Frequently Asked Questions about this Article…

What is the Shares Race feature in this InvestSMART article?

The article is a Shares Race instalment on the InvestSMART site that collects stock picks from a mix of contributors and readers. This week’s piece lists the companies each participant selected for the share market ‘race’, showing a snapshot of popular ASX stock picks and contributors’ selections.

Which ASX companies are featured in this week’s Shares Race?

The article includes a wide range of ASX names. Prominent companies mentioned include BHP Billiton, Telstra, JB Hi‑Fi, National Australia Bank, Wesfarmers, Woolworths, Rio Tinto, Seek, Fairfax Media, Atlas Iron and Fortescue Metals, among others.

Who contributed the stock picks shown in the article?

A variety of contributors provided picks for this instalment — for example David Potts, Richard Pritchard, Jim Gracie, Doreen Daze, Denise Borthwick, Garry Scott and a few reader entries (including a student entry and a ‘Dartboard’ selection). The piece mixes professional and reader contributions.

Are the picks in the Shares Race article investment recommendations I should act on?

No. The article presents participants’ picks and opinions rather than personalised financial advice. Everyday investors should treat these selections as starting points for further research, not as direct buy or sell recommendations.

What do the numbers shown next to each company mean?

The article displays figures alongside many company names. To understand what those numbers represent (votes, scores or other metrics), check the full InvestSMART article for the author’s explanation and context.

How can everyday investors use the Shares Race lists effectively?

Use the lists as idea-generation: note companies that repeatedly appear, then perform your own due diligence — review company reports, recent announcements and financials or consult an adviser. The Shares Race is useful for spotting popular ASX names to research further.

Where can I read the full Shares Race coverage and find more details?

You can read the full instalment — including context for the picks and the numbers shown — on the InvestSMART website where the Shares Race series is published.

Is the Shares Race a regular series and how often is it published?

Yes — the title for this piece indicates a weekly instalment (this one is labelled week 4). For future episodes and ongoing coverage, check the InvestSMART shares or investment-news sections.
