shasta AOE L

Thanks Paul :)

AOE is due to report increased reserves (Q1 09), & the finalisation of the PES takeover will also increase there reserves, & quite cheaply.

AOE also have the Shell money to be received in tranches over the next year or so as AOE met certain milestones, so are well funded.

AOE is also looking strong on the charts...

jbmurc STX L


Very hard to pick just one so many undervalued shares, I guess I'll just go with my largest portfilo holding-- STX --jnr Energy stock
Shareprice-14c
P/E-5.3
Marketcap-47mill
current cashflows-3mill+per month
Forcast earns ps cents-5.3c-2009 7.7c-2010


STX now have two large oil and gas fields which are producing and proving up resources looking good for long term production of highly priced Natural Gas(compared to AUS)
STX is one of very few ASX jnr's to make it in the US.
STX is a great jnr growth stock with proven managerment

09 should treat STX alot better than 08 with a high of 38c in 08 and a low of 11c
currently stx has bounced of the low and through the 30 EMA 15c-20c most likely short term range .

lastest annoucement-If Tumbleweed hits commercial Gas STX will rocket

Strike Oil reports on the progress of its activities in the Gulf Coast, Texas.


[bermuda]

Yogi,
Thanks for your offer. It has made me think. I had my 5 picks all sorted out but I must admit SEC cant be expected to do all this hard work all the time. Well done SEC and Yogi I will put my thinking cap on.

I have 5 possibilities which I would have entered

A. 100 Bagger. High risk but in the UCG field.
B. 30 Bagger. Medium risk but risk all the same.
C. 4 Bagger. Foregone conclusion
D. 3 Bagger . Foregone conclusion but with more 2010 potential
E. 3 Bagger but needs oil to go to $70/bbl.

Will let you know by deadline date.

Happy New Year.

[Crypto Crude]

Yogi,
I'll take CUE....

5 words,
diversified exploration, development, appraisal, production...

thanks yogi
:cool:
.^sc

[Huang Chung]

huang chung PDZ L

First non-energy related pick of the comp.

Trading at 1/20th of it's highs. News expected soon regarding high grade zinc/lead/silver resource. Vanadium potential could be the wildcard.

Fairly cashed up for a junior as well.

Not expecting much from it in the early running, but hopefully this filly will prove to be a stayer and come home strong.

[macduffy]

macduffy CXC L

Rather convoluted reasoning here!
I expect gold/silver to do well in coming months as the world becomes more disillusioned with a heavily inflated USD.
I'd be happy with a good gold stock but wouldn't know where to start sorting them out.
CXC is the biggest primary silver producer in the world. A lot of by-product producers are/will be either limiting or ceasing production of their copper/zinc/lead etc and with it, their silver. Silver will remain in demand for industrial purposes.
One of these days the physical demand for silver will overcome the manipulation of the PoS via "paper silver".( OK, so that's more hope than conviction!)
The Gold/silver price ratio is due for adjustment in favour of silver.

Thanks, paul, and SEC!

[Financially dependant]

Thought I might as well put my mouth were my money is :D!

financially dependant VPE L

Resistance becoming support would be great news indeed and the kind of foundation the VPE sp needs to kick on. All the fundamentals seem in place, share register looking great, threat of a takeover looming and further CSG consolidation in progress. Money in the bank with increasing production and a higher oil price in 2009

[Skol]

skol CLH L

Australia's leading receivables manager.
Chart seems to have turned northwards.
Good dividend yield.
Worst recession since great depression?

[morv]

I will go with NZO

.^sc

[Taijon]

taijon HGO L

Hillgrove has been beaten to hell. Current SP doesn't even equate to its 20+% holding in coal seam gas company ESG, and ascribes no value to its mineral resource sites.

[AMR]

amr CXC L

Silver looks like it has broken upwards from a base, the stock itself has done a reverse head and shoulders pattern. Three bagger perhaps?

[The Big Ease]

the big ease HTI L

market cap of 4 mill.
lots of high value (multi-million dollar) contracts under negotiation.
multiple pilots running at the moment.
high margin projections.


cons: enough cash left for just over a couple of quarters. long lead time to negotiate contracts.

