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.

Fundementalist,

Any truth in the rumour you have large orders placed in the market in a last desperate attempt to get your mits on that coveted yellow jersey?

Cheers Ian news should come before then.Any chance of a bottle of champers chucked in? Or should i be buying that as bought as low as 8p.

Yes a small vested interested though only small as there are others who have MXC but a better second stock - it doesnt get much worse than MDY lol!!!

Personally would be happy to be the highest finisher from the tea rooms which means finishing above AHT

Ian the upside of a farm-out and news is on way the shares will hit 1 to 1.50p


When they go out there to drill i expect the share price to be between 4 to 6 depending on how many holes they drill and how many partners they have .


Watch this space and put me down for next year and last Friday topped up again with 20,001 shares am that sure this is going to happen.

Regards Markymar

AHT on the bounce after retracement! Its not over yet!

According to The Independent
http://news.independent.co.uk/low_res/story.jsp?story=593671&host=3&dir=94
The SAIC deal is due to be consummated at a formal signing ceremony at Longbridge in January.
so that's me out - although I was never formally a participant, I was enthusiastic throughout the year - January is too late - and Antonov's other partner put on their website today that they are moving to larger premises with space for production expansion, but that is double Dutch to anybody without the rose tinted specticles!

A snapshot, so people can see how things changed in the last few days!

MXC up 5% so far today - equivalent of about 25% on year start price - making a late dash for the line or shooting its bolt too early???

MXC RNS (believed to be vodafone) should seal this - up 12% on the day so far

Now up 24% today

Just a day and half to go and the three prize winners maybe:

Martincoops - MXC +627.42% (Second Choice FCL +50.56%)
oscar dodd - MXC +627.42% (Second Choice ZOO +14.89%)
bill22 - MXC +627.42% (Second Choice TRK -25.84%)

others who are close but not quite there yet, but all can change!

Fundamentalist - MXC +627.42% (Second Choice MDY -42.71%
Jeroo - MXC +627.42% (Second Choice IAL - 59.62%)
May - MXC+627.42% (Second Choice BKE -78%)
al100 - CYC +480.77%
colinc - DES + 448.84%
markymar - DES + 448.84%
