Missed the Comp thread! (All months)

[tech/a]

Damn Missed my entry
It would have been WSP.

 

[Faramir]

I missed my entry as well. I wasn’t watching the time last night.

 

[debtfree]

I'll keep an eye on them both during the month. With all that cash @Faramir I suppose your going for SPX - Spenda ?. Your lucky, it's under 1 cent.

 

[tech/a]

Damn would have been doing OK as well.

 

[debtfree]

Yes @tech/a you would've and @Faramir bounced back today

 

[debtfree]

Just for the two outsiders

 

[Dona Ferentes]

Is this going to be a daily feature/ nose rub?

 

[tech/a]

How so .
Is this going to be a daily feature/ nose rub?

 

[Dona Ferentes]

Probably poorly worded. No offence implied.

Damn Missed my entry

Don't ya just hate that?
Know how ya feel. Me...right, gotta do this before I miss out again but, it's too far out to post up a pick so I'll do this in a couple of days time. A couple of days turns into a few days that turns into a week or even more then boom, missed the boat!

Ha, ha! Great thread idea...this is me every month! I was enjoying joining in a couple years back...then, every month I would miss it. I don't know what it was, but I would. I'll try and not be late to this thread in future Otherwise I'll have to start the, 'missed the missed the comp thread' thread!

3 Wins and 5 Placings, that's not too bad @systematic, especially the 318% Win . Better get back into it .

That's so cool that you track it! I didn't know that!

What I would like to know is, @tech/a why would it have been WSP? As it's been in a downtrend, what was going to turn it around?
I've noticed most of your Tips are above your rising 15d MA with a high Volume Bullish Bar attracting you to the stock in the first place. Any chance of a chart explaining your thoughts as to why WSP?

 

[divs4ever]

i'll try for the competing for 4 years part first , then see if i can get some more placings

Yes you go alright @divs4ever, you have the lowest loss on a Tip this year so far at -5% ......... ATM . Last year your lowest loss was -9%.

but i am hoping to beat inflation , that is the one to beat

cheers

Just out of interest, @debtfree , what were the participation numbers back then? Were there ever more than 100 entries for a month (and thus getting in early could have been necessary)?

Of course, if it's commercial-in-confidence, that's OK

 

[tech/a]

Lot of time left in the month. Doubt it will remain top (which doesnt matter anyway!).

Averages Below:
2004 - 17 (First 5 months)
2005 - 24
2006 - 52 (Dec 84)
2007 - 87 (June 100) the most (limit)
2008 - 75 ( June 83) 2 months data missing
2009 - 62 (July 75)
2010 - 49
2011 - 54
2012 - 43
2013 - 42
2014 - 35
Mid 30s to low 30s ever since.
From what I can remember there were book prizes when it kicked off then it moved into cash prizes when all the entries came in ? ?.
Prize money hasn't gone up in the last couple of decades along with inflation ? so it's lost a bit of attraction.
