After a few months on FI, i decided to carry out a small experiment - buying 10 x Tracker 10.
My plan was to hold for 10 weeks and see what the return is like versus what i can do...
The results are (almost) in - 9 weeks gone and it has delivered a 15.4% increase on investment at current buy price. This is made up by a 7.3% return on investment through dividends - so 8.1% from player value increase.
For anyone that is interested, here's the detail:
Holding approx 180 different players and know the majority of their prices... So I've obviously spent way too long on here.
Totally addicted... Check probably once an hour, even if just for a quick refresh on top climbers/fallers and PF value.
I thought my obsession would tail off after a while, but 7 months later, still all over it!
Sleep is a thing of the past!
Yeah - i'm beyond addicted... Not sure what it is classed as!
Been on here about a year and waiting for the interest to subside... It just hasn't happened! There is always something going on!
@Ozzlebert - There are some very valid points here.
Personally, percentages work for me in terms of profitability.
However, to move a £10 player up 5%, (50p) - 5000 shares need to be bought...
To move a £1 player up 5% (5p) - only 500 shares need to be bought.
@playingcards1: Veratti @ 45p?! Nice! Hope you stocked up!
Just need to work out who will be the next flyer!
@NewUser49172 You can't drop Jesus at Christmas...
I'm just happy to welcome some Swedish users to the forum!!
Välkommen!!!!
@Ermejo - Good point - I definitely owe @Agatello a Peroni or 2 for the valuable insights over the past 6 months!
@Agatello - Keep the insights coming - they are greatly appreciated!
Ignore the minority who have nothing better to do but criticise.
@NewUser204643 - ...and this was after quite an increase on the index that i decided to take the plunge... Alot of people said that i had missed the boat... I reckon i got a free sailing! :)
@NewUser204643 - I Bought 10 x Tracker 10 on the 17th March 2018... Cost me £726.10, it's now worth £1162.10 - so £426 profit (60%) - with an additional £204.10 in dividends (28.1%).
Within the 10, 2 players didn't move/went down - Kane & Griezmann, but the other 8 made up for it...
Finally see that Big Bas Dost is on the move - and to Real Madrid too apparently!
The rumours have been on and off throughout the summer - but now seems to be the time to make his move...
@NewUser172727 - I'm not holding either at the moment - just waiting to see which clubs they land at before buying back in.
@NewUser162554 - there's always a chance.
I remember there being a '0% chance' of Goalies getting any kind of value supporting dividend only a month or so ago...
Lots of rumours surrounding the young Ajax stars moving into PB leagues.
De Ligt, De Jong, Neres and Ziyech amongst the front runners.
@NewUser207332 - occasionally FI block Instant sell. It often only lasts a few minutes, but can go on for a lot longer. Instant Sell seems to be working now.
@TrincheCarlovich - Aah! Didn't see that.
Any chance to get involved and show what he can do. Will see if he can take the chance on offer to prove his ability.
@Barkez_86 - Looks like Luis Muriel has turned the corner with a positive uptrend... I assume he will be in the starting line up for their EL match next week?
@TeamGB - He is flying today!! Apparently some media articles about him have been published, hence the buying frenzy!