[shasta]

Can you please clarify the rules regarding selecting the same stock as another participant?

I see Macduffy & AMR have both selected "CXC"

scorp57 BOW L

Great company. Great management, and we are all well informed thanks to captain B. The bounce has already begun actually...

cheers guys. lets hope we have a better year than 08

[ELYOB]

elyob TSV L .............I wana win and if only given one stock , this is a wild card . Refer all to latest presentations by TSV and Latent Petro . Alcoa in this big time . They will need the year to work through their programme .

[mark100]

mark100 AOE L

Assuming I am allowed to pick AOE as shasta has already picked it before me (good pick shasta!)

AOE is cashed up ith Shell money, reserves increasing, production increasing, high chance of corporate action etc. Valued at a EV/Reserve multiple well under what recent takeovers have been at

Mark,Shasta,

How could you possibly pick AOE after Yogi ( the competition organiser ) has given it the thumbs down?? ( see Arrow file and Yogi comment )

AOE is one of my favorites but I dont hold.

[woomera]

Hi all. Happy new year


woomera OEX L

Oilex is seriously undervalued & is very beaten down atm. However it is now cashed up & has production at Cambay India which will be ramped up over the year. There will be additional oil production from Indonesia & probably from Oman (if they can get a good flow from the heavy oil discoveries). They have lots of exploration interests that can be farmed out for a carried interest & management have done it all before with Cairn.

regards
woomera

[mark100]

Mark,Shasta,

AOE is one of my favorites but I dont hold.

bermuda, no disrespect to yogi here but in the 2008 comp at the end of November yogi was -63%. So astrologly is obviously not the only game in town. I'll stick with AOE. Its current fundamentals and technicals are looking better then they are for many other stocks.

[CAM]

cam AGS L

My Uranium pick
Low price at the moment. Maybe a year too early but could come with a late run.
China ramping up its nuclear power plants

AOE fundamentally stacks up, has cash (no debt), & is technically starting to behave :cool:

I'll wait & see if the stargazers & tea leaf readers are right or not!

[robjb5]

One of Paul's favourites.......CTP

[yogi-in-oz]

One of Paul's favourites.......CTP

:)

Hi Robjb5,

CTP ..... management is definitely not on my Christmas card list, but
we cannot ignore some very strong and positive time cycles for CTP
in 2009 ... in fact, it should be a big winner ..... and so, CTP is my tip
in the ASF tipping competition, for 2009 ..... !~!

have a great day

paul

P.S. ..... get your entries in for the 2009 tipping challenge ... DO IT NOW ... !~! ... :)

:)

=====

[lissica]

I would pick AOE too as it's one of our biggest holdings on the ASX.

But I won't. Because everyone else is.

So:

lissica VMG L

VDM group is a civil/structural engineering, contract and project management group. I think it was way oversold at a PE of just over 2 and dividend yield of almost 20%. Most of the contracts were locked in for 2008/2009, and I'm hoping that things will pick up in 2010.

[impacman]

Hi all, happy new year. :)

impacman CUV L

Been in this one for about 4 years now and it appears this is the year it either performs or goes the way of many of the biotechs out there. An educated punt - only time will tell and I'm pretty sure it will be this year.

[airedale]

airedale CAH L

Only one shot at the bull allowed. There are so many tempting oilers and resource stocks to choose from, BUT gold looks good next year also.
Catalpa Resources is getting good drilling results in WA and if/when they start mining they will benefit from the rising POG. Price less than 4 cents.......so maximum leverage possible.

http://s474.photobucket.com/albums/rr105/airedale99/?action=view&current=CATALPARESOURCESCAH.png

[Brut]

brut CFE L

Approx $240 million cash in bank (plus another $80 million pending) with market cap of only $80 million at present. So trading at approx 36% of cash backing.

