Little old for arcade games. My guess is there is around 80 players who will be live at 10am. There are about 558 £25 bid chunks out there and 34 £50 chunks. So best you could do is £775, mean is ~£220 and min is £0. Just to put that into interest earned perspective (which MT do very nicely on their website) you earn £47 max, £13 average or £0 for 10 minutes of fingerwork. I'd still like to see a managed account of smaller stuff at £10k or £5k if you could get one of these it would be £600 or £300 every 6 months with a rolling contract. Piper, aargh airframe conditions, hope the engineer was qualified, seen too many with weird flying time left on. Ah, well, one I will not bid on. Gannets cleared the lot in 6 minutes flat. I got 14 bids so I estimate my 80 users was a bit high, more like 43 players. Still the day is young, we just had snow in Yorkshire and I'm off to the gym.

'oo'eck. That means yorkshireman will go back into hibernation!
PS I was a bit slow on the keyboard, so had to make do with nine bits! That'll do - I'm still on "tread carefully"* with MThingy.
* edit: Yes, I tread carefully on all the other platformthingiestoo! Hate crapscrap/breathoffreshbear/ACplumbers/lodgydawyers/irishsofas etc!

I really need to get me a faster computer... Maybe if I could get enough investments I might just be able to put the interest to good use. Well it was a 'Fun' six minutes any how and at least I now have some funds already waiting for the next shot.

I prefer the Managed Portfolio approach as the start time doesn't seem to be too much relevance. Then again I suspect if you've got triple supercharged fingers which I haven't, then the current scrum is more appealing.
Looking at a couple of loans that I picked up not sure they will buy me a daily newspaper. So the Managed is superior IMO.

At great personal cost I have now completed the Supply/Demand Venn Diagram for MoneyThing. Please feel free to use this information for future investment planning.

I agree with you bugs4me about the managed funds. Plus I was wondering how a 50k MF would be received, with say a £750-£1,000 limit. After all if you were to buy a slice from each of five 10k MF's that would come to £750. So why not just do it in one hit. I'd much rather sit by the computer for that than have to do it 5 days in a row. Yes I can be a lazy bugger at times

Yes I can be a lazy bugger at times I would have thought it would have done very well but it all depends whether MoneyThing could keep it 'topped up'. I suppose ATM a few folks find the scrum a bit of fun but that will probably soon wear off. Plus of course you need to be in front of the screen as there certainly isn't any leeway if you're a couple of minutes late.

I thought about that too, but then I would think it could be more straight forward for Ed to keep a 50k MF 'topped up' rather than five seperate 10k MF's.

I must have been lucky / fast / ingenious as I only missed out on CS123, but it's certainly a lot more effort than buying into a Managed Portfolio.
