SHREWD CRUDE, MACDUNK, STRAT, All started a who knows most competition on SHARECHAT which appears to be gone. The rules were one miner and one oiler starting on 19th nov 2007 for a period of one year. The selections and starting prices are as follows.

SHREWD CRUDE. VPE at 16c FML at 10c

STRAT, MHL at 3.3c AMU, at 67.5c

MACDUNK AGM at73.5c NWE at 26.5c

I hope sharetrader will allow us to continue the competition on this thread since sharechat has appeared to be gone in the forum section. Macdunk

Sharechat will be back as soon as someone sends them a fax to remind them its broken :p

However if Sharechat admin read this ;) Matt, I would really appreciate the chance to save some of the material from the forum before it is gone forever. lf it is on the way out may I request a little warning before hand.

Thanks in advance Matt

PS It was the Shrewd vs Macdunk Competition who have both probably forgotten more than I have learned about this game. I just joined in for the hell of it and prevent either of these two very proud fellas from coming last.:D:D:D

PPS I noticed Duncan you made no attempt to slither or beg on the ASX 2008 comp thread regarding changing your AGM pick. You failed as I did as expected,:cool:

STRAT

SEC being a fair minded person said yes. If you are not carefull i will change AGM to ADY SO THERE. Macdunk

UPDATE on our little competition guys which makes us look like we dont have a clue [some more than others].
1, MACDUNK is minus 4.24%
2, STRAT is minus 22.96%
3, SHREWD AND CRUDE is wait for it guys let the fanfares begin minus 32.94%

I blame SHREWDY for putting me wrong with NWE when he said it was a share he would recommend to his granny. It went from 26.5c to 14.5c.
Who are you blaming STRAT for your wonderfool effort with your two dogs.
SHREWDY you have to come back and explain yourself my man.

You've got all year MaccaD, but if NWE is back to 26.5c by comp close on 19th November 2008 then I, and many others, be very relieved!

Might I add if not for that left of field take over bid for AGM which Im sure you didnt see coming ( No BS now I know the time line to production was the reason you chose AGM ) your picks may have looked considerably worse:p;)

I on the other hand have no body to blame but myself so Im going to blame wonderfool Bush and the FED

trackers-Shrewdy just smoked ya on VPE macca

Hahaha... Its real classic Trackers... Mackdunk thought I was going to pick NWE so he rushed his pick in in an attempt to get it first...
He tried to second guess me...
But He is very smart, He wasnot playing the market he was playing his opponent...
His expansive pick forced me into picking a speculative Resource stock...
....
He read that I was very bullish on NWE but he forgot to take into account that I had sold all my NWE holdings one month before the competition started...And forgot to take into account that I was long gone when problems in production stage started...
...
And to think that he offered me a 5% head start if I picked NZO...

AGM got delisted from the ASX after the takeover...
Mackdunk Picked PRC... Pike River Coal to replace AGM....
The new price from his new selection was $2.08 set a few days ago...
AGM went from $.735 to $1.10 --> good pick mackdunk,
lets see how your next one performs, as it must do a mighty run or Wisteria coming through as a last chance high risk gamble...
...
Wisteria success or failure will determine if you bump me off the top or not... I hope for your sake that drilling is not delayed as that would spell ultimate doom...
Stuff this FML... what a joke that one has become...

Haven't we just had a crash? Tim only a downtrend the crash is still to come when China pulls the rug out from under America, after the olyimpics. The American economy has still to crash which will send shock waves through the markets world wide. MaCDUNK

Thanks - but theres more driving China than just the Olympics surely? TIM the most important thing in a chinamans life is saving face. Never when dealing with them make them lose face. I have done lots of deals with the chinese who are great people when you understand their ways. After the olympics, not before then look out for the crash. China takes over number one spot the resource market is being bought up right now for that to happen. Macdunk

Crypto Crude
15-06-2008, 09:38 PM
I like you mackdunk,
BUT the savage thing about all of this is it does not matter about what happens to China after the Olympics, because by then it will be game set and match in this competition...
I do believe that after US elections, and after Chinese Olympics something is brewing... Hopefully I will be out of the market by then... I plan to rip it all away, but you just never know when your facing mad undervaluation in the market place, in particular the CSG sector...

Your now trailing me by 20% in the competition mate...
and my resource pick is now down over 50%...
Dont worry about the markets... you taught me to play the player, not play the market...
Hence why I choose TRS in the NZX comp... haha...
hence why I choose URA in the ASX comp... haha...
...
thanks for the comp MD...
I hope for the sake of healthy competition that you can liven this up abit and put in a decent burst...
competition ends on closing prices on the 19th of November...
We are headed for an Anti Climax...

SHREWDY, STRAT. Have you made up your minds if i am allowed to have a choice in selecting a replacement for AGM which has now delisted. The last time you insisted on running a poll to see if i was allowed PRC which appeared to have been a non event. When you come forth and give me the go ahead i will come forth with my selection which might or might not be PRC now with a starting price at the time of posting and acceptance. You must be kickin yourself mate that you objected but everything being fair in luv and war {COMPETITIONS INCLUDED] I will wait your reply. Macdunk

duncan macgregor
16-06-2008, 02:03 PM
Since both you boys object to my prc selection i will select an AUSSIE coal miner with the price at 68c at this moment. Its one to keep close watch on lads much better prospects than PRC.
Select MEE on the ASX on the 16th of june at 2.55pm
Hope that will stop you fighting amongst your selves. Macdunk

I will explain all this off...
You have PRC and NWE....

The evidence on sharechat revealed that STRAT and your good self were running a poll to see if i was allowed PRC or not. I made it easy for you both by selecting MEE at 2-55 pm today at a price of 68c. You cant deny you two tried to run a poll so therefore MEE being an Aussie coal miner is my selection. Its a twistin and a turnin into a battle of wits. Macdunk

You fellas need to say what you mean and mean what you say.

Macca I didnt object to your choosing PRC. Whats more I made amendments to the proposed poll to give you half a chance to avoid being slaughtered by yor PRC friends here on ST. Meanwhile you have have ducked and dived around the details. You have avoided allowing a conclusion to the debate by failing to commit while at the same time failing to object.

Judge Judy has posted his verdict on SC :D

He has one that more than halved its price and another that is still a long way to go to double its price.

Been a bit busy.

How we gonna work this out? At the risk of starting a new debate this is how I see it. We all started with two stocks with a 50/50 equity in each. You had to sell down AGM ( at a profit ) and used that money to buy PRC which means in order for me to to show your overall performance I need some numbers. Sell price AGM. Buy price PRC. I can then work out the ratio betwen your two stocks and your overall performance to date.

