End of January update of the yearly competition.
Explod (+16.1%): has bolted to the early lead with his cry of "Gold,Gold Gold" echoing around the stadium and is the only contestant to have all five tips in the green. A stellar month for the "goldbug".
In second place is systematic (+8.9%), followed in third by Paavfc (+6.0%).
Please check the spreadsheet for any errors (especially on the codes and entry prices).
ps: 'm keeping an eye on the XAO index and a few ETFs.

Equal third last after just one month. Thankfully there are 11 months to go for these turkeys to get their act together.

This is a great scoresheet. Thanks for pulling it together.
It's also interesting looking at the XAO versus the performance of the five stocks we have each picked. Lots of red on that scoreboard and I'm expecting the aussie market to continue lower in the coming weeks/months.
Where it will be by end of Dec is a flip of a coin!

Will you have a look at this! After only seven weeks the leader has exploded ahead.
The rest of us will need a year to peg him back.

EOM Feb update: The XAO index fell 2.0% during Feb.
Leader: explod: An even better month, a spectacular +77%. :bowdown:
So Cynical and drillinto were the 2nd, 3rd best improvers for the month.
There was also a small increase in the number of contestants beating the benchmark (XAO). This is now 19, up from 15.

Well, that's it for SDM - pity the 12.5c dividend doesn't count.
Didn't think about putting in a rule for takeovers.
Just for the record, I'm happy enough to rollover to CIM, but it would be a bit of a bummer if it wasn't a stock I would hold. Will have to put a rule in for next year where the person gets to buy something else. Do we have a rule for this year that everyone's happy with? Like I said, in this instance I'm happy to hold CIM, but given the opportunity might pick something else.

Thanks peter2 for the summary update.
The timing flatters the gold stocks pickers, and they shouldn't put the cranberry juice on ice just yet.
Financials have been catching up.

EOM March update: The general market ends up at the end of March.
Leader : Explod, (deserves his capital"E") although he's starting to lose his gleam (-10%).
2nd: So cynical, with a solid gain for the month (+22%)
3rd: Paavfc, with a solid gain for the month (+11%).
Worth mentioning: eragon (+18%), trillionaire (+17%), rcm617 (+14%), mushcu (+12%)
Notes:
systematic - I've given you the termination div on SDM.
shouldaindex - sorry DSH to zero, so any surprises will be good.

Thanks for the fantastic record keeping, peter2!
Will you roll my tip over to CIM (post-SDM trading, closing price on 21 March was $34.17 ) or would you like me to 'buy' (tip) something else (which I can do immediately, if you want to start it from April) - which I'd prefer to do.
I'll leave it as your choice...
...Very fun to see the year unfold month to month!

Sorry, there's no re-investment facility available for companies that have been bought up (SDM, UXC and any others throughout the year) and no second chance to sell the dogs that a few of us are holding. Argh. Think of it as "all-in". You'll have to sit on your capital gains.

Thinking positively at least you have an 18% winner locked in.

The ASF2016 yearly comp spreadsheet triggered a few alerts this week.
explod's portfolio hit +100% and So Cynical's portfolio hit +60% this week.
Thankfully there is plenty of time left for the rest of us.
