SHARES RACE WEEK 2
Frequently Asked Questions about this Article…
The article presents a Shares Race roundup that lists contributors by name alongside the individual company stock picks they put forward. Each contributor (for example, David Potts, Richard Pritchard and Graeme Cullen) appears with a set of companies and numbers next to those names in the list provided.
The extract names several contributors, including David Potts (AFR investor), Richard Pritchard (Chartist), Graeme Cullen (real estate agent), Philip Baker (AFR associate editor), Boz McDonald (engineer), and John Schneider (investor), as well as entries labelled 'Dartboard' and 'Doreen Daze'.
The list includes a wide range of companies and sectors evident from the company names: mining and resources (for example, BHP Billiton, Fortescue Metals, Lynas), energy companies (Origin Energy, Linc Energy, Tap Oil), retailers and consumer names (JB Hi‑Fi, Myer Holdings), telco and media (Telstra, News Corp), insurance and financials (QBE Insurance), and biotech/medical companies (Cochlear, Prima BioMed, Phosphagenics).
The article simply lists contributors and the stocks they picked. Everyday investors should treat these as individual contributors' selections rather than tailored financial advice and use them as a starting point for their own research before making any investment decisions.
The extract shows numbers next to each company, but the provided content does not include an explicit explanation of what those numbers represent. To understand whether they are vote counts, price targets, portfolio values or something else, check the full article on the InvestSMART site for the original context and explanation.
Several well-known names appear in the list, including BHP Billiton, Telstra Corp, Fortescue Metals Group, JB Hi‑Fi, Origin Energy, QBE Insurance Group, REA Group, Seek and Cochlear.
Use the list to spot recurring themes or frequently mentioned companies, then research those businesses further — read their financial reports, recent news and analyst commentary. The article provides names to investigate, but you should confirm fundamentals and suitability for your risk profile before acting.