You work out the percentage profit on AGM which gets added to the profit or loss on PRC. You cant take it in a situation like that and say you sold AGM at a profit then bought PRC with the profits. You are miles out with the numbers the Shrewd one is in negative territory. Your old mate KEEPINYAHONEST. Macdunk

STRUTH I have just looked up the prices and SHREWDY is in front. Imagine tailgating that guy for GAWDS SAKE.
1, SHREWDY , FML bought at 10c now 4.3c = - 57% What a bum pick.
VPE bought at 16c now 28c = +75% Lucky pick
2, Macdunk, AGM bought at 73.5c sold at 110c delisted +34% than bought
PRC bought at 208c now 233c = +12%
NWE bought at 26.5c now 15c = - 43% Shrewdies granny selection
3,STRAT, MHL bought at 3.3c now 1.8c = - 45% as bad as it gets.
AMU bought at 67.5c now 58c = -14%
There you go strat did a rough count it looks like Shrewdy and i are in positive territory which in this market is not to bad at all. Macdunk

Mackdunk,
I just looked back and seen your numbers...
they look horribly wrong...
You have to multiply each performance by .5 or divide by 2 (same thing), as each stock makes up half the portfolio...
Im honoured that you think im leading, but I actually worked it out that you are leading by .13 of a percent...
I worked out all the numbers to two decimal places...

Yes MD, I am cheating so that you are leading in the competition, what you said, was-"STRUTH I have just looked up the prices and SHREWDY is in front. Imagine tailgating that guy for GAWDS SAKE."....

Im being totally honest, by saying that its not true that Im leading, and infact you are, yah big dummy...

I notice you dont mention my second pick MEE which you forced me to select before you changed your mind back. MEE was 68c now 75.5c with much better prospects than PRC.
Not bad for an old fellah that cant count EH?. Three out of four in steep uptrends in a plummeting market and i would have gone for PPP if i hadnt decided to upstage you and your grannny recommendation. You two lads have only one out of four between you not to good for a couple of young guys. STRAT come out with the numbers at the end of the day lets keep it honest. Macdunk

why would I mention MEE...that pick came left field out the back of a garbage truck...

I think even you have surprised yourself this time mackdunk...:)
I found a couple of beauties over the weekend, im going to place a bid this morning...

.^sc SHREWDY, I see you have learned nothing from me in the last couple of years. A company only represents a means to an end. I dont care what a company is as long as it trends up. ITS THE MARKET I READ NOT A COMPANIES STUPID FUNDAMENTALS.
Why do you think that i am out the market?.
I told you six months ago that the market would downtrend leading to a crash. The market downtrended into a recession leading up to a crash which is coming. You still insist that because i say this or that about a stupid company that i should forget all about the herd perception of that company or sector. At least my mate STRAT knows that Macdunk would invest in a company making weapons of mass destruction if there was a quid in it.
We are here to win a bloody competition you and i by fair means or by fowl not preach on about ethics.
Thats why i invest its to make money nothing else matters. Macdunk

Mackdunk your right... I have not learnt much from you...
Look at my stocks... every single one of them is in positive teritory...
Only losing Oil position I lost this year was FAR where I went small and said so... Lost about two weeks of wages, ($500 in the end)...
Would have lost far more had I held....
Markets downtrending has infact been good news for the spec end of the oil industry, it has reduced the chance of a mighty crash...
A mighty crash is the only real worry...
Last thursday(?) the DOW fell over 300points, all my stocks were sideways....
I personally hope the DOW falls 100points a day for the next two weeks....
Look man, Im a fundamental sort...
With resource stocks, Im a gambler...
Im going to learn Technical analysis eventually... I just don't know when....
You make money your way in an up trending market,
I make my money my way, in any market (apart from a crashing market)...
The market has not crashed...
I am happy...

.^sc SHREWDY, I have given you three resource stocks out in this competition that are all winners. My only loss is on your recommendation to your granny. Take a look at MEE forget the competition. You told me to select another resource stock when AGM delisted which i did. You then tried to hold a poll to see if i was allowed that stock. I then made it easier for you by selecting another stock that you would not object to. You then did an about face and said i had to take the stock that you objected to.
After all that you say that i am not ethical when it was you who changed the rules and did all the objecting.
You then insult my good friend STRAT by calling him an old woman in the form of judge judy to preside over your shady competition. Interesting competition mate. I would hate to see you trying to organise a sh*t fight in a cow shed. Macdunk

mackdunk,
I have explained the NWE issue more than one hundred times now...
I explained it quite clearly before, SO I will now cut and paste what I have previously said So we don't have to waste any more of our Time...



Yes you may have a go at me for your mistakes with NWE, I did not make any... I actually played that company aswell as you played some of your resource plays EG Summit...
You aint got nothing on me Mackdunk...
keep snooping, dig harder, try and find something more than just 'NWE recommended to my grandma'...

Yes NWE was recommended to my grandma at that time when I posted it... "At that time", every indication pointed to full field production from the Puffin Fields in NE and SW at flow rates enought to put NWE at 50 cents per share, NPV (easily)...
it was 50c NPV at oil prices 40% lower...

We had all the flow testing results, I followed AED's reports of confirmed successful flow rates in the NE (majorly successful actually)... it all pointed to a good project... (just like Tui)... But AED happened to stuff it up at the completion end of the Project... NE Puffin was expected to flow at 35,000-40,000 BOPD...what we got was 6,000 BOPD... which came in big time under the gun.... but yet you shoot yours off like an AK47...
When first signs of Puffin field problems came to the market, Both AED and NWE started to run into big problems... at that stage I sold everything, and got laughed at on NWE SS for selling as low as 22c but got out average 25c, after going 'All in' at 16.8c ave...
NWE then ran to 35cents quickly after id sold... it then came down to 25cents... at that stage you tipped it in the comp.......
you picked little Norwest on the way down, you mug...
you said never to buy a stock in a downtrend!

You went into NWE Blind, mackdunk...
The old NWE and the new NWE were totally different and all the posts I made in the past therefore production effectively meant nothing...

The Real signal was when I sold one month before our competition started....
Take that for ethics....

Sometimes things change in the market, and as an investor you have to change with those times...
Mackdunk, you made a great move by selling your crappy resource stocks and running to cash.... what you should have done was sold those stocks and bought Oil....
Strat and I, and many many others have had the best run's we have ever had...
I am in a much better position now than if I had of Sold my oilers at 25-30k, and bought a house at 250k....
Now that house is worth 220k and my portfolio is worth 45-50k....
When this is over that 250k house will be worth 180k
Ive already saved 5-10 years off my future house Total loan term....
Winning this competition will just sweeten the deal....

mackdunk, yourve been towing the Grandma NWE line for awhile now...
I suggest you dig something else up on me....
Last week AED came out with some promising signals to your NWE investment (not mine)...
it appears as though YOUR pumping little company wil takes its share in drilling AC/P22 NE and possibly SW, before the comp ends...

If you really want to be smart...
Read the AED presentation, and tell us what you think it means for NWE before The comp ends on 19th November...?
You have AC/P32 before then (very high risk)..... just how our mate mackdunk likes to play it....
. most likely two wells in AC/P22...(SW, NE)...
And a shot at a Takeover...

