rampaging copperites - ridge list

G'day Folks,

On a quiet Sunday I have updated the Ridge List - that list of 59 stocks nominated by H.C. members at the end of October (nominal $1k per stock) last year to have the best growth at the end of October this year - measured against the XAO.

We are not home and hosed yet but the up-date as of Fridays close shows the Ridge List is up 28% overall against a 5.4% move in the XAO, thats 23% better off. The full list is shown below (Excel doesn't cut and paste too well) which shows the biggest gainers currently to be PSA + 207%, PNA +160%, EPT +158% and AUN +155%. There is no doubting the biggest loser - SGC showing a 100% loss through delisting; next are CSY at -54% and SYG at -53%.
