Barramundi ( BRM )

Your theoretical "form" isn't returning anything for me Percy...whereas BRM for the last 4 years has returned for me an annual net return of 10.39% (after tax). That's a mistake I don't mind repeating. Theory is nowhere near as crucial as "skin in the game".

Exactly."Those who do not know history's mistakes are doomed to repeat them."
My history is easy to check.Aussie sharetrader competition 2012 2nd,2013 10th,2014 so far 4th. I have form!
BRM history is very poor [could say a history of mistakes].No reason to believe it will improve.

I have always invested in stocks I have picked,both Aussie and NZ.
This year 2014 Aussie + 36.24%
2013 Aussie +59.59%
2012 Aussie +141.82%
Average 79.21%.
You can now understand why neither you or Carmel impress me.!

Thanks for the link.

Very impressive ..with those sorts of returns I'm surprised you have time to rubbish a stock you don't have in your portfolio. I must admit I am crushed that I don't impress you since after all that is surely the absolute gold standard we should be comparing ourselves too. You win. My meagre dribble is dwarfed by your veritable torrent.

Joshuatree and zigzag.
Fantastic news.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ??????????

Unfortunately,or fortunately some of us have a fair idea about what will happen.!!
Although BRM managed to lose money this year in Aussie,it is worth noting my Aussie picks in the Aussie competition are up 47.03% and I am only fourth.!!

Nice going Percy, but you are not playing with real money, and you are working in Australian currency. BRM is in NZ dollars, which does change the dynamics.

Three year average of 79.21% should have covered a bit of currency fluctuations.?
Now I think of it, that 79.21% average may not include any dividends!!!!