AGM got delisted from the ASX after the takeover...
Mackdunk Picked PRC... Pike River Coal to replace AGM....
The new price from his new selection was $2.08 set a few days ago...
AGM went from $.735 to $1.10 --> good pick mackdunk,
lets see how your next one performs, as it must do a mighty run or Wisteria coming through as a last chance high risk gamble...
...
Wisteria success or failure will determine if you bump me off the top or not... I hope for your sake that drilling is not delayed as that would spell ultimate doom...
Stuff this FML... what a joke that one has become...
:cool:
.^sc HEY STRAT this is how i see it.
AGM $5000 bought 6802.721 shares at .735 each
got delisted at $1-10 which is then worth $7482.9931

PRC was bought at $2-08 with $7482-99 giving 3597.59 shares which are now worth $2-38
or $8562.26. This gives a profit on $5000 of$3562-26 or 71.24% on my initial resource selection according to SHREWDY. No doubt the SHREWD one will come back bleating about this or that trying to change the rules so i rely on your being a fair minded person to stick the boot into him if he starts squacking. Macdunk

mackdunk-
STRAT you dont do it like that. You work out the percentage profit on AGM which gets added to the profit or loss on PRC. You cant take it in a situation like that and say you sold AGM at a profit then bought PRC with the profits.

this is what strat said, and mackdunks reply to what strat said...
at that point mackdunk instantly
Mackdunk has seriously put his foot in it with this quote from page 3, as he now whats to change his mind as he has seen a path to sneaking bigger returns...
Why should mackdunk be allowed to leverage his Position into PRC when I cant leverage at all?
Its not the way to do business... and mackdunk knew it, and said otherwise...
What mackdunk said in the above post is a complete contradiction of mammoth proportions to his worked numbers above.......
weapons of Masdunk destruction...

Mackdunk..
where on Earth did you get $5000 from... At no point so far have we used dollars... At no point were shares included... We did not start the comp with any shares...
It was always about percentage returns...
Read the rules on sharechat, on the first page... Quote" two stocks each having a 50% portfolio weighting"....
AGM would give you a 50% leverage into all your PRC returns which is unjust.....
mackdunk, time to be honest...
Why change your mind now?

SHREWDY, I only reverted back to what STRAT said earlier on about getting delisted then sticking the money on the next selection. Far be it from me to try and influence our mate STRAT. I only used figures to make it easy for him to work out a percentage.
You forget one very important thing that i will take as a compliment to my selecting ability and that is sticking all my winnings on the second pick, as i would do in real life. It can work for or against me.
I notice you dont say anything about the other selection i made, when you objected to PRC.

I say this because there can not be a court case if one of us has nothing to challenge... You never challenged it, I did not... therefore, whats to take infront of the court...? leave my mate strat out of this...

Mackdunk, lets say for example that you commited a crime..
If I got a tape recording of you admitting the crime, and then you went before the court, you would get the death sentence for changing your story..... You would get savaged after this piece of evidence came forward...

Oh, and it cant work against you, PRC is a winner... SHREWDY, In real life as you know i said the market would downtrend leading up to a crash and removed my funds from the market. I also said the NZ dollar would downtrend so left my funds in Australia. Some people now say the market is crashing my funds have had about 13% gain in exchange rate since being there. Getting back to the competition if you only take the resource side of it with the two companies now involved then if you stop and think about it i changed nothing. The monetry figures quoted were only a laymans way of coming up with a percentage. Add the percentage rise of AGM from the start to when it got delisted to the percentage rise of PRC from the day AGM was delisted up to now and you will come up with the same answer. The percentage rise on that half of the competition is exactly the same. If however you think you dont have a chance of winning with me on PRC then i am quite prepared to still take MEE which was 68c at that time, You notice our mate STRAT is lying low at the moment letting us scrap it out before he bomes back with the big stick.

I think you are confused abit with how this works...
let me give you an example...
lets round it off and say that AGM rose 50%...
Lets assume PRC finishes the competition at $3.00... to make it easy lets say PRC was first picked at $2.00...

I am saying that AGMS rise is 50%/2.... the 2 stands for the portfolio weighting of half...PRC would also be 50%/2 as 2->3..... 50%/2 + 50%/2= 50% return for that side of the comp...

You are saying 50/2= .25 weighted return for AGM, (plus 1 to get finishing weighting of AGM) multiply by post PRC return ... equals 1.25*1.50= 1.875-1= 87.5%

you are squeezing 37.5% overall performance out of me because you are leveraging PRC off AGM, which is not what this competition is about...
its about a 50% resource 50% oil...
This will bumper up your resource weighting which is fake...


You are multiplying AGM performance against PRC.... AND NOT adding the two together like I am... ...
be honest with yourself mackdunk, confess...
its two stocks with 50% each as to the rules we agreed on...
Your now trying on some other sort of competition...
Using leverage, using greater weightings on the resource side of the comp....
Have a think about it... I am correct...

I can then work out the ratio betwen your two stocks and your overall performance to date. SHREWDY i am only giving you the numbers according to STRATS ruling.
AGM .735c according to you delisted at 110c = 36.5c gain = 49.65
prc 208c according to you now 238c = 30c gain = 14.42% = total of 64.07% less whatever your stupid NWE cost me. However in the real world when AGM got delisted all the funds would have gone on the next company which is only fair and reasonable giving me a higher return of 71.24% which STRAT in his wisdom will come back at you and tell you how wrong you are. Macdunk

Crypto Crude
02-07-2008, 02:43 PM
What do you mean by, from strats ruling... he has not made one yet...
....
From that it looks like we are both in agreement,
But....
because AGM is 50% of the portfolio, you divide it by 2, or multiply it by .5
so... 49.65/2=24.83% increase...
add in PRC from 2.08 to 2.38 =.3/2.08= 14.4/2= 7.21% add them up...
32.04%...
NWE 26.5 to 15.5 --> minus 41.51%/2= -20.75%

OR.....+49.65%, +14.4% minus 41.51%= 22.54%/2= 11.27%....
somewhere you have to divide by 2... I will leave it up to start....

32.04% less 20.75%= 11.29%.... hum... your slowly increasing your lead mackdunk...

The gain i made on AGM is locked in when i was forced to sell. Being forced to sell meant that i was forced to select another company according to you.
All your initial stake is at risk in this competition why shouldnt mine. If the market collapses you could lose the lot. I would still have the profit from AGM which gives me an unfair advantage over your good self. I being a fair minded person i should risk the lot on my second resource stock giving you an equal chance when the market collapses.

Mackdunk, Im only taking what you are saying in words, Im not twisting what you are saying, I did not hold a gun to you.. I let you speak freely, and again, the above quote clears everything up... theres no need to pursue this further, you have explained everything just fine.... What happened was you thought through this as the fair way to run the comp, after going away and thinking about it, you realised that your performance would be hampered on what we agreed on, so you conviently changed your whole tactics and changed your story 100%...

