2018 Stock Picking Contest

[777]

Thank you SylvesterCat for taking up the challenge of running this competition.

I do however believe that a rights issue needs to be taken into account somehow as the head share price is affected by such issue. Perhaps it could be covered by deducting the the cost of the right from the ex right price of the head share and calling it a cash dividend.

I would be interested on what others think.

In my original thinking, I'd thought about treating rights as an increased investment (pro-rata-ed appropriately for time remaining), but then obviously getting extra 'shares'.
Quite happy to do this.

Also happy either way on whether we exclude shares with market cap <$10m.

This cat doesn't need to think for himself in this case, quite happy to adopt the consensus view. In fact - someone tell me how to set up a poll on this forum, and I will do exactly that!
