Football share league: week 7


11th April, 2009

With just two weeks to go, it looks like we have a three-horse race. A very strong week for Capital One’s share price has seen Nottingham Forest join Hertha Berlin (Deutsche Bank) and Manchester United (AIG) at the top. Deutsche Bank’s price rose for the fifth successive week, given Hertha a five-point lead in first place.
Elsewhere, Wigan have jumped up the table after JJB Sports’ value went up by more than one quarter in a week. Inter Milan (Pirelli) did well, too – having been a loss-maker for five weeks, they are now giving me a healthy profit.
Overall my shares are now woth £1,969 having been as low as £1,300 just six weeks ago. As someone who has never really followed the stock exhanges that closely (but does read the news headlines about the economy), I find that pretty remarkable.
Full table (last week in brackets):
1 (1) Hertha Berlin [Deutsche Bank] – 202pts (197)
2 (2) Manchester United [AIG] – 197pts (193)
3 (3) Nottingham Forest [Capital One] – 193pts (153)
——————————————————————-
4 (7) Chivas [Grupo Bimbo] – 132pts (122)
5= (4) Nantes [Synergie] – 128pts (127)
5= (13) WIgan [JJB Sports] – 128pts (100)
7 (10=) Inter Milan [Pirelli] – 127pts (105)
8 (5=) Manchester City [Thomas Cook] – 123pts (125)
9 (5=) Anderlecht [Fortis] – 120pts (125)
10 (10=) Sampdoria [ERG] – 108pts (105)
11 (14) Sevilla [888.com] – 106pts (92)
12= (9) Bayern Munich [Deutsche Telekom] – 105pts (107)
——————————————————————-
12= (10=) Ajax [Aegon] – 105pts (105)
14 (8) River Plate [Petrobras] – 103pts (113)
15 (15) LA Galaxy [Herbalife] – 92pts (89)
Total value: £1,969 (£1,858), a profit of £469 in seven weeks

  2. OK, not doubled – forgot that u started with £1,500 but the last few weeks have been pretty remarkable.
    For those lucky (or mad) enough to own shares over that time (me!), happy days :)