If your pike goes up 2c, your performance inproves by 3 cents through leverage... because AGM rose 50%....

I totally understand your point of view, I totally understand why you have changed your story because you did not realise the consequences of Being fair and saying "strat, you dont do it like that", "this is how it is done", " you add profits not multiply profits"...quote....
Its wrong, and you know it, and you said it unbiased at first until you realised leverage would make you a packet more...
Chill out and be happy that you got PRC at 50% resource, 50% oil...
Not 75% resource and 25% oil...

Macca replied

The Only thing that i would like to add SHREWD one is that you must actually hold your selections at the time the game starts. That gives you one day to find a decent minerhttp://forum.sharechat.co.nz/images/smilies/biggrin.gif. JEEZE it looks like i must spend five bob and buy a stupid oiler. My miner for the long term of a year that i expect to go from todays price with 100% safety of being in the blue is AGM. It starts producing shortly it has everything in place and is in line for a take over play. Money where the mouth is i say at least a fifty pc gain in twelve months. Oiler i will think about and post tomorrw. HEY MATE can I be the REF?. Macdunk

This was the last performance up date

10/05/2008

Macca
NWE buy 26.5 current 18.5 70%
AGM buy 73.5 current 110.0 150%
Overall 110%

Shrewdy
VPE buy 16.0 current 21.5 134%
FML buy 10.0 current 5.8 58%
Overall 96%

Strat
MHL buy 3.3 current 1.7 52%
AMU buy 67.5 current 59.5 88%
Overall 70%


This is how I see it.

The intent behind the competition
To see who can come out on top with an oiler and a miner with a 50/50 split. Each of you got to choose a stock in your preferred field and one in the others preferred field.

Macca chose AGM which has since been delisted.

The comp was for a set period with no % of the initial investment to be added or removed for the duration. We could have made Macca hold the sell down value of AGM to the end of the comp which could be construed as fair but it was agreed by all he could have a second pick so it is reasonable to assume therefore that any gains made from AGM would be reinvested in PRC.

Before I post the update I should point out Macca that AGM bowed out at $1.09. Not $1.10

From Direct Broking
CompanyCodeChangeLastBuySellHighLowValueVolumeTrds AllegianceAGM.ASX (https://www.directbroking.co.nz/DirectTrade/dynamic/quote.aspx?QQSC=AGM&QQE=ASX)https://www.directbroking.co.nz/DirectTrade/images/spacer.gif109

In addition Shrewdy you posted this which means the exchange rate at the time needs to be taken into account. I will not add in brokerage because no money value on the purchases has ever been stated.

Since you picked the Share price Yesterday, Ive gone off todays open price... I think its the same as the close the night before...
SO
Mackdunk is now PRC (NZX) at $2.08, and NWE...
This NWE will cost Mackdunk the competition if AC/P32 two hundred million barrel target, comes up dry...

Once I determine the exchange rate at the time I will post an update

AGM went from $.735 to $1.10 --> good pick mackdunk,

.^sc STRAT, SHREWDY has it wrong again. We are all investing in the ASX get the price of PRC on the ASX at the time AGM delisted. I would not in real life bring money back from Australia into a down trending NZD. Forget about the exchange rate keep it all on the ASX where we all have our selections.
I suppose SHREWDY will object to that as well. Its not going to be a pretty sight when the crash hits but who cares its only you two playing the market. Macdunk

Mackdunk,
I have explained off all this before...
You took PRC fair and square, You left and did not leave a second pick, so We had no choice but to leave you with PRC... the ethics behind that carry on therefore stood for nothing...
I dont care who refs this gun battle... But one thing for sure, is Strat made his judgement... and I will clear up his judgement with numbers (hopefully over the weekend)... whoever takes over in the judge department will be starting with a clean sheet...

Competition update...
Here it goes in order of performance...

mackdunk.... #1 position....leader of the pack...

NWE 26.5c ->11.5 ..... -56.6%......half of portfolio (divide by two).... -28.3%
AGM 73.5c à$1.09...... +48.3%

AGM got taken over, and Mackdunk wanted PRC on the ASX...
on SChat post 95 the date for mackdunks PRC purchase was on 10th of June...
I did a yahoo Stock ticker check and scrolled through the historical data to find the matching price on that date as Mackdunk was given PRC-NZX... Two months later he wanted it changed to ASX....
perhaps some transaction fees to convert NZX to ASX holdings..:D...
so....

PRC $1.65->1.54minus 6.67%

I have accepted that Mackdunk has taken all the profits from AGM and re-invested them into PRC ASX, therefore I have multipled the Performance of AGM (of its 50% portfolio weighting) by PRC's total performance...
as PRC is returning minus 6.67% I have minused .0667 from 1 to get .9333
and likewise for agm by adding (taken into acc portfolio weighting at that stage)...

1.483*.9333=(1.384%-1) increase of 38.4%/2=19.2%

19.2%-28.3%=-9.1%

To prove that 19.2% return for Mackdunks resource selections are correct I will provide an example using numbers so that the two old timers will have no problems understanding the seemingly hard but easy problem...
so $500 in NWE... and $500 in AGM (half each)...

$500 of AGM at 73.5 buys 680.27 shares which are worth 741.42 upon takeover value...which then buys 449.35 PRC shares at 1.65
which now makes those Pike shares at 1.54 worth 692... (2DP)...
which show a 19.2% return from his resource stock selections...

500 AGM at 73.5=680.27....680.27*1.09=741.42
741.42/1.65=449.35
449.35*1.54= 692
(692-500)-192....192/500=.384%/2=19.2%

$500 NWE=1886.79*.115= hahaha... I mean, it equals... 216.98
692 plus 216.98=908.98
(908.98-1000)/1000=-9.102%

Both Methods are exactly equal... do you confur Mackdunk?

Shrewd Crude, (2nd to last)...

VPE 16c->21.5 34.4%/2=17.2%
FML 10c->3.1 -69%/2=-34.5%

17.2%-34.5%= -17.3%

Strat -dead last, ( with a bucket of oil)



MHL 3.3c-> 1.2 =-63.6%/2=-31.8%
AMU 67.5c-> 48.5 =-28.15%=-14.075

-31.8+-14.075=-45.88%



mackdunk minus 9.1%
shrewd crude minus 17.3%
strat minus 45.88%


congratulations mackdunk...
Please check that my figures are correct, and post here (for evidence if we need to come back to it at a later stage)...

If we add in exchange rate gains, then our performance improves... (well, perhaps not for mackdunk while he was PRC NZX for two months before he bothered to say anything)...
exchange rates on the day the comp started have gone from 1 NZ dollar buying .8507 AUS to .815 (ish)...
perhaps at the end of the comp I will show our overall performance with exchange rate gains in an attempt to skew our results up so they look better...

hey all... thanks mackdunk and strat for the competition...

this one year competition was a highly entertaining comp, and at times it was a farce... twists turns... Strat had to become judge 'judy'...
in the end he left his duty and stayed out of it... hehehe...

