Greek tragedies make a meal of racers

That sound bad? Well, the organ regenerated every night, only for it to be devoured all over again the next day. Yes, Greek tragedies are all the rage at the moment and don't our racers know it. Everybody lost money as the market scooted backwards 2.8 per cent. Only two of our brave competitors - leader Louise Jessop and Dizzy Ms Daze - are above water. Both managed to beat the market but it was Doreen who really starred: she boasts three of the top five performing stocks for the week

Fired up from her spell in the cellar, architect Edwina Harrison put together some smooth moves to weave through a congested, furiously backpedalling pack to slot into fifth spot. Wesfarmers was her hero stock, adding a massive $23 for the week.

Reader Qaiser Malik suffered a nasty hangover from his Funtastic adventure last week - the toy manufacturer gave up all its gains from round two. But Qaiser keeps his sixth position. Iluka Resources has been hot property of late but investors dropped it this week and that leaves financial manager James propping up the ladder. Things can only get better next week, right? Right?
