What a tough year it's been so far. If people bought the stocks they tipped, then the vast majority of the positions will be in the red !

Another month has passed. We're half way through the year. No change to the top 3.
The middle of the pack (mean value) did improve, so we might get an interesting finish.

I've done the data entry, sorted the order and just have to cut & paste the June results.
But first there's tennis tonight. Will post final results later on. (tease)

Note: I haven't got a back-adjusted value for AVH yet after their recent redomiciling to the US.

 

[peter2]

Ripples in the pond.
Today's massive spike in SZL has catapulted @Ross@enna into third place.

However the demand for gold stocks has increased @finicky 's lead over @Kaya.
If gold continues it's inexorable rise until the EOY then finicky is home and hosed. The other gold portfolios are too far behind to catch up.

A significant move in SWF has pushed @aus_trader right up behind the leaders. Sneaky one Aus.

Thanks Peter2, it's done surprisingly well. I am also encouraged by the uplift in Silver stocks which tend to lag behind Gold stocks. So my Silver pick may still outperform still, given there is very few pure Silver plays on the whole of asx.

We are into July and I haven't lost hope for my stocks to come through and shine...

 

[peter2]

One more trading week to end July 20.
Will the surging precious metal prices lift the gold bugs into the top spots?

Not likely, our current leader (@finicky ) has four gold stocks in their selections and has pulled further in front. Well played.

 

[finicky]

Market upheaval before year's out could well upset the apple cart. Anyone who picked BEAR or BBOZ could surge from behind in the straight. Or maybe a high tech or biotech selection. Gold won't be spared.
".. their selections" how woke and rainbow peter2, snicker

[peter2]

As I mentioned earlier our fearless leader @finicky has increased his lead.

There was plenty of movement in mid pack as competitors who selected RCE, SVL, SZL and OPY made up ground.

Unfortunately I must report a very sad event, Peter2 has slipped off the first page. His PET is very ill.

Edit: Oops, I forgot to mention the new feature in the tables that honours the winners and place getters over the past three years.

ps: and last years "lantern rouge".

ARQ alas is no longer.... I believe, changed names or countries or whatever.
What happens with this scenario.
A dead loss, or can I pick a replacement for it?
Not a lot of thought went into that one. .
Cheers

 

[peter2]

Not much thought went into that post either.

ARQ has changed code to WCG. This is indicated by the two codes in your selection panel.



You're forgiven because I know that chasing small cap stocks on the ASX fry's your brain.

I feel the pain mate, an unbelievable fall from grace story !

I have followed this company for decades from it's Glory days when it was called Melbourne IT Ltd (MLB) when nothing seem to be able to derail it and was making heaps of money and paying chunky dividends.

How times have changed: MLB -> ARQ -> WCG ...

 

[frugal.rock]

Not much thought went into that post either.

I hadn't looked at the table.
My apologies @peter2.
I feel like a proper twat, raising the question without looking at the provided tables that have had lots of effort made to keep tabulated.

 

[peter2]

Contenders for this years prizes have all increased by 40 - 60% this MONTH.

CHN (+600% /yr), Z1P (+150%/yr), APT(+200%/yr) and SZL(+400%/yr) have boomed in Aug 2020.

Just noticed that no-one selected the goldie, DEG (+1900%/yr)

[systematic]

That feeling when you go from negative returns to 20%+ returns (and all 4 stocks positive)...and realise that you're not even in the Top 40!

 

[Craton]

Just a thought, no doubt we're all wondering how different the stock picks might have been with the whiff of CV19 and lock downs in the air?
Anyways.... good luck to my fellow entrants and many thanks for the updates peter2, onyas!
