.... on the Competitions message board.

And the winner is (so far) brokers "Forsyth Barr".   The ForBar portfolio 
contains three winners: Waste Management, Hellabys and Fletcher 
Building and two losers Fisher and Paykel Appliances and Auckland 
International Airport.   However, AIA is within half a percent of its 
competition opening point, so it is perhaps a bit churlish to call it a 
'loser'.  I think it is fair to say that the secret of this ForBar portfolio is 
not a particular share, but more the fact that big losers have been 
avoided.

Flying the flag for the sharechatters, and in second place overall, is 
Nigel B.  His winners CEN and GPG have not performed strongly 
enough to balance the losses on his other three selections but he is 
not far from breaking even.

The best performing individual shares so far, of all the shares selected, 
are:
 
Vertex ( +16.4% ), Richmond ( +10.2%), CDL Hotels ( +8.57%), 
Hellaby ( +5.5%), and Capital Properties ( +4.48% ). 

One of the obvious losers since the last reporting date is 'People's 
Picks', down from the no.2 spot to no. 5.   Yet this is still a 
comparatively creditable result, and fall can be explained because the 
Air New Zealand share price has dipped. 

Let's hope that more of us can be back in the black next month.  If 
things carry on thi way we face the prospect of being beaten by the 
brokers!
