Race to £10,000: Our investing monkey swings into the lead because it luggage a £155 revenue
In our Race to £10,000, our investing monkey has leapt from fourth to first, making £155 in the past seven days.
Money Mail has given £500 to five experts in different fields (and to our own investing monkey) and challenged them to turn it into £10,000 as quickly as possible.
The investing monkey, run by Money Mail, invests in randomly picked penny stocks.
Its biggest win came from a 330 per cent increase in shares in tech and AI company Xiao-i between Friday and yesterday.
The monkey overtook antiques dealer Gordon Kennedy, who doubled his money on a granite pestle and mortar he picked up for £35 and sold for £70 at the Norfolk Antiques Fair.
In third is Jess Morton, vintage clothes reseller, who is splitting her purchases into bundles to sell online.
