October Stock Tipping Competition Entry Thread!

[Joe Blow]

Just a brief recap on the rules:

1. You MUST have at least ten posts to enter. Last month I said that for the October competition we were going to change the qualification to an average of ten posts a month. I have decided to postpone this until next month.

2. You get to choose one ASX listed stock.

3. The winner is the person whose selected stock performs the best in % terms between October 1 and October 31.

He/She will receive a years subscription to their choice of either Shares or Personal Investor magazine (or $50 cash). The second placegetter will receive the runner up prize of $25 cash.

Remember, DO NOT EDIT YOUR ENTRY POST. Edited posts mean instant disqualification.

You have until midnight on September 30 to enter.

Good luck!

I'd better start posting a bit more if I want to make that 10 posts a month rule starting next month.

As for my October stock competition entry, I haven't decided yet!

Well, I'm tempted to go with MUL after all the shares I'm holding and after the way it came down over the last 2 months. But then again that would just be pathetic . So I'll come up with something else. I'm pretty good at picking longterm stocks for a competition which only runs for 4 weeks

Anyway, I better come up with something reasonable this time. My performance so far is just shocking...

Happy trading

Stefan

I think it would be nice if people said a little bit about thier reasoning for picking the stock also, makes it a little more interesting to follow and can be educational. IMO

Think i'll wait till the dead line to choose, surprised no ones jumped on mul yet

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your kind words!

Yes, your stock must be listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.

Oh well, 1 more post after this and I am in the big comp !!
I have got my pick but will get some sort of reasoning written down before posting.I too think it is a good thing to try and give some info as to why we think a particular share may rise.

As I hold Mul, at a substantial paper loss I might add, I wont be picking them even though they will probably have a little spurt and win the comp for someone.

Good idea tarnor!

Although I must stress this is not compulsory in any way... only tell us a little more about your selection if you'd like to!

Hi Swaam!

Unfortunately options are not allowed. Only FPO shares.

Also, you need ten posts to enter the competition... but now that you've made one you only have nine to go!

Cheers!

Re: Official October Stock Tipping Competition Entry Thread!

Next month is going to be a very interesting one. I am in the green zone this month so it's a bit of improvement for me.

Maybe I should pick MUL this month, since the last 2 months MUL losing so much.

Re: Official October Stock Tipping Competition Entry Thread!

How do you track the 10 posts for next month if you don't check it at the beginning of the month? Do you a tracking system that we can use, Joe?

Thats what I would like to know...I think I'm close to ten posts but I dont know so Im not sure whether to look for a stock for the october comp.

Re: Official October Stock Tipping Competition Entry Thread!

The ten post a month idea has been postponed until next month, so as long as you have a total of ten posts by the end of September you are eligible to enter!

I will work out the finer details of the other idea during October.

The problem is that as the forum grows we will eventually have too many players for the competition if the only qualification is a minimum of ten posts. To overcome this, I think the stock tipping competition should be open to entry by only those members who post regularly.

Re: Official October Stock Tipping Competition Entry Thread!

Maybe five posts a month is a better idea?
