Amazing to see the S&P500 ranked 39 out of 46 entries, I'll be paying very close attention to the picks next quarter for sure!

If we did this any other year the returns would be nothing like that. Absolutely crazy month.

Are you not confident in repeating your 99% YTD return next month

Indeed. And it may not have even been 4 dollars i sold it for. It was probably less. Spent like 200 on it on revolut and very nearly forgot about it as i never trade stocks. Wish i had forgotten about it be worth nearly 20k

This stock was one of my 1st buys aswell only a small holding by most peoples standards and was delighted to more than double my money when i sold @ about $12.

It's crazy to see how high it has gone since but well done to anyone who held on in there, not jealous at all!!

From zero to hero. Thank you Ocugen!

Mental watching the swings here over the last few weeks.... one day you're a hero, next day.....

Anyone else feel like everything is going to go belly up in the next few months? Feels to me like we're on the precipice of a major market correction.

It had an unbelievable day and a massive surge at the end of the day. Up 200% today. I luckily managed to get in last week at .95. I regret not dropping it here now. Still not a bad entry point if it keeps going up.

As long as the stimulus money keeps coming and people are still getting welfare/paid while WFH I can see it holding until after the summer. The real loser is currency deflation, if you have cash sitting in a bank it is taking a hammering.

This is a quarterly stock picking contest.

Everyone gets to pick 3 stocks per quarter.

Will you be adding another 3 sheets at the bottom for Q2/Q3/Q4 instead of separate google sheet links?

Is the idea at the end of Q1 to stop the tickers current prices and give the final gains/prices for the picks?

Personally think we should ALSO keep the Q1 (+ eventually Q2/Q3) picks going until year end so people can see how long those picks play out for and for others they can just see the results at the end of Q1 etc. Would be able to tally for the full year too then.

Been talking about market correction for yonks. I don't think it'll happen just on its own without some event, as my parish priest used to say "what we need is another world war to calm the people down". Guy was crazy in the coconut.

yes & yes
I'm not sure if i can disable editing for 1 sheet and make the other available though, would be great if we can, will check it out and let you know. Either way will leave Q1 running for the year anyways - no harm. I think Q2 should be a new sheet starting from 0% but you can always choose the same stocks again

The fact I am 35th out of 46 by only having a gain of 7% in 6-7 weeks shows what a state the stock market is in!
Beating the S&P but behind the nasdaq index.

The fact that everyone of the 46 are positive also tells you the same. You could pick a stock out of your a**se over the past 9 months and it would be up 20+%

cefh17 · 02-03-2021 1:57am

Of course the day the competition closes one of my picks (LTR) is currently +17% in the days trading and +17% overall. As it happened I bought a tranche of shares in them during the competition at 45.5c.

One of the drilling results from exploration at their Moora site returned very favourable gold concentrations. More drilling results to come and a new CEO in May, I may go buy some more

You're right.. that is how time/quarters work

Timmaay · 02-03-2021 2:43pm

From being something like 80% up 3wks ago to being -18% (and in last place lol) now, ok picking a pure pennystock and 2 other very speculative growth companies definitely was a risk move that hasn't paid off haha.

Thanks for stepping in and moving me off the bottom, no sudden jumps now before term ends.

mickotoole · 03-03-2021 4:54pm

OCGN saving my ass. Funnily enough they are doing what I expected VBIV to do for me. Worse luck is that I actually sold my OCGN shares to purchase more VBIV

Irishder · 05-03-2021 2:41pm

will there be any recovery before the end of the month, crazy swings in such a short period.

It's carnage at the minute. Hard to know if we will see any recovery before month end

hottipper · 14-03-2021 10:10am

Ive added a new sheet to the existing spreadsheet for Q2

At the bottom you will see the new sheet/tab titled Q2 2021
Still time for existing one to run but also think of the next ones

Timmaay · 14-03-2021 11:01am

The average gain for everyone is 20.37%, s&p 5% in the same time, not bad given the last 3wks or so growth stocks carnage.

Open to everyone its just the Q1 sheet thats locked.
The more the better

hottipper · 15-03-2021 12:33pm

Ive added another tab now at the bottom for some extra information on the share picks. Might be useful if you want to do some research on them yourself.
Its locked - ill copy all the share picks there every few days

Kilboor · 16-03-2021 2:53pm

The prize was everyone chipping in 100 quid each to the winner wasn't it ?

Mad to think that at one stage everyone was in the green and now its looking like its going to end with only roughly 50% of people in profit.

That being said, I somehow feel more confident in the next quarter

Shedite27 · 25-03-2021 6:02pm

When's the cutoff for picking for Q2?

Mad that none of us had the biggest stock of the quarter - GME

Next Wednesday the 31st of march.
Lets see if this end of quater sell-off is mostly done or is there more to it.
Have to choose before next quater starts though just to make it more complicated :pac:

Timmaay · 27-03-2021 10:11pm

I'd suggest that if you don't post up 3 new picks, your original 3 automatically get rolled over into the next quarter!

Nemeses2050 · 29-03-2021 2:57pm
