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.

great comp, but remember the tortoise and the hare.

tad 200p, ptl 300p

i think 2 stocks is not enough for a comp like this because anyone can get lucky and hit a knutsford. i appreciate the work involved here in updating but a future comp should have a min of 5 stocks.

bullshare i agree with above,any chance of another comp for the last 6 months of the year with a 5 entry fee for a portfolio of 5 or 10 shares that way the longer term investor comes into play?

woodie : we plan to release a big comp. in June with big prizes. More details in a month or so . Idea would be to let you buy one stock a day but always have a minimum of 5 stocks invested.

bullshare excellent idea would it be for shares mag readers or only for this site? any other comments on this idea?

Shares and MoneyAM users

The BPRG train is rolling (sorry all seats taken)!!

meh

Hey bullshare, why am I not mentioned. I posted MNA = Monterrico Metals and BDY = Brazilian Diamonds?? please amend. Thanks

HPD has changed epic to PGD ... still down but not by 100% !

Pat

I see that IAP is shown as down 79.68%

MoneyAM seems to take ages to cope with share consoldition, split & epic changes!

Accounting for the IAP split IAP finsished 2003 at 311 & is currently 316. So a small rise is the true position.

I don't know if NTY is in the competition but it's another one that MoneyAM has not caught up with!
Look at a five day chart & you see a huge rise! If you allow for the 20:1 consolidation you will see a sizeable fall!

Are there really so many of these changes that MoneyAM can't keep up with them?

Incorrect data is worse than no data!

Many apologies for this - I will get the techies to look into it.

pwmiles and Red Underwing,
I've just refreshed the historical data for PGD and IAP.
NTY is on the list but I don't have a full set of data for it yet.
We don't yet have a completely foolproof way of automating the tracking of
corporate actions, so if you spot any others that have been affected by these,
please let me know.
