SEA again, thanks Joe!

I've chosen it for a few months in a row and it keeps on biting me! Basically, same reasons, it's a well run company with great management, they're gritting their teeth through the low oil price. Oil stocks have been smashed, understandably, but SEA has been smashed far too much in many respects. Put it this way, based on deals done between other companies in recent weeks they could sell their land and other assets for multiples of the current market cap. A takeover bid is also highly likely, based on that. Any change in sentiment of the oil/energy sector should have SEA jumping up, and a lack of it still leaves SEA highly likely to be the target of a takeover.

PRU

Preferring gold stocks at the moment.

Thanks Joe.

 

[jbocker]

EDE thanks Joe.
Time to get back on.

I believe the abrasion tests at 56 day milestone on test samples will be the significant factor for 'Edencrete' acceptance by the US state of Georgia, department of transport. I think this happens in October and therefore maybe a step change in value, but the risk (for this tipping comp) is the results may not be released till November.

RMS thanks Joe.

It has livened up on the chart of late and they are moving on some good prospective gold tennaments.

With Aussie gold on the rise think it is worth a run

 

[seans]

VIT thank you. IPO and moving up

 

[Tumbarumba]

MRF please.
Share placement to be completed by end Sept.; Announcement of granting of SLankan graphite mining licence expected shortly after!

 

[Nortorious]

I missed the September comp but I'm back for October and would like to select TAM.

Technically is looking great after a substantial base forming over the last 18+ months. Starting to break out with volume propelling it upwards.

Hopefully this pick brings home the Gold!

AUQ (Alara Resources) again for me thanks Joe.

Its a bit up in the air at the moment,this stock.
Plenty of rumours of JV/takeovers e.t.c,but with management taking its time and
copper/zinc prices falling the SP has dropped right away,looking for a bounce this month.
