Lucky_Phil OSH L

I'll give OSH a go for another year. Has performed well over the last 12 months in a relative sense. Current weakness and low volume suggest selling pressure is no significant against the backdrop of $35US oil price which is unsustainable over the next 12 months.

Good luck to all for the coming year.

Yikes, after the mess we made with the 2008 competition we'll all have to be very brave to try again.

I predict Hilarius will choose BHP. Under the terms of rule 2 (above) we could choose a stock that has a price of $0.02 and hope that something happens. Perhaps it might be a good idea to change rule 2 to make it no stocks under $1.00? That is, every pick has some room to fall.

elisabeth BPT L

BPT for me again:
* Ranging between 50% and 61.8% Fib retracement of 2004-06 rise
* Has made a higher weekly low
* Tgt for (potential) W bottom is the $1.20 to $1.30 area but there's huge supply between $1.20 - $1.50 so BPT will most likely range at that level again. I'd be lucky if it completed that consolidation and broke to the upside before the end of 2009
* Oil price will go up again, just a matter of when

Fun to guess, but that's all it is - strictly a short term players market at the moment!

Happy New Year to all at IC!

I'm very pleased to see that a few people have joined us in this competition but I'm also a little disappointed that there's not so many entries as last year.

I was wondering if it would not damage the integrity of the competition too much if we allowed an extension of the closing date for entries - say to 5th or 6th of January?

However, for this to be done we would need the agreement of a majority of the on-time entrants and a plan to promote the competition with a few postings in other threads.

What does everybody think?? - Over to you guys & gals.

Biotech, their science is statistically significant ... lot's of patents with potential on a number of fronts to move the SP many multiples. Has enough capital to take it through 2009 and looks like a deal with Nestle nutrition is a strong show not far down the track. Two very exciting targets for their patented transdermal drug delivery science, (1) Insulin & (2) Pain Relief ... both have potential to be blockbusters.

There seems to be some regular posters who have not
entered as yet ... so, in the interest a healthier
challenge, we will extend entries to a final deadline:

Sunday Midnight: 04012009

And, if you are still hurting from the 2008 Challenge,
..... never mind, just put it behind you, with another
pick for 2009 ..... :-)

Happy trading to all, in 2009 ... !~!

I believe in survivors.Those who didn't sink to All time Lows during the last year's "turmoil".
New Hope maintained a history All Time High pre 2008.Without going on about the specifics,NHC is Fundamentally SOLID.
A 70cents special dividend fully franked will be paid in November 2009.Fully Franked that's 25%+ on the $3 base.

Further New Hope is a major [>15%] holder in Arrow [AOE].Any AOE takeover will feed further the massive Capital War Chest NHC currently holds.[After the November 09 Special,NHC will and has now over $1.5 billion Cash in Bank]

New Hope to Accumulate.

PBG has some well known brands like Sheridan,Bonds, Hard Yakka etc necessities which we all need. The company has been increasing their profit and dividends every year since listing.The dividend last year was 17.5c fully franked.With recession threat and the ozzie dollar at a low,it has been forecast that profit will be affected.Has the stock been oversold at this level? I believe and indicative dividend of 6% fully franked at a SP of 45c has a dividend yield of about 20%. The Ozzie has recovered from a 62c against US to about 70C now which means import cost has been reduced and with A$ to appreciate further will assist in PBG's profitability.I find it hard to believe the SP of this company has dropped 90% in a year. It bounce off a 30c low in 2 days.With the government giving the economy a spurt,the retail sector should make up some ground.With interest rate to go lower still,and taking a managed risk, PBG at this level is worth a spec.It should be back at the $1.20 level in 6 months and if our economy pick up earlier, $2 by the end of the year is not out of the question. This is the reason for my entry into the competition.

I have nothing against your pick but I hope PBG go broke.

When was the last time you bought Hard Yakka? That is right..never. I'd rather make my undies last 100 years before spending a cent on a new pair of Bonds. Sheridan is the sad dried out prune from Desperate Housewives which used to be so hot on Knots Landing.

My anger comes from the dividend cheque I received when I owned PBG at $3.07. They charged me a dollar for the cheque. I sold the stock the next day. If a company can't figure out how to automatically deposit my dividends into my trading account and follows this up as excuse to charge me a fee for their incompetence then they deserve to go under for their lack of ingenuity. I suspect PBG to be as clueless in dealing with their products and services as with their shareholder care.

If you own a stock through a US broker and this stock pays a dividends this dividend is paid directly into your trading account.

Looking for an increase in oil prices over the year due to more unstable middle east disturbances. technically, weekly momentum indicators are showing signs of either crossing +ve or at the very least turning up!

If I was to have a second pick I'd go at IIF.

Hi Cool One,

I empathise with how you feel. I won't feel too bad if it is just the $1 for the cheque, especially when trading is a business for you. Today, many of the function is done separately, and in this case it is managed by Computershare. If you must, Computershare has some explanation to do for you.I have been trading PBG since it first listed. At about $3, I thought the share was overbought, however I have no doubt with an improved economy it may even better that in time to come. Meanwhile I see value at this level 45c. I asked myself if I was willing to pay over $2 for it with the good franked dividends, surely I am prepared to pay this price for in my own way I treat it as a defensive stock.If you write to their CEO on principle, I am sure they will apologise to you and probably send you, a gift. If I am the CEO of the company, I know, I would.

