The problem is that the average tipster is terrible at it. So that is roughly 100 UK companies tipped a year. Excluding REITs, Collective Investments and Holding Companies, there are currently 1264 listed UK companies, so this publication alone tips 8% of the UK companies a year. That is 19% of UK companies tipped each year! It is certainly possible that not every tipster is equal, and some have skill at stock-picking, whereas most do not.