There was a whole bunch of debate that was made a whole lot more complicated when mackdunk original pick AGM and it got taken out by Zinifex...
He delayed his new pick when the markets were tanking (and went on holiday for a week), he picked Pike PRC when he should not have be allowed to... he rushed in real early on picking NWE when he thought I was going to pick it, which I never was... hehehehe...
we debated about how his AGM performance should be attached to the competition..
He said that his total AGM return (half the portfolio) should be put into his PRC investment (effectively leveraging his position, which was totally unfair)... I said no no no... ie while holding PRC for every 1 cent pike went up, his overall return went up 1.48 cents... which was unfair...
he said yes yes yes... so effectively his leveraged position cost him the competition when pike fell 50%, whereas had he not reinvested the whole amount into Pike then he would have won hehehehehehe...

Thanks mackdunk for the comp... I will never again compete with you like this where I have to pick a resource stock...

do you want to compete again next year for a one year comp but we can both pick two stocks of any sector?

same as last comp but
we can choose any two stocks...
this time it will not be restricted to one resource stock, one oil stock...

each stocks hold 50% weighting of portfolio...
If there is a takeover, a new stock is picked and leveraged off takeover price (ie- total funds reinvested)...
also, I am coming to Auckland in June for the Tua Cameron fight, so standings at the end of May will require the loser at the end of that month to buy the other a beer when I show for the auck meeting (you did not buy the poor uni student a drink last time):D....I will ahve to win one off yah... hehehe...;)

You taught me well mackdunk, to play the player and all that...
to wait until the last moment to submit and gather all information...
...just like last time I will let you come out of the gates all guns blazing by letting you choose the stocks first...hehehehe
This way I get a better idea on what risk return profile I need to aim for.....
hehehe...
outsmarted the fox...

hey, no judge this time... we can sort this all out between ourselves...

Comp starts on opening prices on first trading day of 2009...

You are likely to go out and make two commodity positions, and I will have to follow you...

SHREWDY its pointless being in a competition in something that you dont do in real life. You pick two of whatever you are doing and i pick two of whatever i am doing. It must be something with an easy to work out price like shares, Gold, Silver, etc or some other commodoty with an easily recognised price on the open market. You might want shares in a company i might want something other than that. As long as the price at the start and end are open and fair for all to see in an easy way to work out then alls fair. I see the share market going no where next year you might see it different so lets have a real competition. Whatever you choose must have an easy to buy and an easy to sell price. Macdunk

Firstly,
I wrote up a big long post describing all... But then I thought, hummm whats the point in telling you the tricks of the trade.......

Mackdunk wants an open competition on anything we can price "in real life", "openly described by the open market"....

I then thought well I can openly price anything I want... (a can of worms)
mackdunk--->I can lock in guaranteed profits...
so ok, I will out smart you if you want to play like that...
I will have my picks in at 928 am (ASX time) on the first trading day of 2009 if you want to play like that...
but mackdunk,
whats the point?

we can price anything you want... as a hint I can price TV's and candy from the local store on open and closing prices if you want to play like that...?

but then we are getting silly...

so why not keep this real, and keep this open to the sharemarket as we have played...? if you want to get silly, then we can play a silly comp for fun?...

this is and always has been about the sharemarket...
If you want me to steal candy from a baby then just say go go ga ga...

mackdunk,
I want to give you one last warning on where you are heading this competition, because yes...! this is a competition between you and me, and decisions are between you and I...

If you want to go down this line then thats ok...
I give you one last chance to reconsider...



You can not outsmart me...
Before you head down that line, I will say right now that I can lock and load guaranteed profits of 100% minimum... and I will post pictures and all to prove it... let the imagination run wild...

its up to you?

SHREWDY first of all if i buy a tv on the first of jan to sell it in dec i would run at a substantial loss. I would prefer to keep it a competition where your money is where your mouth is. That is for instance if i bought an oz of gold on the open market to later sell it on the open market in an easy for all to see the common price. Like i said at the start of this year the market would downtrend leading up to a crash but still entered the competitions to watch my predictions come true. Whatever you buy must be on the open market to everyone at the standard price for all to see in something beyond dispute.
The time to get smart is when all around you is acting dumb to blind to see opportunities in a crashing market.
You might like to stick your money on in a downtrending market trying to pick the bottom but i like in times of turmoil, buy material things that you can see to hold, and gain value. Dont chicken out mate start thinking for a change or i will get STRAT back to talk some sense to you. Macdunk

mackdunk,
no need to get strat in here... he will only run away when this heats up...
... I can get reliable quotes from sources...
I will buy a kilo of something and supply a docket...
I will take a photo of what im buying and the price will be in the photo...

There will be a price given that all others can refer to...
So mackdunk, its not what I want, its what you want...! I am happy to accomodate your suggestion...
I will make a monkey out of you, oh oh ah ah... so again im warning you to not let me outsmart you... and thats exactly what I would do...
Keep this simple, and the way we have played this...
or run the risk...
The ball is in your court...
I strongly suggest you reconsider...
hehehehe....

Fair enough Shrewdy it must be something bought on the open market like we would do in real life with a bought price followed by a sell price which is on the open market. Example might be the price of gold for instance on the open market which has a price for all to see.
That is a real life situation when you think the market will downtrend.
I will stick my two selections on straight after christmas in something that in real life i may or may not be doing. Good luck mate might come down and see my mate tua knock your young fella over myself. and buy you a cold one. Macdunk

.^sc Lets open it up SHREWDY to a bit more of real life. Lets have three selections of What you are doing in real life, its pointless to say two or three stocks if you are right out the market expecting the market to down trend. The only thing is it must be in an open market with prices easy to to work out. Nothing allowed where its a debateable price.
I will go first with one of my first three To give you the idea.
1, I am buying oil with my first pick.
To make it fair and get it in context i will pick the lowest price in the warehouse per litre of 20- 40 engine oil on the last day of the year to the last day of the following year.
That is in real life something that i have done in a much larger scale.
I might pick a stock or some other of my investments in real life so make it as many as you like as long as its not more than three. I dont mind if you win as long as i win in real life like i did this year by staying right out the market much against your advice. Macdunk

Maybe next year that free taster is gone so Id have to pay for it...
so thats infinity return on investment... 0->say 10 cents a cherrio or whatever...

I wont pick two stocks SHREWDY the market is crashing about to get worse like i have told you all year long. I bought barrels of oil in real life plus some other material things that you might have been interested in if you had an open mind. This crash is going to worsen you are welcome to pick two stocks. I only suggested the material price of 20-40 engine oil at the warehouse as something to gauge the buy sell price from. Will America bail out the auto industry throwing good money after bad or will they have massive unemployment?.
If you want a contest stick your money where your mouth is and lets have a real contest not some stupid make beleave farce. I cant find one stock in the market today that gives me any faith in a positive one year return that beats the bank. Macdunk

I agree with keeping with the real world, but lets be honest. McDunk is right. But then there would be no sharetrader competition. However Shrewdy, I might be interested. I agree two shares. I must admit that fortune has not favoured me well, and my most recent investment in the sharemarket is faring poorly.