When Tower Australia, had a rights issue, the right's price was way below the listed price.It cost me many $ and I vowed to have nothing to do with them any more especially during then, the underwriter was also the largest shareholder who stood to benefit from the way they handle things. I wrote to Computershare, the Chairman of Governance in Tower, the CEO of Tower. I thought they were very unfair and their actions benefited their largest shareholders where the rest were taken for mugs.I sold off all my holdings in Tower. I notice that their shareprice has not gone down that much, however my argument is, if I cannot trust them with the way they handle my claim, how can I trust them with my insurance, in case there is a claim in the future.I hold no grudge against their management or the company, it is water under the bridge, I have move on.

Cheers,

mook

Many years ago, a company has to managed its own share registry, pay dividends etc. Today this function has been out source to companies like computershare and has nothing to do with the company itself. Although the company has nothing to do with the daily operation of the share registry, a company like PBG's reputation is affected if the outsourcing company did a poor job.I have own both CPU and PBG in the past. I just got back into PBG last week because of the SP.The ozzie $ has now gone past the 70c mark. With every 1c improvement will add a good percentage to the profitability of a company like PBG which is essentially an importer.

My stock pick for 2009 is POH

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to submit additional info/ramps on our 2009 stock picks on this thread ... but here goes anyhow.
---------------------------------------------------------

Previously, two pre-clinical dose response trials confirmed that, when given orally, Phospha E® significantly reduces many of the key biomarker associated with metabolic syndrome, which is characterised by a group of risk factors that increase the threat of diabetes, coronary heart disease and other diseases associated with plaque build up in artery walls.

This phase 2 clinical trial commenced late last year (2007)and is well advanced with the majority of patients nearing completion of the trial. (Oct 2008)

Phosphagenics expects to have the results from the current trial towards the end of the first quarter of 2009. As previously disclosed, Phosphagenics has agreed on the principal terms of a commercialisation agreement, which would grant a worldwide exclusive license to its partner, a global nutrition company, for the use of Phospha E® in medical foods while maintaining its manufacturing base in Australia.

Under the terms of the agreement, Phosphagenics would be the exclusive manufacturer and supplier of Phospha E®. The decision whether to execute a final commercial agreement will be made once the results of the phase 2 trial have been assessed.
----------------------------------------------------------

This outcome has the potential to be a key inflection point for POH. Not withstanding other significant arms of their science, POH have a number of irons in the fire ... each with the ability to move the SP MANY multiples.

For those that may not be aware Nestle Nutrition are funding this phase 2 trial, and they are also the Company that has the 'in principal agreement' with POH. This 'in principal agreement' frames the terms of commerciality between the two entities. IMO, this suggests Nestle are pretty keen and given significant outcomes of earlier trials the probabilities of a commercial agreement being reached seem rather solid.

Phospha E has already been given "GRAS" approval as a food additive, "Generally Recognized As Safe".

Whilst POH's science is statistically significant,(anyone who wishes to troll their published clinical data, I'm sure will be impressed), given the "GRAS" approval this arm of their business plan could move VERY QUICKLY.

This stock is unlike many biotechs in that the road to commercialization is relatively short comparatively.

Let's look at Phospha E

Essentially Phospha E is a phosphorylated form of vitamin E. Vitamin E is an existing vitamin, it's a nutraceutical not a pharmaceutical product and as such once it gets through this phase 2 trial it won't take long for it to become financially accreditive to the business, whereas pharmaceutical drugs generally have to go through lengthy and expensive phase 3 trials.

These comments are not intended as a recommendation, kindly do your own due diligence.

Cheers
Boomer

Any further suspensions will be treated in a similar way,

Looking to see if SIP has bottomed. MACD and RSI both showing a divergence, and price showing a higher low on last swing.
The MA's are a bit of a worry.

Thankyou for the new opportunity, I thought I was in for an early year.
I didn't realise MYO was in the process of being taken over. I might check for announcements in the future instead of working purely on charts.

What are you talking about?!? It is the greatest time to be alive. I love the carnage. Nothing is more enjoyable than watching people who thought they were rich realise that they are poor.

The best thing about it is the government blowing money before the resulting unemployment needs show up at their doorsteps. You figure the $52B would be good to have handy when people seek the dole.

Hi yogi
I am making a late entry, but as it would be unfair to include me in your group (given the lateness) can I choose $4.42 as the starting price, which is LGL all-time highest close. That probably also means I start at the bottom of the group (were my name to be added).
I am optimistic of finishing in the black, but probably wouldn't be in the leading group at year end.

It now shows that you cannot outsource responsibility for managing your own company. My dividend example was giving me a warning that rot was at the centre of PBG. Penny-pinching over something as essential as a dividend cheque is a sign of terrible things at its core. It has been proven by exposing they were nothing but an impersonation of failure.

