    Question 2018 Stock Picking Contest

    Just to say that though I took over this years contest, I have no intention of being involved in the organisation of, administration of, or execution of a contest for 2018.

    Maybe we could do a monthly update or something, rather than live daily updates.

    Very kind of the Puddy Tat to take over this years one considering he has expended considerable efforts with wearing his paw pads out running previous ones.
    The resident stripy one deserves a nice break basking in the sun.
    Maybe those interested in participating in 2018 could DIY and simply post their selections and update their own performance quarterly ?

    I'm quite happy to help co-ordinate if need be...perhaps with the bigger feline's (ie, tiger's) support. Question for PT though - what tool do you use to store the picks, and update prices/dividends?
    If its a live feed (or even semi-automated) and updated monthly, feel sure I could keep up with this...

    Arrow You need data from somewhere and a means of turning into information

    Between mid December and the end of next August I will be permanently on the road and not offering support.

    I download & parse end of day & dividend data from my data suppliers using php running in cron jobs on the papertiger.asia web-server and these store the results in a MySQL database, which also contains tables of entrants and their choices.
    A further php cron job uses all this data to create the results tables which are then served as a web-page on demand by yet another php script.

    When it works as it should, it is great and no hassle;
    When it goes wrong, it really goes wrong!

    Ok PT, all good.
    Will do a quick bit of research around how your process works, and see if I can make it nice n easy for me to run.
    Will see if I can stand something up by the end of 1st week December (or at least let you know if I can't)
