Hey rotweiller,
There are two things that are most important to me...
a) making positive returns, specifically beating market index returns...
b) Threads that I open/stocks that I pick and discuss performing as expected...
....
Share comp picks comes in 3rd....Sure I would have liked to have done better Last year.. It was My first year in any comp and I took on two U stocks after I'd seen U stocks explode in late 2006...
for the comp, one fell 80%, the other around 50%...
This year I have picked 4 oilers I feel strong about, and One of the U's again...
all the best for your 4 day duty, I know where Id rather be...
:cool:

After the last meeting someone suggested a guest speaker!!
has anyone thought any more about this?
I won't say TR but maybe DS or Helen Mackay as she is in charge of stakeholder relations.
Hi. Is the Feb 9th gathering open to all and sundry ?
Absolutely Garry! It would be good to see you, and any new faces, there.
Otherwise I'll just get stuck talking to Shrewd again, and I've got no idea what he's talking about half the time.
Hopefully the 9th will be ok for you Oiler? I know you've got heaps on around that time.
I'd encourage all to come along to these meetings. They're always friendly, and very casual, and there's a mix of ages, experience levels and interests.
It's great putting faces to names, and discovering that even the gurus are just normal, enthusiastic people.
And please don't be concerned if you haven't mad it to any of the previous get-togethers. I've been to a couple and still haven't got to talk to everyone. There's new faces each time.
Have done a quick analysis of our Chch guys picks effective 1 Nov 2007 to today.
Not looking too flash. Only 5 of us out of 13, Kiwibear (AWE ), Shrewdy ( CUE ), Lion (VPE ) , Upside ( PPP ) and Bermuda ( BOW ) are in positive territory.
Overall up about 1%
Hopefully we can see a big improvement by Feb 9th.
welcome aboard garry...
Ive been to an auckland meet, a welly meet... and in my unbiased opinion, CHCH is where all the actions at...
even MD is going to make an appearance at some stage, as he told me...
:cool:

If mackdadunk came we would only need a bigger dance floor :D !...The Dux is a large event and there will be many groups there..Quote:
Yeah we have got to get MD to ChCh. Probably need a bigger venue if MD comes.
SO I will be wearing my dollar sign cap for abit of a laugh... it has a big dollar sign on the front which sparkles and has smaller dollar signs over the rest of this finely designed sun protector...
:cool:

Bermuda with weather we are having now I think most people attending will be wearing "shorts" ;)
Time to start taking a head count to see who are going to be at the Dux on Sat evening.
Christchurch is struggling to hold the title for "Natioanl Convention" Auckland matched the best Christchurch attendance at the Dec meet.
Time for the Cantabs to stand up and be counted.
I am sure there will be lots of sad tales to tell about the present market and where everyone thinks it is going to go.
SC the guru is going to be there, along with Bermuda and all the other regular supporters. There will be free drink for all the new attendees ...:)
see ya'll Sat night
