Hi all...results to June 8th. Swapsies at the top, with lawnmower man regaining the lead. It is definitely close amongst the top 5-6...and its telling that 65 of us have made over 10% YTD, 86 of us are 'beating the market' and 128 of us are better than breakeven.

Once CBL is put in at zilch one will drop out of the top 15

Sorry hardt ...was checking what you had in way of selections to be near the top

[Oliver Mander]

Yes that's a good point on CBL. it would be picking up the last traded price - but given that the shares can't be sold, we might have to over-ride that to 'zero' at one point. Will probably happen during August; that's when the next series of decisions on CBL are being made...

Thanks for reminding me, maybe next year...

I originally planned on SKO being there, then opted for a more historically stable option... little did I know... R.I.P

Lucky for me CBL was only 3% in my real portfolio, so I can just think of it as a tax credit now

Is my browser broken?
Or is the puddy-tat named Sylvester asleep beside the fire?
Last update 22 June. CBL share price has been rock solid all year. Should have me near top of rankings.

Hounds have a liking for falling asleep by the fire in winter too
#11... I can formally kiss goodbye to my chances of regaining a top ten spot with PPH basically in freefall and go back to sleep by the fire happy I have no real money in it. They have changed the basis of how they measure their growth several times in the last year and frankly I think the market has cried enough creativity already. There's a limit to how many different creative ways they can try and disguise that growth is really slowing up.

Sylvester Cat not quite asleep :-) Has been busy for the last 6 weeks though...including a surprise trip to New York on AIR. Sorry for lack of update - all info there, and will run the models in the weekend.
