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.

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.

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)
