When entering, please be sure to post your top pick for 2019, the stock that you believe will gain the most in 2019 and the reasons why in the relevant stock thread.

Firstly, well done to the currently anonymous Sponsor …. I have an inkling of who I think it may be, but whoever it turns out to be, well done
​
Quick suggestion Joe ….. Given the input from the Sponsor and the possible benefit to all us Members.

Can I suggest that Players should be required to post a reason for ALL of their selections in their relevant threads .... AND …

Be required to post a minimum of one update per Stock per month in the relevant thread for the duration of the Competition …. This is a very small amount of effort to ask for but in itself could create a worthwhile amount of additional postings/traffic.

I can guarantee you that any and all Members who have signed up for the Comp will be more than happy to do the above …… so much so that I insist that you make us do it!!
 
Hey @Joe Blow Following on from the above Demand!

Being the Xmas period, I assume many others like myself may not have had as much time to spend on Forum visits ….. So much so that I had almost missed this thread (my own fault of course but nonetheless true)

Anyway, I wonder whether there may be a lot of other Members who are unaware of the comp closing tonight ….

Perhaps a bulk email post to all Members with a 1 day extension on the Entry just to ensure the majority have a chance to get involved? (I don't recall getting one but may have missed it) ……

Assuming my above suggestion/demand is taken up, the more entries, the more posts/traffic generated ….. This is the objective after all, and better for the new Sponsor

Cheers …. and Happy New Year to all.
 
After all the above babble … my selections in the Comp are:-

PNR …. My top pick (ps I see you are hopeful for it as well @peter2 … hope we are both right!)

TRY …

SLR …

GOR …

As can be seen, I am not much into diversification … All young "Goldies" …. all or nothing
 
Very boring but I'll go for some staples as I think it's going to be a rocky year.

AMP, CBA, WES, WOW.
 
barney, I like your posts on the various parts of the forum. But the above quoted suggestion may be a bit over the top and can create too much work.

Hi Aus … and Happy New Year ……

My initial reaction was "surely you jest" as I thought you may be geeing me up

By "update" … I just meant a post on the chosen Stocks to basically "bump" the Thread, particularly if at hadn't been posted on for a while.

For example, a post might say as little as ….. "Not much price movement but fundamentals remain positive" ……. and that would be it! …… definitely not looking to make it hard for anyone.

Hope that makes more sense. Cheers.
 
All good mate, happy new year to you too.
 
A quick look through some charts and picked 4 stocks that no one else loves.
1-EXU (Top Pick)
2-CAJ
3-HE8
4-UNV
Thanks Joe, Peter and also the sponsor to make this happen.
 
I don't believe it, EXU is a takeover so selections are:
1-HE8
2-CAJ
3-BIS
4-UNV
 

Hi Barney, I haven't been able to get an email out today but I'm going to extend the deadline for competition entries until midnight tomorrow night to allow for any stragglers who would like to get a last minute entry in. I'll be extending the deadline not just for the full calendar year competition but also the regular monthly one. Hopefully we'll get some more entrants through the door tomorrow, but I can already safely report that the 2019 competition is going to be our biggest yet by a very large margin.

Keep those entries coming ladies and gentlemen.

@galumay Just so you guys realise, the reason I tipped these four was that they lie just outside the ASX 200 or ASX 300. I'm looking at what sort of price movement happens once they get snapped up by the big Index Funds.
Just a thought.
 
Congratulations Jo on raking in the big bucks in prize money. I must say though that I am disappointed with this rule:
  • A stock must have traded at least $100,000 in value in the five trading days prior to entry to be eligible.
It rules out the wildly speculative punt I wanted to take on biotech Kazia Therapeutics (KZA) which in the past week has only traded around $23,000 in value.

I see you have extended the deadline another 24 hours. I'll be back once I've found my hat.

The monthly competition is a case of throwing a dart at a dartboard. It's a lot of fun, but it's just a guessing game. The yearly competition is more of a real stock picking game with a twelve month time frame. That particular rule was originally intended to exclude a lot of microcap wildcards to try and make it more of a strategy game than a game of darts. It's hard to know whether it has any kind of material effect, so perhaps it's something we can reconsider for the 2020 competition?
