What do the dollar figures next to each company and at the end of each entry represent?

The article displays dollar amounts beside each listed company and a final total for each entrant (for example, many lines end with a total such as $104,967). The article itself does not explicitly define whether those figures are share prices, allocated holdings or portfolio valuations — it simply shows the amounts alongside each pick and a total.

The picks span a wide range of sectors. Examples from the article include mining and resources (BHP, Rio Tinto, Fortescue, Newcrest, numerous junior miners), banking and financials (Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, Westpac, Macquarie), retail (Woolworths, JB Hi‑Fi, Pac Brands), energy and oil (Origin Energy, Woodside, Tap Oil), insurance and health (QBE, CSL, ResMed) and materials/industrial names (BlueScope, Iluka).

Are smaller or speculative stocks included in the Week 1 lineups?

Yes. In addition to blue‑chip names, entrants listed a number of smaller or exploration/resource companies. Examples in the article include Alkane Resources, Alacer Gold, Augur Resources, Consolidated Tin, Molopo Energy, Tap Oil and other junior miners and energy explorers.

Does the Shares Race Week 1 article provide investment advice I can copy?

The article is a record of contestants’ picks and their totals in the Shares Race. It presents what entrants selected but does not present formal buy/sell recommendations or guidance. Readers should interpret these lineups as contest entries rather than direct investment advice.

Where can I find the full list of each entrant’s picks from Week 1?

The article itself contains the complete lineups for each entrant — names followed by the companies they chose and the dollar figures. For example, Doreen Daze’s line includes AMP, BHP Billiton, BlueScope Steel, Consolidated Tin, Molopo Energy, Pac Brands, Rio Tinto, Telstra, Virgin Blue Holdings and Westpac, followed by her total.
