IN AN  article on 30 June 2013, we presented a selection of our articles on 8 stocks that looked promising to readers who posted in our forum. 

In addition, these past articles have garnered a high volume of hits. We also took into account analysts' recommendations on these stocks.

As at end-yesterday, three months on, their stock prices have done OK (see table). The average price gain was 7.2%, far superior to the 0.55% rise in the benchmark Straits Times Index. (Both figures were looking even better until news broke about the insane possibility of a partial shutdown of the US government.)

Thus, the performance was 6.65 percentage points better! In 1Q and 2Q, the readers' selection gained 25.7% and 16.8%, outpacing the 4.4% rise and 4.8% fall of the Straits Times Index.

It's probably got a lot to do with luck too.

Again, considering reader popularity and stock fundamentals, analysts' recommendations, and not forgetting a bit of 'tikam tikam', we re-looked things and present here another selection of stocks (4 new, 4 old) and the articles we have done recently about them.  

What are your views? Please post them below.
