before we start listing our picks, it might be wise to have a little think about the rules and see if they need tweaking to improve them.

these are the rules that we are currently using.
it is possible that everyone will be happy to carry on with these rules as they are.


1 - no stocks under 1c will be accepted.
2 - Dividends will be added to return.
3 - 5 stock picks only.
4 - no options etc.
5 - each stock pick will have a weighting of $10,000 (20% of portfolio)... ($50,000 in total for portfolio)...
so performance can be posted in percentage returns, and/or $ returns.
6 - entries close at midnight sunday 15th January 2017…
7 - entry price is the first-traded price from the day following you posting your selections for late comers or the first traded price on the first trading day of the year.
8 - if one of your picks hasn’t listed or is in suspension at the start of year we will just take the first traded price on the day that it lists or comes out of suspension.
9 - takeovers will result in a new pick to the contestant, at the adjusted rate.
