Hi Joe,

When do you plan for update as at June 30 2018?

Hi bigdog, peter2 has been kind enough to keep track of the yearly competition. I'm sure he will be along with an update sometime in the near future.

 

[peter2]

@bigdog Is the pressure of leading the yearly comp getting to you?

EOFY. I was busy closing last years portfolio spreadsheets and opening new ones. Reviewing my performance during the year and writing reports.

Because I was late, it takes me longer to get all the EOM prices into the spreadsheet, but it's all done now.

Thank you peter2 for updating the June results

This is the first year that I have entered the yearly comp and very interested of course

My big concern now is TRS "the reject shop" in my tips where daily volume has been low

Good luck bigdog. I think you're going to win this one

 

[mcgrath111]

Once AVZ hits .10 I'll be making the switch from USD to AVZ.


Big dog stands no chance against the big bear!

 

[peter2]

@bigdog remains the top dog.

@mcgrath111 AVZ hit 0.10 and closed at 0.105 on the day after your post.
I've replaced USD with AVZ using the next open price (0.11).

EOM July 2018 update for yearly comp: XAO +1.2% this month (YTD +2.2%)
-------------------------

LEADER: bigdog +42%

Second: skc +27%
Third: knobby22 +23%

Competitors with 5/5 positive: skc

# competitors beating the XAO: 8 (22%)

 

[peter2]

Using racing parlance I see @bigdog has the whip out and is riding APT hard. APT is currently +218% from its starting price. There's a long way to go and we're still to reach the home turn.

Meanwhile just behind the leaders there's been a "robust" challenge and he's now with the leaders thanks to ALU, NAN and XRO.

I will confirm that bigdog still has his nose in front as we come to the end of Aug.

 

[bigdog]

Currently 59.6% today

I set up excel file to check occasionally

I bought them all too.

TRS The reject shop has been performing poorly and down 13%

 

[peter2]

EOM August 2018 update for yearly comp: XAO +1% this month (YTD +3.2%)

-------------------------
@bigdog holds onto the lead, but @robusta has put in a determined challenge.

Another shock, our guest tipsters Lincoln Ind and M.Roth are the only ones to hold 5/5 profitable picks.

-------------------------
LEADER: bigdog +58%

Second: robusta +44%
Third: knobby22 +36%

Biggest gains this month: robusta +28% (ALU, TPM, XRO), bigdog +16% (APT, A2M),
knobby22 +13% (AX1, MYX)

Competitors with 5/5 positive: Lincoln Ind., M.Roth,

# competitors beating the XAO: 8 (22%)

 

[peter2]

Two trading days until the end of Sept and there's a challenge to @bigdog 's top dog status as leader.

Has bigdog run out of steam or will APT rise again?

 

[HelloU]

prolly run out of steam ( i reckon a2m is gunna knee-cap him) .....word is a2m had to pay a scalper to get a corporate box at the footy finals .....cost $4M or something for the weekend (prolly not true though - you see more on the TV anyhow - and nobody gets drunk on milk no matter now much you drink).

 

[bigdog]

i'm worried

looks to be close this month

I need A2M to kick on by tomorrow
APT is also looking better

 

[PZ99]

I reckon A2M will run like hell after the October peak.

Meanwhile I'm still in the basement... washing the cars

 

[HelloU]

APT is also looking better

i am thinking about emailing that lady to encourage her to bring forward her next remuneration installment and dump that on-market tomoz .......

in all seriousness SM1 is the flip-side to all that .....(but losing some heavies soon/already?)

Peter

Your total gain/loss % calculation is based upon the total of the five % gains less % losses and divided by 5 and reports my gain is 48.8%



I have purchased the five shares I tipped and my net profit is about 30%

I have just loaded my five shares into Excel and included the $ gain or $ loss for the five shares since the start of year
Total of my five share prices is $43.465 at January 2 2018
Total of my five share prices is $61.715 at Sept 28 2018
Net Gain for my five share prices is $18.25 at Sept 28
$18.25/$43.465 represents weighted gain of 29.6%



Are there any comments on choice of methods?

In real life I sold my Enn shares and bought APT for 8.19. So happy Dgr has come good. Having the best 6 months in a long time.
