Ronaldo vs Messi debate cleaned up
Another incredible week at the football stock market has seen the Footie Index climb 38 points with confidence boosted by impressive early returns.
The latest in a string of en vogue youngsters keeping traders on alert is Kevin De Bruyne, whose value has rocketed 34 per cent in a matter of weeks.
Anthony Martial (+60.7 per cent) and Raheem Sterling (+15 per cent) also representing shrewd moves for early adopters. But it is the great Messi vs Ronaldo debate that has Football Index fans glued to the platform.
For the first time, fans can put their money where their mouth is on the issue, and they've been clamouring to do so. When Football Index opened for business 21 days ago, both Messi and Ronaldo were priced at £3. Unsurprisingly, interest in both has been at a premium but it is Ronaldo who has pulled away at the top of the market.
In a matter of days, the price of a Ronaldo future has risen by 26 per cent, a staggering price change when you consider the Bank of England base rate.
Football Index is a revolutionary trading platform which allows customers to buy units (known as Futures) of the world's top footballers and then sell them like commodities on a stock exchange.
The price of the players is dictated purely by demand, with profit potential in every trade. Messi currently trails Ronaldo 12 pence per future in the market, but at least one crafty punter is looking to capitalise on the Argentine's current injury: “Ronaldo is great but fans don't love him. Lionel is everybody's favorite and once he's fit he'll take his rightful place at the top.”
