2018 Stock Picking Contest

[Oliver Mander]

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

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...

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!
