4A4 Stock Competition Winner!

Congrats to Robert Comer (4A4) on winning the Stock Competition in Module 1 with a total profit of $133,779 (a return of 13.78% in just 6 weeks).
There were some big changes on the leaderboard in the last few days of trading due to volatility in world stock markets.
In order to see how well you have done, you can compare your total return to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Our competition started on 15/09 and ended on 27/10. During that period, the Dow Jones increased by 8.55%
You should compare your percentage total return to this 8.55%. Both Robert and Ronan Jennings had a total return that beat the Dow Jones. The majority of professional traders do not achieve this!
I hope you enjoyed the module. There will be a school Stock Competition next term (with prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd), so keep checking sgcbusiness.com for more details.

TY Stock Competition Winners – Module 2
Published February 24, 2010 Stock Market Leave a CommentTags: shares, stocks, vse
Well done to Damian Kopyto and Peter Gordon in the VSE Competition.
Damian is the overall winner with a total return of 11.5% and Peter is the top trader from 4A6 with a total return of 0.96%.
Ciolan Mellotte (+4.5%) and Cian O’Brien (+2.54%) were second and third respectively.
Of the thirty-five who took part in the competition, fifteen achieved a return greater than the market. The DJIA actually fell by 1.81% during our competition, so if you made a return better than -1.81%, you have “beaten the market“.
