This year’s competition is proving to be very competitive with 527 competitors battling out to win a nice prize. We are currently in 10th place with a gain of 33.69% so far.

However, like all teams who passionately believe in what they are doing we did not have a unanimous agreement regarding which stocks to pick and the final selection went through many changes. One of the team, Joe Kirtley, who is an out and out gold bug decided to go it alone and entered his own selection. A gold miner who operates mainly in Spain called Rio Narcea filled all ten spots in his selection. He is currently in 8th place with a gain of 36.63%, which is a terrific achievement.

We wish him well for the remainder of the competition and if he does really well he will be suitably rewarded with the sack.

Just a joke folks after all it is the morning after St. Patrick’s Night!
