Things went a bit wrong overnight on Sunday

I switched out of Hoy and into Gault at about 11pm. Then I didn't check the account again until lunchtime on Monday. In the interim Gault had risen then crashed, whilst Hoy had overcome his late Sunday wobble to start charging. This error cost me a massive 19% and pretty much rules out any idea of taking a capping at the end of this week. (I had been on about £1.4m on Saturday and had been toying with the idea of capping instead of downtrading and running for a fourth week.)

Today has been Jade Johnson and Mike Gault, again. Tonight it's a win bonus, and I'm going to take a flyer at cheap Aston Villa players to score first over the more expensive (but more sensible) Man City listees.

Oh boy! Some times things turn around in your favour big stylee

I opted out of buying a cheap Villa player as the cheapest one was injured and hence not playing. The next cheapest was more or less the same price as Calamity James, so I switched from Villa to Man City. Good move, they won, and I was getting paid £1 on a share that had cost £2.20ish

Then I turned my thoughts to divi v day trade. I spotted that Patrick Vieira was going to get a big dividend payout on a pretty cheap share, so I went all in on him; plus I reinvested my win bonus winnings with him the next day. He did not disappoint. I got a staggering 217% return midnight to midnight Monday to Wednesday, which is one of my best ever.

From there on it was Jana Pittman from midnight Wednesday to Thursday evening and Kim Collins from then until about an hour ago. On each of their runs they put on over 80% growth. Which is unprecedented performance.

Now, from a poor start of £1.4m on Saturday I am sitting on a cash mountain of £37m, looking for a place to invest it overnight for my capping - a 3 week run capping I might add - tomorrow morning.

On top of this, I've placed 8th and 5th these last two days after the divis paid out.

Yep, I am one happy

Thirty-eight million pound capping

(Mind you, it could have been £40m if I hadn't got spooked by Kim Collins' late evening wobble and shifted my money to Finlay Mickel, via Andrew Flintoff )

Mmmm this is good!

Congratulations GD

I went through the £600million barrier this morning.

I now have a stack of some £605million

(True that is a long way back on the top two players who are flying towards the £1billion mark at a great rate of knots.)
