Fat Prophets' Jason McIntosh has set off in chase and traffic
manager Jenny Pike is not out of this one yet, but "the Chairman of
the Board", as it likes to be referred to, got wings in week two
thanks to a fine tip on Monto Minerals.
This mini ilmenite, felspar, apatite and titanomagnetite
explorer the magic stuff that helps make paint, porcelain,
fertilisers and much more delivered a fourth quarter report and got
a small share placement away. The combination was enough to send
its share price more than 20 per cent higher in a week, leaving the
Dartboard sitting pretty.
McIntosh manfully dug in with gold miner Resolute, while traffic
manager Pike weaved her way through the pack from fifth at the end
of week one to a handy-looking third. But that gap with the
Dartboard is growing.
Lest there be any confusion, Pike has the job title of traffic
manager but has nothing to do with roads, apparently although she
may drive to work. But her title is because she controls the flow
of work at an ad agency.
We like the cut of her share-tipping jib too not going out too
early, then pacing her way through the pack in week two. A very
measured and controlled performance. Let's hope she lands a couple
of key accounts in weeks three and four to see the Dartboard off.
Most of us are still smarting from astrologer Doreen Daze's victory
in the last race, but two in a row from the share-tipping space
cadet would create our own war of the worlds. Share race
respectability is at stake here; we want tipsters fine and true,
tipsters who have spotted value and are prepared to put their name
and photo to 10 big ones over four weeks. Not these chancers,
running at a million to one, they said.
Thankfully the historians have been at work, and in a bid to
break the fug that has befallen our competition because of the
Daze/Dartboard stranglehold, the chairman has requested a call of
champions. This is the 53rd clash of our share tipster titans, who
has won the most?
Cue drum roll. Cue trumpet. Cue Richard Burton: "Across the gulf
of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours have regarded this
share race with envious eyes to them, our king is . . . Doreen Daze
with seven wins!"
Can it get any worse? Nope. Bring on week three.