Also, the possible sale of Cape Lambert South in the future

[the machine]

thanks yogi

the machine KAS L

with only 1 pick then have to aim high to win and an oiler will not accomplish that.

need at least a 500% gain to have any chance - thus kasbah with their tin and gold

hopefully tin has bottomed so can only go up and as regards gold, they should start some follow up with on the highgrade gold prospect in second half 2009 - top grade was 85gm per tonne fromold drills.

all the best M

[Serpie]

serpie IMD L

Happy New Year everyone!

[OutToLunch]

out to lunch MAK L

Minemakers are sitting on Australia's largest undeveloped rock phosphate deposit and, all going well with their hopes of finding direct shipping ore, plan to be in production by the end of this year, otherwise 2010. Aiming to ship 3 mtpa to start with with ramp up to double that in future years. Current rock phosphate prices, if maintained, offer a gross margin in the order of 200US/tonne so potentially very profitable. RP prices are likely to fall in the short term in line with falling fertiliser prices and lack of credit for farmers, but rise in the medium to long term as food shortages consequently worsen. On the downside, funds are needed and some dilution is likely unless MAK stitch together an offtake agreement with a potential customer (apparently they are receiving a lot of enquiries in this respect), or secure debt funding. Current price 47c after 2008 highs of 295c.

[Awamoa]

awamoa DRA L

2009 cant be any worse.

[bermuda]

bermuda TEX L

Laurence Roe has this company perfectly positioned having been successful with 6 out of 9 wells. There is cash in the bank, an improving positive csahflow and big drilling potential. Laurence was with Bounty and was let down by an English partner and had to relinquish their permits in the Great South Basin at the bottom of NZ. This time he has chosen quality partners.

Watch for this share to " Catapult".

This share could go from 3 cents to over $1.00 but as always, the drill bit does the talking. ( otherwise I would have taken VPE...but a 4 bagger wont win this competition. )

[Dr_Who]

I hope you are right, i still have my TEX holding sitting in the bottom draw.

In a year of mergers and acquisitions and quick deaths they will definately not be in the same position as now (one way or another)

PSA - must be one undervalued stock - 5 bagger at least. If it is not too late.

Pity about not having a sub 0.01c stock on the list - my most promising stock is 0.006c and at the price I have doubled my money already (on paper) in the last few weeks. Any reason for the cut off?

[Rif-Raf]

If not too late:

Rif-Raf HGO L

Trading around a half of the market value of their main listed investment (ESG), plus other assets for free. CSG sector starting to lift again so good leverage potential with ESG.

Hi Machine,
Spoke to DS and suggested they make a total takeover which makes absolute sense to me. As always DS gave nothing away. A perfect fit imho. And it would ignite NZO who also have Kupe coming on stream plus more Tui drills. Got to be good for both PPP and NZO.

dec 31 is what counts and yes my aim is to win it - ideally about sept and everyone else gives up

One bullet may not strike, speaking of which have a look at STX, Strike Oil. Great name, but better chances.

Geepers the way PEM has gone in the last week or two (13c to 43c ) I should win by a mile
You gotta laugh about the fact there has been no news and more importantly no speeding tickets WTF

cant believe no one picked URA ( used to be such a popular thread )
they would surely be in the top half dozen

With URA's overnight change of direction & lack of funds, the SP is only heading down, god knows why it's gone up...:eek:

My pick of AOE is looking solid, & i should have bought them sub $2 when they were so obvious :rolleyes:

I hope somebody bombs the AGM (prior to people attending).

To keep this thread on its rails,
I will pull one out of my hat and say ADX

I dont usually enter comps as there is no point for me as I have already lost just about everything else :rolleyes:

my pick kasbah are having a 1:1 issue to fund 15,000m of diamond drilling with objective upgrade 1-2mt of inferred tin @ 0.9% to indicated.


thus june/july will be a bit limp in the sp, until drill results start coming through.

sept - end of comp could be very positive for kasbah

Shrewdy,
You are still behind me!
But in the last few days you have surged ahead. Want to have a free night at the Johnny Carson bar? Best August performance wins. Are you on?

CUE versus TEX

May they both go well.


