2024 NZX Stock Picking Comp

[Mrbuyit]

My pics are pretty much my portfolio, just missing USH, who would have thought the worst performer of the 5 would have been trusty old SPK.

In golf circles they call it "moving day" and Monday was just massive for the sharetrader competition, with unprecedented changes on the ladder for a single daily session. The rise in retirement stocks, particularly ARV which was the subject of a private equity offer announcement, and sister OCA which benefitted from some of the gloss spilling over and which was frequently picked together with ARV in portfolios, meant many entrants were up sharply, and curiously there were others less fortunate who fell significantly too.

I decided to mark the occasion by nominating the podium finishers who achieved the record one day rises - Bubble has Gold up 63 places, Ratkin silver up 62 and Gotagiggle bronze up 57. At least another eight or nine folk were up 40 or more - outstanding. Bearing the brunt on the downside is poor clip who had just last week relinquished the woodenspoon so inevitably will be a serious contender again cum Friday this week, falling 29 places, with Ricky-bobby in relatively close attendance.

I bet page views on this thread were high yesterday, especially after the market closed. Quite a few will be reassessing their prospects, and the number positive overall is the most it has been for months! What will today bring!

Good to see Baa_Baa in first, congrats.

It's been a stellar week so far, but my 'doggie bag' of picks are being outpaced, now back down to last place

Could go lower still, with MPG and PEB nearing binary outcomes with long odds.

My real portfolio is faring better, especially since I swapped my RAK+PEB for OCA+HGH with fortunate timing. But still in the red and waiting for that 'broke even' moment...

Not done yet today but movement continues. You need 18.22% to be Top 10, up over 7% in a remarkably short timeframe if you reread this thread.

Mrbuyit and carrom74 are still hanging in there but split now by MRS_CD_CHCH up a massive 52 places this week to now rest in 9th. Assuming female from the non de plume she clearly has family bragging rights over CD_CHCH and another entrant LD_CHCH. O to be at the dinner table tonight!

Waiuta has drifted marginally away to 5th and with What the stock showing no signs of imminent revival the leaderboard has a new look after 6 months of looking set to finish unchallanged up top. Actually it has become a dogfight up there.

Obviously there is more to come this week. Look to your laurels everyone.