One is telecom (around 15k) and one is a gold speculative share. (around 1.5k) (less now)
(...plus dividend)


How much detail do you need to provide, and what is the minimum bet?

I suggest you provide detail when you trade. Its the buy and sell price of something that is open and above board on the first and last trading days of 2009. I gave SHREWDY that i was in to barrels of engine oil. I suggested that be counted at the lowest price per litre of 20-40 engine oil on the last trading day of each year in the warehouse which is easy to check. SHREWDY in turn only wants shares in a downtrending market and is stuck in his one sector market losing heaps. I might think gold or silver or have a gold mining company on the market but he wants to get stuck in a losing grove with rail track thinking. Get with it SHREWDY, open your mind up, you lost your chance on property with low deposits, broaden your horizons. Macdunk

.^sc SHREWDY, In real life you buy something to on sell it at a profit. Like i told you i am in the process of buying barrels of processed lubricant. To come to a fair buy and sell price we will take the cheapest price at the warehouse for 20-40 engine oil on the last trading day of each year. That will be one of my selections the other will be the gold price. The share market is not a place for my money right now so why bother in make beleave. I only intend to select what i intend investing in and thats material assets simply because thhe monetry system is in a very risky state of flux about to worsen. Macdunk

.^sc HI shrewdy sorry that i am late, so will allow you to fix the prices.
As you know i think that the market this year will go no where, so i will stick to the reality of what i actually invest in without going in to detail.
PPP invested in Australia simply because of the take over potential.

My second selection is based on what i actually did. Barrels of processed engine oil which follows closely to the prices of crude percentagew wise.

my last investment is money in the bank at 8% in Australia think rather than have a competition on what you and i dont do, we should keep it to what we actually try and do. , the oil price, plus the PPP price Shrewdy thats how i see 2009.
Remember Shrewdy its picking the market that counts. not thinking you are right and the market got it wrong.
No arguments from me SHREWDY stick the prices up mate.
Hope you learned to pick the market from last year and not to get bogged down in stupid PE or fundamentral crap that flies out the window in times like this.
Material things hold their value over time learn to understand that mate money is only a promise to pay. Macdunk

SHREWDY, I wont go in to detail of what i do in private business when most of you are to scared to even use your real name. The sharemarket will have a bad year so no point in me selecting companies for the sake of it when i dont invest like that in any case.
Pick what you like out of this lot.
1, OIL is $42-75 todays price a barrel I bought barrels of high grade engine oil in real life with a price that is closely tied to the market price.
2,ASB in NZ todays rate is 7.43% I have a higher rate in AUSTRALIA bought last year.
3.Silver $11-10 at todays price.
4 GOLD $853-85,
I pay tax on shares so dont complicate things. The market is heading down in 2009 you would be wise to rethink your high risk investing style.

hey Mr Mackdunk aka the fed express....
so for this years comp I will compile the complete list...

There are some examples where shares are and are not taxed, so we will keep share untaxed (my shares are tax free)...
and I will assume Mackdunk has WTI crude at $42.75 US...

So,

CUE 10c
HZN 14c
NZO (NZX) $1.28

I take it SHREWDY that we dont play your little game with any kind of reality to what we do in real life. I had gold and silver from day one which you ignore. You in real life lost half your bank on CUE and will shout about winning if you get half your loss back. I only selected PPP simply because of cash in the bank with a likely take over looming otherwise i would have selected nothing.
I look on the monetry system is in a high risk area of total collapse. You can be as smart as you like but i think you will run at a loss over the length of the competition.
Material assets that will hold their value in whatever system of exchange eventuates when this mess of debt gets sorted. Remember it was me that timed the downtrend leading to the crash almost to the exact day. Hope for your sake my next prediction is wrong about total collapse. I sit on the fence laughing at you taking all the risks. Macdunk

we dont need a ref...


Mackdunk is a complete mad hatter...
I wanted a 2 pick comp on shares only... mackdunk came back over the top saying 'what I would do in real life picks'...
he wanted 3 picks of anything...

so I thought fair enough....
wasnt happy...
but still agreed to change the rules to accomodate his conservative needs...
... Now that the DOW is at ultra lows and my stocks havent fallen a heap, infact NZO up easy 10%, CUE up 11.5%, and HZN down 10% he wants to blow his trumpet....

He thought he could beat me with 7% interest in the bank...
hahahaha....
mackdunk... 3 picks... you clearly chose interest in bank, PPP (at an expensive price), and oil....

leave gold and silver for the discussion threads...
they mean nothing here....

mackdunk,
you badger me about this point...
NO IM GLAD, I NEVER LISTENEN TO YOU
Im happy with my decision...
Im feed up with you on this point...
yourve gone into over kill.... I have explained this off probably something like One dozen times...
when will you let it rest?
I made my own decision and I did get off the market in late 2007 (entirely), but then got back on because I had a company which was suppost to be a hedge against the market falling.... but its key project got delayed...

had I listened to you I would have bought a house with that money, and now id technically be negatively geared losing money in a falling house market leveraging my money into bankruptcy paying excessive interest costs of a fixed term house.....
so am I happy I listened?

you would have finished me off before I grew out of a grub...

you have lost in the market crisis, with your excessive costs of fixed term mortgages......


2008 I lost money...
2009 making it back....

CUE already rebounding...
read the thread, and read the ann today....
a fairytale dream mackdunk, that you wont tamper with...
this is my dream...
and im going to show you how to do it in the grips of dispear all around...
I will finish you off in the comp...
and I hope after two nil, that you will still come back for more....

STRAT, When i was an apprentice carpanter i thought i knew the lot and my boss was only a silly old bugger. It was a surprize in later life to think back and realize that it was me who was the silly bugger. SHREWDY will look back in later life and remember all the things he argued with me about and think i might not be as silly as he thinks right now. He thinks its a cop out to see a crash coming and get out the market. He thinks its stupid not to lock in a mortgage at an affordable rate even although that in the short term you might lose.
He also thinks that he makes right decisions all the time and loses half his money without a stop loss.
All those mistakes he makes now thinking how right he is will slowly change when harsh reality of share market crashes and 20% mortgage rates out the blue hit just as it has done for me in the past. We like to stretch the point young SHREWDY and i so no worries sit on the fence and keep the young punk honest. Macdunk

mackdunk,
I dont think your silly...
I think you are an annoying flea...
You obviously chose the wrong career path...
you would have become a very successfuly interrogator...
guantanamo bay styles...