PS I will put a few $$$ on beating you at tennis any time. I am happy to publish the result.

[Crypto Crude]

Bermuda,
Im looking forward to that night...

Im not sure about a bet with you though...
I always lose...:D....

I did pick TEX for the HC monthly share picking comp, based on Snapper A-3 likely to come in IMO...
extend it until 20th Sept, to give me a chance with Manaia and you are on....

Tennis next week?

Shrewdy,
Game on next Thursday 13 September., bring your best racket. You will need it. 4.30pm.

As for CUE versus TEX we are both drilling appraisal wells. If Snapper 3 comes in, TEX could go woosh.
Cue will get a lift from Manaia but their big lift will come in 2010.
Go hit some balls. You need all the practice you can get.

Hey Shrewdy, thanks for the tennis. I was pretty sore too. I think I may have the better of you in August.......... but up 23% and 28% aint bad eh? ( for less than a month ) If only we could do it month in and month out. My graph shows some huge ups and downs! But , if you have the time and believe in the story, then this CSG is only about 15% down the track.

I think TEX has got a lot more in the tank. And so has CUE.

noticed FAR lucked out with Shell no buyin - thats bad luck for Paul.

As regards Cue, they would have to still go up a long way to have any chance.

Still think a 500% gain will be needed to win.

PDZ is having a monster month :).

[the machine]

alas, my tip kasbah will probably not do much on monday [in time for august results] and instead hang around the 50-55% gain.

reason being they are making a presentation on thursday at the Africa Down Under Conference, thus all the good news will be saved up.

still aiming for a top 5 finish come dec

[JBmurc]

my STX pick close to 100% up needs to reach 29c-27c atm am confindent I'll make the top 10 this year
wish I picked PEN now though could well be 300%+ by years end top 5

good to see my other holding CFE IRN be up well tis month aswell.

Machine, JB...I'm also looking for a podium position. Good to see so many confident in their picks.

stuck on 66% gain as tip finished @ 5c - bring on sept 30 where should be 100% gain

Thank,Paul for keeping score. I marked my place as this months top scorer by buying another 110,000 CAH. Look out for an 1 for 11 consolidation in CAH coming up later in the year.

Well done HC and well done to the many others too.

I never even made it into the top 50, although Im not even sure if I posted or not :eek: :rolleyes: :p

Ahh well, when does the next one start?

Can we also maybe make the next one a 3 way pick and then take the average from all gains with hypothetical say $20,000 investment?

This would sure spice up the choice selection of those who go long.

Catalpa has completed the deal with Lion Selection and is trading again as

with about 9 trading days left my pick is making a late run into top 15 - sitting at 110% now but may end year a bit higher - just depends if more news comes out.

present drill AD32 to confirm continuity between AD20 and AD31 should just about be complete, but question is will results be out by years end.
AD31 had an exceptionally high grade of 1m @ 6% tin which is huge [part of a 30m tin world class bearing lode]

Hi Yogi

HGO paid a maiden dividend of 1 cent per share fully franked on 6 October 2009 and a further dividend of 1 cent per share fully franked on 30 November 2009. These divies won't propel me into first place but every little bit helps!!!!!!

Personally very disappointed in my pick, PDZ, as I backed it for real, big time. It still could be a stock to watch in the future, but, not for the moment.

[bermuda]

Congrats Suntboy. Well done to anyone over 30%. And thanks Yogi for your efforts. I know there isnt a comp this year but I would have picked TEX, VPE, ITC, BOW and BUL with WCL as a reserve.

If someone could organise a five stock comp it would be fun. Alas, I am hopeless with computers. We could have opening bell Jan 5 as the cut off.
Anyone else interested?

Thanks for your efforts Paul and congrats to you Suntboy. Hope you were holding a wad of PEM - I see it is still trending in the right direction.

I was more than happy with my pick in real terms as well last year.

My pick (IMD) tumbled during December (it was up 235% at one stage!) so I was lucky to stay in the top 10. I've taken it again this year, so I'm hoping it will continue it's run in 2010.
