Last Friday’s charts quiz asked you to identify three charts.
Here’s what those charts were (and are):
That’s the contribution to UK CPI by food and non-alcoholic beverages, a number WHICH WILL BE NEVER SUBJECT TO FUTURE REVISIONS. Womp. Every entrant got this.
That’s the share price of (John) Wood Group. Womp. Every entrant also got this.
Chart 3 separated the wheat from the chaff, with various guesses for various bits of various indices. But there was one was correct: industrial companies within MSCI’s All-Country World Index (we let Industrials in [any world index] slide because we did only ask for the sector).
Twelve entrants managed to get all three correct: Jack Stockdale, Ed Roe, Luke Ashford, Gregory Boggis, David Jackson, Johannes Rosenbusch, Sam Lee, John Finseth, Erik Johnsson, Jack Ford, James Ritossa and Charles Callaghan.
But there can only be one winner. To the wheel…

. . . which picked Gregory Boggis of Lansdowne Partners. He gets the dub, the glory and the T-shirt. The charts quiz will return on Friday (by which point the FTAV team may be totally sick of charts).
