It's all just Money, Money, Money with you isn't it? Well you can have your Dirty Cash. Sharedealing is just wanting Money For Nothing. You just want it Easy (Like Sunday Morning). Instead you should get a job at Tesco like the woman stacking shelves, She Works Hard For the Money.
Unlike The Guy works Down the Chipshop Swears he's Elvis and doesn't work hard, like most Men at Work.
Psychologists have found that in 87% of cases you need some form of symbol recognising their authority for men to become productive, you don't tend to get much out of Men Without Hats.

Well done Mintman. In the last League table posted in April I was 24th and stone last so I started to take it a bit more seriously, done some trading and finished up in 3rd place. :D

Nice going, Mintman: the only positive in a Fiso field of negativity...

Disconcerted by own final position as, probably like most on here, didn't manage a single transfer during the nine months.

Overall, it looks like just 48 finish with plus figures, led by Michael Karney with +8.46%.

If only 48 finished with positive figures then that is an amazing result Mintman!

Having learned from the first game I have developed a new strategy which may require a re-convening of the G7 to help the markets with another bail out by the time I am finished. 8-)

The Whipping Boys are pending if that is OK. I reckon this could be a good learning curve for the real thing if I can find the time to play it properly.

Remember that if you want to be in with the chance of winning a prize the deadline for submitting your Portfolio is tomorrow 31st October - 12 Noon. No more entries to the Mini League will be accepted after this deadline.

For those who are unsure of how it works, or have difficulty in selecting a Portfolio there is an automatic fund selection facility (lucky dip) :D
