MoneyAM Stock-Picker of the Year 2004 Competition.

So who really is the best stock picker amongst the MoneyAM users!

Our users simply had to choose any 2 London Stock Exchange (LSE & AIM) stocks which they thought would be the best performer in 2004. The MoneyAM user who picked the stock which increased the most (%) from all the MoneyAM user submissions would become the winner. If there was a tie for first place (two or more users choose the same stock) then the winner would be the one whose second stock performs the best, the second prize would go to the next person who chose the same winning stock but whose second stock was the second best performing etc.

So who really is the best stock picker amongst the MoneyAM users!

It seems I'm the only one with enough faith (or is it just time?) to follow it through!

Not bad, since we are at a bit of a low pending announcement of who the partner is, and pending a rumoured shareholder's day out go-karting in the Eindhoven sun in mid June, and the table doesn't take account of leverage due to warrants.

7th. Getting there slowly. Still 7 months to go!

Down a place!

My picks were so bad I will probably come last - bizarre picks lol

Still see OST hasdnt been updated to MXC. Any chance please ????????

And still this table is distorted by Matrix being listed as OST at 100% loss. This should currently be showing I believein first place (cant remember the exact start of yr price)

Fundamentalist,

I will get Jonathan to take a look into this. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Congratulations. I looked at them today (due to your posting) and they are about 4 fold, ie about 300% up, maybe more, but its hard from a graph to judge the precise price at the start of the year. I assume MXC was your choice.

Do you know what the start of year price was?

It's a bit of fun for me following this. I am not even in the competition as I wasn't using MoneyAm too much at the start of the year.

Good luck.

Crystal,

I think they were around 0.9p but not too sure. (I bought a small trading batch at 0.8p and sold at 4.4p so happy enough - most of my investment is LTBH). Good long term prospects though been heavily ramped recently. Will look at them again in the future no doubt, still on the watchlist. Anyhow, about 6 of us have them in the comp and my other share is taking a bath (Medisys)!

OST which you list as 100% down in fact changed its name to
MXC and is over 300% up so IMHO should be top of the list not bottom!!


EDIT: since posting the above, seen fundamentalist made the same point earlier.
My SIPP holds a good few of these and his post is correct as is mine - still well over 300% up since retracing from 400%+

Share dealing is a strange business. Mine (Antonov) are tipped on the Evelyn's Hair and Investment site!

From a chart, your's seemed to be more like 0.8, maybe even 0.75 at the start of the year.

Why still no sign of MXC (was OST) in the listings
(Over 300% up!)
or have I missed it?

Only 8 more places to go!
