The Investor Challenge / Re: ETF vs the world
« on: May 15, 2013, 03:30:59 pm »
This competition is about the 'top performers', and that's most likely to be the person who makes the best bet on an individual company (or two).  In reality I wouldn't be that foolish.  I would (and do) stick to ETFs.  But seeing as this is just a game, it's all about "the punt" and I don't mind just throwing my money on a company like I would on a race horse.

I have been using the same stocks that I have in my real portfolio in the other competition since June and so far I have not been knocked off my perch as League Leader. I use the same stocks here too and am happy so far. Only 3 stocks and I am not being Foolish by punting my pension money.

 MTA read this post and is shooting the lights out now. Up 3.6% today. I must reprimand my stocks more often.

I really can't see why one would want to hide ones stocks other than to keep people from copying them the following year. Are we not here to learn and get tips and stuff?
I for one would benefit as I use historical performance in my choice of stocks.

Metair. You have been my worst performer over 12 months. Doing less than 40%????
If you don't wake up now, I will sell you and add to your room mate CML that has done 111%. Even your other roomy PNC is beating you by 20%.
It worked. She woke up at long last.

What concerns me more is that porno_ster is 48th and I am only 223rd . Thus he/she has a better job than me, and they are better at investing.... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
You being screwed pal. Porno is on top and you on the bottom.

Markets do strange things that we cannot fathom. Look at Black Monday in 1987 I think. If I remember correctly the Dow dropped 27% in 1 day and nobody knows why.

Hey Patrick .... u have adds ..... "Are you a Stock Investor?" ... nice congrats.... man......
Geeze. jaDEB is the most crazy investor on both forums. Hell bent on loosing all his grandmother's, mother's and brother's money. Plus his own.
Gold is heavy and sinks faster than a stone. Where are you on the Leaderboard? Oh. There. Right at the bottom. Last I saw you were on top. The stuff you smoking is off man.
Go for Real Stocks and make some money.

MTA not doing well lately but charts show that it should bounce back up again as of now if markets allow. If not, then I will sell and buy more CML and some OML on dips.
CML made a dip today but not enough. Normally if it dips just before close, it corrects back up the next day. This time it had a series of sales just at close that carried on after close???. Not sure how that works but will see tomorrow.

I'm sure Patrick is a school principal. He entered every pupil in this competition hence the 200+ entrants and only 4 posters on the site. ShareNet, after years has only attracted +- 20 entrants. :)

OK, ok, this is my story. 1st my screen goes blank, then before my screens comes on again I go blank, and fall of my chair. I have increased my medication, but is seems to do nothing. Thus I asked the IT department to have a look.
Tell the IT guys to look down by the bottom. They will find you there.
Get seat belts for your chair. Perhaps a parachute as well because falling from that great height you were at to the low you are at now in a split second will make one go blank.

One may suspect the administrator of some back-hand dealings in the database here.....?
 :) ;) :D ;D 8) ::)

Luckily my profile is public :)

It's getting lonely here in the 6% level. Not even anyone in the 5% level to keep me company. Must admit it was a fair amount of luck as I wasn't expecting CML to shoot the lights out like it has. On the plus side, it could have been my skill in avoiding resources!
You just lucky that I had trouble signing in for the competition and lost out some with CML. I would have been quite near you.

No Lehman Bros scenario repeat so no big retractment as in 50% as the other forum states.  A correction yes, but no repeat of the 2008/9 crash.
May has been a bad month for 3 years but we have lived through it without much damage. What will cause it? We have had bad news many times since the crash but revived very quickly.
