We’re nearing the end stretch of the 2019 Fantasy Investing season, with only one more check-in before we crown a champion. The order at the top has stayed the same, but we have a change in the bottom since the last Fantasy Investing check-in. Matt has overtaken Daniel thanks largely to a big rebound in Tesla (TSLA). Adrian continues to gain on Paul as the margin between first and second is down to less than two percentage points.

The S&P 500 is up around 21% year-to-date, so our three portfolios which are entirely individual stocks (as opposed to ETFs or index funds) are all still beating the market. Can this hold up for the rest of the year? We shall see.
