Stock Picker Challenge

You will notice that the stock picker challenge ranking and growths have just been changed, this is not due to the share price, but as a result that the dividends for the year-so-far have been added to the shares. I have to thank the guys that helped me get all the dividends! www.valueinvestorsa.com/stockpicker

this challenge is a nice illistration of what a dividend payout can do to your portfolio, i think many people dont realise that the small payments that people think are irrelevant can have a huge effect. I have to congratulate Electrox so far for a 30% profit, not bad... but still many months to come, interesting times lie ahead!

Unfortunately nobody can enter anymore, the challenge started on the 15th January and will end on the last day of the year. then early next year, we will announce the winner. and the next challenge might start, if we have one. so i guess you will have to wait for next year. sorry about that.

There is going to be a year when someone will choose a penny share that will fly from say 2c to 20c as it is not unusual and even N:149 will become winner for that year.
