Tip Submission Guidelines

1. To enter a tip into the STT Tipping Competition, a tipster must create anew post (the Post) in the current Short Term Trading Weekly or Weekendthreads.
2. The Post must contain a first line in the following syntax: STTCOMP [Ticker][Type] [Direction].
3. Example: STTCOMP ABC FA LONG, where ABC denotes the stock code (ticker).
4. Note: Tips are extracted by an automated search, therefore, anydeviation from the above standard syntax might exclude a tip from the search,hence may not be considered a valid entry.
5. Following the first line of the Post explained above, it must contain a briefoverview of the stock, including information such as Shares on Issue (SOI),Market Cap (MC), Cash in Hand (CiH) and its main business / operations.
6. Then the Post must contain a detailed description of the Catalyst orReason the tipster expects to move the stock price. For example, a FA upcomingevent/reason or a TA setup which would be the catalyst to move the price of thestock. Tips with poor descriptions or containing only graphics (even though thegraphics. i.e. charts with texts, may present substantial backing) might voidthe entry.
7. If a tipster intends to enter tips for both TA and FA tips for the samestock, two separate posts must be created.

See a sample entry below:

 

=========================================== 
STTCOMP CBX FA LONG

Bauxite Explorer in Queensland and WA
Market Cap (MC) $5m

Cash in Hand (CiH) $1.5m.

Top 5 shareholders hold 80% so very tightly held Fallen from grace last yearafter its lead Bauxite project Pisolite Hills which was moving towardsproduction and had offtake agreements in place was placed in a mining ban area.Company is pushing ahead with its secondary project Bauxite Hills which isfairly advanced and has a PFS already. Company has the support and backing ofmajor shareholder MTE who has pledged to use its cash reserves to assist inproject development.

Given the huge rerating of QBL over the past fewweeks and the many similarities the 2 companies seem to share, similar tightshare structures, favourable locations to port and infrastructure, shallow nearsurface deposits amenable to free digging and so low-cost mining andextraction. CBX might be well positioned for a large rerating too.
