Thanks Joe! It's actually pretty exciting to win! Well done to Peter and Buckfront, and everyone who managed a positive result, it was a pretty challenging month. Craigj did particularly well, just getting knocked out of the top three at the last minute.

Yes it was a tight one there for a while. Congrats Sdajii and Peter. Thought I might pull it off 'till two days ago.

Noticed TLG up 8.16% just now. Arrrgh.

Best of luck to all in May.

Thanks Joe and the other lucky winners.

Don't know what I will do with the prize money. I could ask Joe to donate the charity or and I'm tempted to risk it by day-trading in a forum thread. I would even consider using the sponsor's product as they have sponsored the monthly comp for a while now. Let me think about it and discuss it with Joe.

Bugga, didn't get the Wooden Spoon

Seriously, this comp. is fun and thanks to ASF for running it and to the sponsors for stumping up the prize money.

Congrats to all the winners and of course the losers for playing the game.

I thanked Joe but actually forgot to thank eToro for putting up the prize money. Thank you!

It's a fun game, and I sometimes watch it even if I've forgotten to put an entry in myself; it's interesting to see what people choose and why, and adds something interactive to the forum. Not too many forums have a competition with prizes like this for members, it's pretty impressive.
