Some sort of anti-Tiger system installed
I have made two unsuccessful attempt to enter the 2017 contest via the stocktastic website:
The first attempt kept claiming that I had not picked five different stocks which was patently not true but I had entered a different combination of name & email address (ie made a typo) from last year and I think that was the actual problem.
On the second attempt my internet connection went down when I hit the submit button.
Restoration involved my ISP rebooting their router for the entire apartment complex so I am loath to try it again.
Best Wishes
Paper Tiger

First N.Z. FPH, CEN, SML, XRO and TGH all fail and all trading below their 100 day MA.
Forbar - CBL looks okay for a TA perspective as does THL, (hold), FPH, see above, EVO ?, IFT, NO, (what a shocker !).
Vulcan Capital PEB, yes, PIL yes, Tru Test , no, Turners yes, (hold) N.Z. Salmon, ticker code, thanks Percy, too young for reliable TA.
JB Were Fonterra yes, Evolve ?, FPH No, MFT yes, CEN, no.
Craigs CEN no, Fonterra yes, Gentrack ?[ MFT yes, RBD no
Hamilton Hinden Green Rym no, GNE no, FPH no, Chorous and Opus Int Consultants ?
Hobson Wealth Management FPH no, MFT yes, RBD no, Trustpower no, Vista group no
MSL Capital Markets AIA no, Green Cross Health no, Heartland ? Plexure no, Synlait no.
So there's a simple 100 day MA filter run over the broker picks.
Highlighted stocks are ones I will look further into as possible acquisitions in 2017 based on meeting or possibly meeting basic 100 day MA, not currently held and are not obviously disqualified for other reasons I'm currently aware of in terms of my own personal investment criteria.
Please DYOR.
