet , then the average ASF punter would have been 4.09% - which is miles better than 2.74% lol

well certainly 4% per month is miles better than the bank :)
well done folks.

Moral of the story?
For the last 6 months, you had to be in it to win it.

Will that apply for the next 6 months?

I'll let you know in 6 months lol.
Better still, 6 months after the election ;)
 
Is that a lot? :rolleyes: I've been averaging 40% per month so far however I think that soon I may just push it over 50%... Being positive :)
