Frequently Asked Questions about this Article…

What is the Shares Race Week 2 article and what does it show for everyday investors?

It’s a snapshot of different picking approaches and the specific stocks contributors chose for this stage of the competition.

Who were the contributors or selectors featured in Shares Race Week 2?

The Week 2 line-up of selectors includes a mix of named commentators and themed entrants shown in the article — for example Doreen Daze (Astrologer), David Potts (AFR Investor), Richard Pritchard (Chartist), Gemma Salteri (Reader), Nick Coe (A Current Affair), Sheba Inv. (Investment Group Australia Foundation), Paul Mattiussi (Lifeguard), and a Dartboard entry (Carindale Prop). Each contributor’s individual stock picks are listed in the article.

Which stocks were most commonly picked in Shares Race Week 2?

Several names appear repeatedly across contributors’ portfolios. BHP Billiton is one of the most frequently selected stocks, and other commonly picked companies include Telstra Corp, Newcrest Mining, Resolute Mining, QBE Insurance Group, Wesfarmers and Macquarie Group — all of which appear multiple times in the Week 2 selections.

How are the contributors’ picks presented and valued in the article?

Each contributor’s picks are listed with individual dollar values next to each company name, and the picks are summed to show a total portfolio value for that contributor (for example one portfolio total shown is $100,632).

How can everyday investors use the Shares Race Week 2 picks as a starting point?

Use the Week 2 picks as a watchlist or idea generator: note which stocks multiple contributors selected, then research each company’s fundamentals, recent news and valuation before making investment decisions.
