Bringing up the rear I should be circumspect with comments. But I chose stocks that were going to (hopefully) mature in price as this experiment draws to a close. I had another look at my choices before posting to see how wide of the mark I am. Have to say that I would today make the same choices (mistakes!). I know there are others that have chosen metal and oil stocks that are doing much better, and my view is that they will do significantly better in several months time. Being somewhat contrarian I do not often share commonheld market positions, which is exactly why my group of 10 has no short term hope of improving - in fact some of them have yet to achieve commercial viability. My view of the broader equities market is that it will turn down with only a few sectors, and a few companies within those sectors, performing decently. This experiment encapsulates my medium term view so if I am wrong I can sleep soundly knowing my position in the hall of infamy cannot slide further. Good trading.  gohard Member Username: gohard Post Number: 151 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Saturday, August 14, 2004 - 12:20 pm:     Hey Shawky Another great week As indicated in my earlier post i was in trouble with ASX and TEL this followed up with FXJ and IPG also hitting the stops Looking at the close on Friday i have chosen the following replacements if there is a problem re numbers being able to be replaced i will adjust my decision if you can advise me thanks.

No coincidence that Nightstalker and myself have been very close together as our Investment Styles are very similar, combining F/A with T/A (ala Jim Berg). I'm that slack I can't even remember my Portfolio, so I haven't exercised any stops and this has kept me in good stead (CTX being a prime example.) Rederob: Maybe you are looking at the Charts Upside Down when you make your selections !!!! (Sorry ;-) ) Having fun. Hutcho  shawky Member Username: shawky Post Number: 353 Registered: 11-2003 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Saturday, August 14, 2004 - 02:51 pm:     Gohard Orders duly entered and your corrected portfolio value is up from $102k to $103k minus my commission.

If you could also include the % gain/loss of each stock that would be handy as well! Thanks, n2w ..  rederob Member Username: rederob Post Number: 273 Registered: 10-2002 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Saturday, August 14, 2004 - 03:55 pm:     Hutcho Thanks for the chart tip. Apparently all those squiggly lines mean something and there is a particular way to observe them - now you tell me!!!. Shawky, I'm surprised most days by what the market does. So if I'm better placed in 6 months that will be a pleasant surprise. Seriously, there are some great commentaries in this thread on why certain selections have been made. For sheer strength of character in running with a narrow sector for all the right reasons, including massive risk, I take my hat off to marsupial. I note that hilarius is away doing Mother Superior's bidding and wish him safe travels. Has he been warned about the surgery that is performed on newcomers as they cross the border into the sunshine State?  hutcho Member Username: hutcho Post Number: 418 Registered: 03-2003 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Saturday, August 14, 2004 - 06:16 pm:     Hi Guys TOL @ $10.78 !!!! (UGH) If I could drop TOL for LNN (both "at Market, On Opening" on Monday) and drop TSE for UGL (at Close on Friday) (UGL announces on Monday !!!!) Hutcho  shubh_labh Member Username: shubh_labh Post Number: 59 Registered: 06-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Saturday, August 14, 2004 - 06:33 pm:     Redrob, regards. Six months are still long way to go. All you need is just couple of stocks to start NE trend. That's all it really takes to make up for small losses in the rest. I must salute you for your courage. Please don't be offended.... do call me a coward for I'll never dare put my entire capital in to sink or swim stocks you have picked. Here is your selection: BSO, CMQ, DIO, KCN, LUM, MMN, MRE, OEC, OXR and SMY. Pl do not misunderstand my comments for your picks are very promising. Just that, I have lost too much in promising stories and announcements of cbd, sie, mul, lum, aft and such others to attempt again. I expect my portfolio to slide once market goes in to bullish trend and will most probably end up with least gain among the group. At the moment, I am surprised to find my selections holding well considering my first priority tends to be capital protection and modest increase of no more than 25-30% a year. Here to learn. Please do not consider my mention of any stocks to be a recommendation to buy, sell or hold. I am here to learn and that's all I am doing...... learning. Only serious advice I can offer is PLEASE be careful, do your own research AND consult qualified experts before buying or selling stocks. Never forget: its your hard earned money.  nightstalker Member Username: nightstalker Post Number: 367 Registered: 04-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Saturday, August 14, 2004 - 07:23 pm:     Hutcho - you were certainly right in saying you and I have similar strategies! I got out of TOL a couple of weeks ago, and I hold LNN and I'm back into UGL, although I won't count it into my group of 10 for this exercise. Couple of others that seem to be doing nice things for me at the moment, although I think neither is on my list of 10, are BSL and UTB. And Rederob - I've been sitting on MMN in my bottom drawer for many months now, so you're not alone. Silver price is holding well above $US6 an ounce, MMN have upgraded the reserves they are sitting on, and it's only a matter of time once the mine is finished and producing before these bottom-drawer stocks become top drawer. I seriously think MMN wil be $1 shares at least - but not for some time yet. What an interesting exercise this is, from so many different aspects. Best wishes, NightStalker - still scrambling up the steep part of the learning curve  rederob Member Username: rederob Post Number: 274 Registered: 10-2002 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Sunday, August 15, 2004 - 12:07 am:     Shubh labh Dead right, so I only have about 25% of my personal portfolio actually invested in them. But in real life I did add into LUM at 16.5cents last week and CMQ at 3.30 - sheer madness maybe! Nightstalker, that MMN is close to busting north again. I am an unashamed gold bull that thinks silver is a better investment, but there are no other pure silver plays in OZ. Might have to bite the bullet and buy into BHP again if silver ever cracks US$10/oz - BHPs Cannington project in Qld is in the top few silver mines in the world. Indeed a great exercise and the next 6 months might surprise all of us - can anyone see Telstra at $7?  shawky Member Username: shawky Post Number: 355 Registered: 11-2003 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Monday, August 16, 2004 - 01:57 pm:     Hutcho Just post the trades in the format requested above and I'll make the appropriate changes.
