Hi Kild.

It appears there is a calc issue with stocktastic. Referring to this screenshot taken this morning....

Screen Shot 2016-12-21 at 9.30.38 AM.jpg

RYM's $8.34 is down from the price at the start of the year of $8.46, not 4.43% up.
If adding Ryman's two unimputed dividend payments during the course of the year totalling 17 cents, then $8.34 + $0.17 = $8.51 .. an increase of %0.6%, not 4.43% up.

.. or have I missed something?

I haven't looked at any of the other shares at this stage.

If you look at the top of the table it states that the prices are as at 30/11/16. It hasn't updated since then. It would suggest problems in all figures.

Prices weren't updating because I didn't put a year start price for the new stocks added for next year - sorted.
Added/modified everyones entries as per posts.

Picks for 2017, not that i follow the NZX that closely.

IFT - Could see some corporate activity given low debt to equity, otherwise solid return expected
NZX - Few more listings, new revenue streams who knows, a punt
OGC - Gold/Copper to outperform in 2017
RBC - I always tend to pick them, awaiting the complex and prolonged TEN saga to unwind at some stage, some value in all this...maybe
XRO - Expand, expand expand, at some point might wanna book a profit, can it turn around back towards previous highs?

Thanks again for running the comp

BLT CAV NTL RBC THL

I have the same issue. The website will not let me change my picks. Says I have selected the same stock multiple times, when I haven't.
