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.

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).

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.

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

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!)

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?

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

Does that mean the lettuce and cucumber went too?
Nothing wrong with Wiggie. Just fell foul of 9/11 or it would all be different now.
stockbunny
You are welcome to LLOY, every dog has it's day and it must surely be LLOYs sooner or later.
I see you are South of Watford, well that could be anything, little willie is South of Watford. Are you neighbours purchance?

I tried the teapot method but the ink ran on the paper.
