The US presidential race that saw Hillary Clinton ahead in the polls and Donald Trump's surprise victory created havoc on markets.
All of our competitors, with the exception of the Dartboard, have finished the six-week Shares Race underwater.
Tipsters struggle with market turbulence.
While our sharemarket responded positively to Trump's victory, it was not much help to our tipsters.
Our miners received a shot in arm on the President-elect's pledge to spend big on infrastructure in the US and the likely increase in demand for hard commodities.
But over the six-week period our market is down more than 3 per cent.
The bigger companies have tended to do better than the smaller, more speculative ones generally favoured by our tipsters.
The Dartboard takes line honours with $101,536 – a fraction higher than its original $100,000.
It has done well from Collins Foods, which operates the food service retail outlets Sizzler in Australia and KFC in Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
Its recent announcement that it would be buying some KFCs in Germany was well received by the market.
The Dartboard has also profited from its investment in Fortescue Metals, whose share price lifted on the likely increase in demand for iron ore as a result of Trump's victory.
Richard Hemming, author of the Under the Radar report, ends the race in second place with $96,015. His best performer is SDI, which exports dental consumables to the world.
The Shares Race is a fantasy shares game. Contestants start with $100,000 across 10 stocks.