I'd certainly be interested to hear other points of view but my initial reaction to the latest report card is that given the difficult environment, we're not doing too bad. That is, 8 out of 22 being in positive territory is significantly better than what we did last year.

What do you think?

... and where did Boomer come from ...??

I've been around for quite some time, I simply choose not to post very often.

I have a strong bias towards TA, which I consider a rather individual pursuit. Not withstanding that I still like to keep an eye on fundamentals as well, hence my stock pick ... POH.

The annual IC challenge simply gave me a reason to throw a name in the hat which kind of gives me a low key interest in the forum without it taking over my life.

Probably a healthy dose of good fortune has me in the lead at the moment however I'm realistic enough to know the landscape can potentially change several times over between now and the end of the year.

Good luck to all.

Cheers
Boomer

Hey, Boomer, maybe your POH "ran over/took over" my NXS as she has "dropped" off the list. Is that because she in on , self-inflicked" temporary suspension or has YOGI just given her up, on my behalf, and "de-listed" her!

YOGI, please re-instate my "dilapidated" vessel back into shot position No. 20.

Thanks
Dolphin

P.S. Boomer, can't for the life of me see why POH, a pharmaceutical developer would want to take-over an Oil and Gas explorer

PBG, wooden spoon last month the best performing stock on ASX200 last week.I can't figure this one out. Either it is a dud or way oversold. Anyone for a free share?

I am in the money for now.Long and slow journey up, that is how a BULL travel.With the price of the ozzie dollar up 20% from last month, things are looking bright for importers.PBG has more to benefit still, riding itself of the hangers on.Now to get the country out of recession, we will see a rocket up the a#*) of PBG, we need a binoculars to see where it went then.

When PBG was selected, it was based on my own perception alone as it was mentioned by an analyst and some other brokers, "best to keep away from".
It look likely to be a big serge today on the all ords, basing on the close in Europe and the US.Commodities are up overnight and look like the stomach for risk has increased.
Technically, PBG has turned the corner and looking at MACD it is starting to turn up. With end of month coming up we are likely to see a breakout here.Someone may be able to post a chart here.

PBG breakout, higher SP in the making in the short term, long term a likely victim to a predator. May not even see out the year and sharp increased in profitability is very much in the pipe line.A well anticipated SP rise.Big volume traded however do your own research for your own personal situation.

Thanks Yogi but I think I liked it better still under "suspension"! Oh well, I'll remain positive for three reasons:-

1/...NXS has a lot of "bullish" sentiment to catch -up to most of the market since its March 09 lows.

2/...Today, the 1st day of a new month and she's already risen 5%; multiple that by 20 more trading day's in the month and by crikey I could be into the top 5.

3/...There's still 7 months to go and I know from "bitter" experience from last year's regatta with my MMX(leader at the half way buoy)that the tides can turn quickly....so watch out Rags and Co.!

Rags, I have good money riding on MCR. This one has no debts with good regular dividends.If it reaches $2 this month or next, will not be a surprise. I think PBG is the one that will really shine by end of the calender year. It would be good if we can finish 1, 2.

Great to see you are still around(I.C.), Yogi...some of us thought you had gone for good. Hope we can coax you into resuming with some of your interesting posts; I for one miss your overviews on the market indicies particularly.

P.S. Did you ever come across a Bryce Gilmore during your studies? I'm trying to locate his whereabouts these days.

Paul,

Thank you for organising the competition. It is also good that once the competition started, the rules have not changed on the way. Will you be organising another one this year? Good luck for the New Year.

CONGRATULATIONS to Sway. Wish I have some of my money on MCC. Hope you stayed all the way, sway.

With Best Wishes,

Peter

I've been on my cruise ship for 3 days and have not left my cabin yet. There are two doors in my cabin. One leads to the bathroom and the other has a sign on the door knob that says "Do not disturb".

Thanks to Yogiinoz for organising the comp and everyone who entered. I was lucky with MCC

If the comp is running again in 2010, I will take GMG. This is a Weinstein selection
- long Stage 1 basing period with high volume
- Stage 2 about to start (hopefully)
- no nearby resistance levels

In the real world, a stop at about $0.54 looks pretty safe.

GMG

Best of luck to everyone who enters.
Cheers

This is not a recommendation or advice. As they say .... DYOR.

jimmyswell USA L

Uranium, and the energy solution it provides, looks to be an interesting topic for 2010. ~70 new reactors are planned in the next few years.

I watch with keen interest the media chatter about Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan, Russia, Namibia and Niger getting aggressive about behaving more like a UPEC type "cartel". If the prophesy comes to pass, companies like USA will get speculator attention (or a takeover target from bigger cashed up producers).

In the past 6 months, Uranium SA has rallied from a consolidation region around 10c up to a ranging band between 19c and 29c. Can it ratchet itself up to 50c or beyond in the next 12 months?

I'm happy to post results each month if someone can organise moving the posts above to a new thread and propose a date for final entries (and handle any arguments

). I would think all entries should start with prices as of Dec 31?

Hi Libbie,

I am putting my hand up to list the entries in a new thread.

Should the competition not start with the prices of the open as at January 4 ?
