    I think "top experts" is clearly meant as a euphemistic term...shame one didn't embrace the spirit of the season and realise that...but I agree that this is probably more appropriate after the 2019 competition kicks off.

    I reckon I pretty much became a Top Expert at drinking cider and eating chocolate over the last week, well from what I remember anyway.

    With this in mind, I'm holding what I'm already holding (OCA, THL, HLG, A2) for the foreseeable future. But new money?? Mainfreight. Their chart is pretty damn convincing over the last five years.

    I'd rather date boring this year..
    What I found most fascinating from Monday's stock rout on the US markets was Fed Ex's downgrade blaming widespread slowdown in growth in Asia, Europe with Brexit and some in the US. These sort of bellwether stocks are usually a very good forward indicator on how things are going and it was trading on a forward PE of just 10.5 after Monday's big fall. Mainfrieght have heaps of international operations...if Fed Ex is finding things very tough is their warning a free heads up warning for Mainfrieght shareholders with the latter's shares trading on a trailing PE of 25.5 ?

    I have already picked one for 2019 and it is a more or less (+/- 5%) guaranteed 20%.

    Will update in the new year.

    Phew! Not much of a consensus on next year's picks from those entrusted with other people's money! Their achievements in last year's stock-picking contest were pretty much scatter-gun too. Just proves no one has a crystal ball and I might as well continue to make my own mistakes.
