8 Ball - 12 Dec 2003 23:46 - 3236 of 23498

Could I go with 20,000 PTO long, 40,000 LLOY long. 20,000 MTN long.

snoball - 13 Dec 2003 00:26 - 3237 of 23498

Ah, little willy, I remember those Lonnie Donnegan days well. He was also one of my early favourites. Him and the Everley Bros.
Enough of this nostalgia.

This-is-me, how about buying the Mrs a book? She's probably intelligent and can read. You can get them in book shops. Look for something by a woman about Romance. Ask one of the female assistants. I wish you luck in your quest.

The lollipop is yours, but only just, it was Nancy Whisky. Help yourself to a lollipop from my private supply in Golddogds biscuit barrel,

A book is a good idea, can I suggest something like "Cookery for Absolute Beginners", that would be sure to excite some emotion! I did have some other thoughts, perhaps she might like the full dvd set of Band of Brothers or maybe a new electric drill?

snoball - 13 Dec 2003 09:57 - 3239 of 23498

Can someone explain how one goes about choosing a share for this competition? Does on have to read a balance sheet or something. I'm not very good at reading or figures.

Socrates - 13 Dec 2003 10:10 - 3240 of 23498

Snoball
Probably the easiest, and maybe even the most effective method, is as follows:

1. Take the share list page from a well known newspaper.
2. Pin it in front of a dart board.
3. Throw three darts at the board until they stick into it.
4. Select the shares nearest to the dart points.
5. Tell Golddog those three shares are your selection for the competition.


I wish you the best of luck, you will probably do much better than I will. (A small hysterical laugh is permitted at this point).

little willie - 13 Dec 2003 10:31 - 3242 of 23498

Socs, tried your tested method,
missed the bloody board three times!!

Socrates - 13 Dec 2003 10:32 - 3243 of 23498

Snoball
Whilst not admitting that the above method may not produce a winner, there is a balance to be drawn because the winner will be the person whoes shares make the most money. It only needs some-one to select a multi-bagger to win on the basis of one share.

Obviously choosing shares such as BARC or LLOY would be unlikely to be able to compete since they may put on, say, 50% at the outside and then only under a special circumstance i.e. take-over bid.

The winner is likely to be someone who selects a share that is currently out of favour, probably a small cap, which through some specific circumstance is about to take off. Possibly a new product that will be a must have with mega sales potential, or possibly a company that has previously bombed out but has been turned round by new management and returns much better than expected figures.

It all comes down to the risk-reward ratio, the higher the risk the greater the reward if it comes off, but also the less likey it is to happen.

There are many other reasons out there why a share may go into orbit but there are a few ideas to chew on.
All IMHO naturally.

I'm sure others can give you some ideas but if the competition had been run earlier then TDM, GOL, PDX might have given people a run for their money.

little willie
Note Item 3 on the list!

snoball - 13 Dec 2003 12:16 - 3245 of 23498

Thanks a lot Socs. I'll try the dartboard method. It sounds more reliable.

Golddog - 13 Dec 2003 12:22 - 3246 of 23498

I tried the dartboard method once but killed the cat! Not such a good idea.

Gianni, Hi. Regarding the game i like to keep it simple (like myself) so just select 3 ordinary shares please. Please help yourself to a drinky.

Everyone is welcome to play the Game and remember if you miss this weekend you can start anytime in the next few weeks at weekends only. (does that make sense?)
:-)

Bring on the Tea. (too early for booze). go on then just a wee drop of something warm in it! (no not that!)


This_is_me - 13 Dec 2003 14:41 - 3247 of 23498

GD if the dartboard method killed the cat everyone should try it. Ever since a caat ate Me budgies when I was little I've hated the brutes - the only good cat is a dead one.

Thanks for all the Christmas present ideas, particularly the sensible one from snow ball - obviously snow knows about Christmas! One idea I had was to buy her a Cheeky Girls video that we could watch together. What do you think?

This_is_me - 13 Dec 2003 14:48 - 3248 of 23498

GD

Could Me have:

NHP 35,000
VLX 30,000
AHT 15,000

in the game please.

Thanks for organising it - much appreciated.

snoball - 13 Dec 2003 14:52 - 3249 of 23498

Gd my darts turned up:
50K BOOT
15K BP
15K BAY
all long.
Thanks you.

Socrates - 13 Dec 2003 17:30 - 3250 of 23498

Never mind all this share talk, who's nicked the teapot?

little willie - 13 Dec 2003 20:30 - 3251 of 23498

Here is the vote from the South African judges:
40k BOI long
20k KWL long
20k SPS long

That concludes our vote
Danke

jeffmack - 13 Dec 2003 20:41 - 3252 of 23498

Ok here are my selections (ignore the previous cos I was trying to wind up Hilary but it didnt work)

20k LONG WGG
30k LONG ARM
30k LONG VOD

Socrates - 13 Dec 2003 22:01 - 3253 of 23498

Jeffmack
You old fraud, 20K long WGG? Whatever next? I bet you wouldn't do that with real money.

Socrates - 14 Dec 2003 07:48 - 3254 of 23498

Good morning bejaizus begorrah!

little willie - 14 Dec 2003 09:53 - 3255 of 23498

Morning Socs, what dragged you from your pit so early on a sunday morn?
had a couple of not so nice days her, poured with rain yesterday and today, overcast but warm.
Off out for some trough with friends at nearby bistro.
Mrs.lw returns to these shores early tommorrow, she's on the 'red eye' arriving at 6am so yesterday got the maid to scourt the house, top to bottom, clean sheets etc. clear all the bottles away and take anything green out of the fridge.

Funny how you and Jeffers have a loyalty to Wiggie after all the crap and dissapointments they've produced over the years; I guess its the local connection!!!!????
On paper it was a sound idea but hasn't done so to H.M. Govt. and thats what matters; should have bribed Tarzan, he'd have taken the bait to back it when he was in Govt.

As for the race track idea, sky and pies come to mind!!

Bit like me with old Bio not so compatible and Bio not so tech...lol
