Fantasy Investing – Apr 2019 Standings

Fantasy Investing – Apr 2019 Standings

We’re back after a brief hiatus in March.

The market has slowed down a bit since its torrid start to the year, and while some portfolios have gone up while others have gone down, the order is almost unchanged since two months ago. Things have tightened up at the top where Adrian is under a percentage point behind me and Gurkie is pretty close on his tail. At the bottom, Daniel has leap-frogged Matt as Tesla (the only stock down among all our picks) proves to be a drag on his mostly index fund portfolio.

Biggest winner so far is Mercado Libre (MELI) up almost 70% for the year. The consistency award so far goes to Adrian, though, whose worst performing stock is still up over 30%. Check out the full results below.