As I pointed out interest rates of 20% are the thing of the past, never to be seen again...
interest rates that high rely on high inflation, which has been curbed for ever with the PTA...
even more so in the current climate with inflation falling over the medium term, you should have known better...
a costly experience...

back in those days of high inflation-> high interest rates, having a house was a great advantage...
you bought a house with a set mortgage, that mortgage was erroded away by high inflation....
back when 3 yearly incomes paid for the house... oh what a dream...
that dream will come back around, just got to be patient, and enter at the right time...
house purchasing and fundamentals are completely different for the first home buyer, as small differences for you (such as 9% interest rates compared to 5% interest rates), and saving 100k on the house, can actually save the first homebuyer 15 years off the total loan term on the mortgage...
you still dont get it

Mackdank... you came out the gate running this month...

You are leading well mate...
At this stage id say im a big favourite heading into the 2nd half of the year when I factor in Manaia, and that will add real value to these companies of HZN and CUE for my portfolio picks... and Id say I have a good chance of swinging my portfolio up to 40% return later this year... and more than that when Kupe comes online...

You will be desperate for PPP to be taken over...
interest in the bank is nothing...
or oil prices will have to run... oil prices are in a good uptrend this year...
this will support my three companies, so 50% min portfolio return with oil higher for me......
If PPP gets taken over for 40c...
oil goes to 70... and your low 7% interest rate...
then you will finish up around 35%....
So its not looking good for you...


You chosing interest in bank as a pick for the competition, will ultimately cost you this competition...
If the market crashes again, then we will be about even...
but then, id expect you to give some back when oil prices would fall on thatl...
Then id be leading again...

The objectivity of successfull investing relies on having funds available to exploit the market so dont make the mistake of rubbishing bank deposits.

SHREWDY, I hope you at least will not take offence, and look back on our little skirmishes as a learning curve in your investment strategies. First of all i like to say what i do when i do it with reasons for doing so. This sometimes makes me very unpopular, especially when it goes against popular beleaf.
I said the market would downtrend leading to a crash, I also said that you had no sell strategy, and invested like a fundamental in love with a company like a SNOOPY going down in flames, shouting the world is all mad except me.
You bought in real life CUE at 21.6c and are now boasting about how clever you are when they crawl back up to 15c in our competition, and how stupid i was only getting 7pc plus capital gain. I told I bought oil, I told you I was out the share market as i see the real crunch will come sooner than later. I also told you gold, and silver and material assets are what to hold.
You might not like what i say, but give it time then think back in hindesight and judge me on that.
Most of the time we dont agree, but in real life that is what makes us so much alike, we are not afraid to have a go.
If i had have half your enthusiasm about finance at your age, i would own half the world. Alas having half a brain i enjoyed most of my life having a good time and dont regret it.
I dont need money I have good health, a happy family, and great friends, thats all we require in life so I look forward to all our upcoming skirmishes you young whipper snapper.
Gold and Silver Shrewdy, Dont overlook them when the real crunch comes.

1) im proven right...
2) information comes which is bad...

its really as simple as that...
I wont sell, when that info is the same as when I invested...
I know im not wrong...

up down, round and round... this time the end result will be the same as others...

you are right about most things...
At times you can not admit when you got it wrong...

I have no problem you going against the grain, and you saying to get out the market... and you being negative... that is a good call if you got it right...
BUT.... the way you do it, you use it against me to remain dominant... and its a load of bull, cos had I done exactly what you told me to do, then I would have been bankrupted in property (negatively geared)...
and you have never come out and admit that...

SHREWDY our one big difference is experience. I have seen what happens to people who think they have it right, simply because they think that they studied it enough not to be wrong. Your greatest ever mistake was buying CUE with most of your funds at the top of the market. If you had taken more interest in the price of the oil charts, and taken those into account you would have escaped the huge downtrend. SNOOPY bleats on similar rubbish, and would be well advised to leave his funds in the bank.
I doubled my money in one year on nickel stocks using only the price, and quantity available charts as my buy and sell indicators. All the companies went up in unison and all dropped back in unison. Fundamental analysis is as usefull as tits on a bull, its supply and demand that raises or lowers the tide of market prices.
Take your CUE for instance and compare the share price chart with the market value of oil chart. I will lay odds it follows the oil price making a mockery of your fundamental analysis.
The bigest mistake you can make is lose money always play it safe that is the one thing you have still to learn. Macdunk

SHREWDY, The one thing about these little competitions is the learning experience from a different point of view to your own. The one thing i hope you noticed is the SP of your CUE in relation to the price of oil. In real life that should have been your buy sell signals not some great analysis of the company fundamentals. The SP almost halved with you riding it down bleating like SNOOPY about how right you were, and how wrong the market was. Think about it Brother, The opportunity lost, money tied up getting back to square one. Study your market first, money sitting in the bank is better than money going down hill in a downtrending market. Learn to read the market which follows very closely to the supply and demand charts, especially the mining sector. If you had a stop loss, working off moving averages, look at what you might have earned, instead of playing catch up. The next big movers when this recession is over is the mineral market, keep close watch on the mineral price charts. Oil will come a distant second to what goes into battery powered cars, which will take off, so study that. CHINA has hundreds of thousands of battery powered scooters at the moment. Study the price charts of commodoties that is the rising or falling tide of companies in that sector. Look it all up in hindesight of what happened in the past, dont fall in love with a stupid company again . The tide lifts and lowers all ships in unison, other than the ones with a hole in the bottom read the charts. Macdunk

SHREWDY, Now that you got back to square one with CUE I hope you were smart enough to learn a lesson. Its not what you or I think its value is worth, its what the market thinks. Do a study of Snoopy and his impressive fundamental analysis on share chat, then take a look at what he is holding long term over the years and learn from it. The market makes the trend, not you or me, study the market first, your or my fundamentals are a very poor second to that. Your timing was as bad as it could have been, you lost most of your capital in SP and are lucky to recoop. The only way you or I will make money is find a rising sector then find the company best fitted to exploit it. Nothing lasts forever my MCR will double in price then one day will downtrend like it has done in the past. CUE is no different, it halved its SP with you riding it down bleating on how right you were when your money should have been sitting in the bank waiting on a buy signal. Its not how long you are invested, its what happens when you are that counts. Money in the bank waiting on buy opportunities is money well invested as you will find out later in life.
Our little contest is only fun play removed from reality because you and I change our position frequently over 12 months. When are you going to work out how far you have to go playing catchup or will I have to do it for you?. Macdunk

SHREWDY, I hope you have kept up with the mineral charts nickel is in a steep uptrend pulling nickel companies up with it. MCR, no debt is going to double in price mate get on to it. MacdunkDoes this mean you have come out to play. Bit slow off the mark there mate.

I know its a tad small to read but the red line is your ol fav, the 30 day ma. That alone should have had you in, in March with MCR. It would have tipped you out in July but only after a 133% gain :D

Shrewdy rode CUE down but you missed the buy signals with MCR. Does that mean you are even? :p

Shrewd is coming up for one of the Auckland meetings. What do you reckon Mac? Can you make it. It would be great to get together for a Scotch or two

mackdunk,

I suggest you read the NZ homebuyers are screwed thread, from start to end...
while your there, pop in to the CUE thread and have a peak when you sold below 15c and its now 50% higher...

also,
You would only ever put money in bank for asset protection...
You put interest in bank (locked at 7%) in this competition because of this reason...

