Stock picking contest

hottipper · 04-01-2021 02:45PM #1

This is a quarterly stock picking contest.

Everyone gets to pick 3 stocks per quarter.

When filling out the form below, only type in the stock ticker (symbol) not the company name.

do not use the $ sign before the stock symbol.

You need to complete Columns A, B, C, D

The rest will be calculated from a google feed

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rBukJ1VwJBwVk-_S_gM3xU0cy35a8awExnA2g29XPWw/edit#gid=0

If it goes well we can do one for the next quater.

Spreadsheet will close for edits end of day Wednesday.
Calculations done from that closing price.

Hi all, just stopping in to say I am onboard with this bit of fun. I only found this place a few months ago and boy can you get sucked into the world of stocks and shares. Good luck to everyone for '21.

Good Idea.

Not a stock picker and wouldn't know half the stocks picked, but for a contrarian view...

Long all unique stocks.
Short all stocks mentioned more than Once.
50/50 equal weighted to all stocks.

Be the Villain for a bit of Craic.

Starting price is close of play today. hope it dumps today or they wont even beat the spy

@One More & @jonwin
Somebody may have removed your stock picks accidentally (probably for research) Could you add them again?

Hope putting UK based Investment Trusts in there is OK? (CEF's), assuming this is pulled via a google feed it should find the tickers OK

hottipper · 06-01-2021 10:36PM

Ping me if its wrong and ill correct it

massdebater · 07-01-2021 06:28AM

Anyone else actually buy their picks on wed? Think I'd be more sickened if they did well and I didn't buy them!

Shedite27 · 07-01-2021 11:04AM

Just realised I didn't put the .L at the end of my pick, any chance I can get ARB changed to ARB.L?

Jaysus most of you lads are waaay outperforming the market today, fair play!

Shedite27 · 07-01-2021 03:47PM

Should the "Total" column in the spreadsheet not be an average? Like if I've a 3 stocks up 1, 3 and 5%, I'd expect my result to be 3%, rather than 9%

Timmaay · 07-01-2021 03:52PM

Do a sort by total gains also, we want a nice league table with the winners up the top for bragging rights lol.

Was thinking everybody was doing too well :pac:
yeah let me change that

cefh17 · 07-01-2021 04:26PM

Spreadsheet looks great, fair play for setting it up.. Could you make the columns narrower? Should be able to fit it all in without scrolling
