Our weekly tips section provides investment ideas in considerable volume over the course of a year (170 buy ideas and 22 sell ideas, not including the four tips in this issue). Making sense of how we've done over so many discrete time periods and with tips from so many different indices and sectors is somewhat byzantine. The way I try to come up with a few sensible numbers that may give readers an indication of how our weekly tips have done is to assess each tip against the index it heralds from (FTSE 100, 250, Small Cap, Fledgling, Aim or an international index).
It’s all relative