1) you thought the market was going to have a crash of a crash...
(you over estimated the recession)...

you came out of that cave of yours to spread fear and panic...
And I held on because I knew CUE was a strong company, and I showed you up when you tried to belittle me about the whole thing.....
as I said...
I lose time, I dont lose money...

lastly,
In competitions you taught me to play the opponent and forget about everything else...
you were the one that got 'played' mackdunk...
hussled...

I choose NZO, not because it was the best potential performer... but because it was a good offset of your interest in bank... with the sort of low risk profile as cash at bank.....

SHREWDY, lET ME PUT THIS IN AS NICE AWAY AS I CAN MATE.
On the 29th of july two years ago you started the CUE thread on Sharetrader stating you had invested 60% of your funds in CUE at an average of 21.6c.
You have stated all the way through that you were right and the market was the silly one.
Lets now look at your over two year investment with the benefit of hindesight to see if you were right and the market wrong.
CUE BUY PRICE AVERAGE 21.6c over two years invested.
TODAYS PRICE 22c
HIGHEST PRICE IN BETWEEN 29c in June 2008.
LOWEST PRICE IN BETWEEN 9c in march 2009.
Far be it from me to suggest that it was a dumb move to fall in love with a company to the extent that you let that happen . I would much rather point out in my own little way that you have a lot to learn.
Money sitting in the bank waiting on safe investment opportunities is your investment ammunition. firring it to soon is a fools method. I told you about MCR, which is a good safe debt free company that follows the price of metal market up and down like a shadow. I made more on MCR in a couple of weeks than you did in a couple of years with CUE.
Come to think of it the money sitting in the bank for the first six months of this year had a higher return.
Read the MCR thread on Sharechat from start to finish with an open mind and learn from it.
The company is neither here nor there its the market that counts learn to study the market.

I merely pointed out to SHREWDY that this share wiuld double in price. He did a very stupid thing in riding CUE down to half his buy price then boasting how clever he was while still in the red. I asked him to read the MCR thread on Sharechat from start to finish for a very good reason. SNOOPY and SHREWDY nave more in common than he might think. Macdunk

THE competition well and truely got finished off this week/month...
CUE has run from 10c to 27c this year and HZN has gone from 14c to 33c...
You picked PPP at 28c which did well, but couldnt keep up and went for cash at bank interest rate of a single digit return?

my mate mackdunk,
Im curious to see what you pick against me next year?

I say that because one of your favourites that you have gone on and on about recently, MCR... Could it have the potential return to compete in this competition?

mackdunk, im actually bloody enraged that you would even think about trying to battle me with interest in bank as a pick...
next year come back with something that can actually perform...
you are a diddle brain...:)...

SHREWDY, You are not doing nearly as well in real life with your investments as old Macdunk which is all that matters. To hold CUE for over two years then watch it go down from 21.6c to 10c then start skiting when it gets to 27c shows you up as a novice my man.
No stop loss, you know best attitude might let you off the hook this time,but if you dont change your ways, you will one day lose the lot. During the time you went from 21.6c to 27c I doubled my money more than twice if you were paying attention.
I also told you to get out the market quick which might have allowed you to buy back double your holding.
Its not how much you make in this game that is important, its how much you lose.
To have money sitting in the bank allowed me to speculate in a bottoming market in contrast to your playing catch up to regain your losses.
I dont invest anything unless its a certainty, gambleing is for beginners. The most important thing to get into your head is protect your assets at all costs. When money goes bad as it is doing right now, buy material assets. Money is only a promise to pay stampted on a bit of fancy paper manipulated by a bunch of crooks.
People with real money all hold large material assets and dabble in playing the markets.
I dont invest long term in shares, the market requires you to keep on the move, so what happened last year or a few months ago means very little to me today.

I really dont have time to be bothered playing the markets now that i am retired not much point really.

SHREWDY, I wont go in to detail of what i do in private business when most of you are to scared to even use your real name. The sharemarket will have a bad year so no point in me selecting companies for the sake of it when i dont invest like that in any case.
Pick what you like out of this lot.
1, OIL is $42-75 todays price a barrel I bought barrels of high grade engine oil in real life with a price that is closely tied to the market price.
2,ASB in NZ todays rate is 7.43% I have a higher rate in AUSTRALIA bought last year.
3.Silver $11-10 at todays price.
4 GOLD $853-85,
I pay tax on shares so dont complicate things. The market is heading down in 2009 you would be wise to rethink your high risk investing style.
Pick what you like out of that lot i dont care. Macdunk Nothing like reality in hindesight to keep you honest.
Siver is selling at $18-46 up from $11-10 I still hold
Gold is $1148 up from $825 I still hold
OIL is $79-25 up from $42-75 I sold out
money in the bank did a trade on MCR at one stage for a large profit.
PPP shares sere sold when they hit my stop loss at a high profit.
To be fair gold silver and oil get measured in a falling American dollar but still beats having your money tied up in a company for two years at 21.6c up to 24c after watching it drop to 10c then rave on about being smart.
It is much better to invest with an open clear mind never fall in love with companies or your own abilities. The sign posts are clear learn to read them mate we are in for huge change in the short term if you allow yourself to hold in a downtrending share bleating on about being right then one day you will lose the lot.

Its not what you win that counts as much as what you lose with no sell system when the bad times hit. Hope you learned that lesson in real life for next time.

with CUE at 24-25c, would have me outperform your cash in bank anyway...

SHREWDY, you watched CUE go down from 21.6 c with most of your money on it to 10c.
My question to you now is CUE has gone down from 28c to 23c, and looks set to continue the downward slide in this economic climate with most of your money on it what happens now?. Are you so much in love with the company, and learned nothing, or have you learned that its the market not you who gets it right.
The TA shows you should have sold out waiting on a buy signal, just as it did in the past when i warned you to stick your money in the bank. Any fool can make money in a rising market, its the people that understand the markets next move that are the real winners.
The market is about to have another hiding with great change on the horizon, dont get caught out by being oblivious to the signs. The cracks have been papered over mate, keep your wits about you. Macdunk

.^sc Considering your selelected company is trading under the 100 day moving average at the moment all i can say is that you are a gambler, not an investor. One day picking bottoms will leave you covered in it. I will ask the question, what do you think you know that the market is unaware of?.
The TA gives you the signal from the people who have the inside knowledge with the people in the know sneaking in or sneaking out. Fundamental analysis is as usefull as tits on a bull compared to that signal. There is always a reason for a share to move against the general market trend study that first, the company comes a very distant second.
One in four is a bad call unless you are luckier or wiser than most all your eggs in one basket will see you lose big time the way you are going. Macdunk
