Hi all,

Thought it might be fun to find out what everyones best buy was this year..........which rising star has made your portfolio sparkle :D

I will start by saying three cheers for ZFX Zinifex, bought on 3/8/05 for $3.30 closed yesterday $6.46 :D :D :D

Who is your hero ...............
 
Forget Mandela, forget the Pope, Chicken is my hero for 2005!

(never thought all those names would be written in the same sentence :D )

SBM was my stand-out performer this year.

In at 9 cents and still holding.
 
i'd like to refer to my all up - nmso (6c to $1.22) into cash till the next big thing, which floated just 2 days ago - ceoo, in at 3c, currently 6c.

merry xmas & happy NY to all.
 
I guess this is the time to gloat :)

BTP 46c I think it's $1 now.

But be honest what are the worst loosers have you guys picked?

I bought CUE for around 40c and sold them at 22c.

I'm with you Mime, CUE has been my worst stock of 2005

I bought in at 36. Took up the 1 for 5 offer at about 25.

Still holding - but getting worried about the possibility of another capital raising
 
Best Buy - Toss up between Rio and Woodside.
Worst Buy - Metabolic Pharmacueticals (I am still hanging on to these - there's a lot of people who would benefit from anti-obesity medication if it gets to the market.)

Ok then - who's gonna stick there neck out with a best stock prediction for 2006.... :behead:
 
vcr,
why? because supposedly all the work is done or nearly done and now it1s just the ce mark thats needed and after that the world :eek:
 
Worst buy....TLS at $5.05
Best buys for 2006...SUN-I have been trying to time an entry since it was $12-Pretty silly stuff
MFS-to continue its upward run

Disclaimer....Do not take my predictions seriously.I lose very regularly
 
Worst buy: Bought in the float of Babcock & Brown Capital (BCMCA) at $2.50. Sold two days ago at $1.75 rather than pay the second instalment of another $2.50.

Sam, thank you for your compliment..I am still holding made good $$ on this but now got a parcel of 200k shares back in between 25c and 28.5 cents...looks as this one has still a LOT of steam in it..as NICKEL will be SBM next game ..and the next resistance of 40 cents will also be broken...I am still intrested who bought the 49 million shares from Southern Cross....maybe SBM is my answer..mailed SBM to find out so far no luck..this stock is in a traiangle and should now as it has filled the gap go higher ,how high...if the Nickel will be as big as they make you beliefe they may have, a $1 would only be a start..... :2twocents
 
Best buy for investment: RCD. Bought some on 2/8/05 for $5.92 and more on 11/10/05 for $6.50. Still holding at $8.17 as I write. Averaged return of about 33% to date (actual, not per annum).

Best buy for trading: probably PDN. Made decent gains on a couple of trades.

Cheers,
GP
 
Best buys, SBM, NVC and NMS - all at least 200% gains. All come from ASF (thanks Chicken and Baglimit).

Worst buys - anything I pick myself! All negative this year, MGW (lucky I sold at 4.16), IIN (lucky I sold at 2.60), IBA (why didn't I sell at 90c), CBD (lucky I sold at 6c), MPI (why didn't I sell at 22c!), the list goes on and on and on and on...like a Chicken with his favourite stocks, still ramping after 300% returns!
 
best buys were BTA and RSG.... (since 50% plus gains in a few weeks)

Worst sells... selling zfx around 3!!! :banghead: :swear:

and MGX is now not doing too good lately...
