Iโ€™ve also expanded the list to 25 investors (previously it was 15). November was a tough month for the most popular Lithuanian investors, just as it was for the market overall. Only 7 out of 25 finished the month in the green, and the drops were much sharper than the few gains. The average monthly return came in at โ€“5.3%. With last yearโ€™s exceptionally strong November (+11.3% on average in the list) dropping out of the calculation, the 12-month return took an even bigger hit โ€” falling by an average of 17.8 percentage points. Four investors gained copiers, five lost some, and the rest stayed the same. The total number of copiers across the list is now 668 โ€” seven fewer than the month before. ๐Ÿ”น As for my own results - even though November was bumpy and at one point I was down as much as โ€“5%, the month actually ended quite well. I was among those who still managed to finish in positive territory โ€” +0.29%. Like for many others, last November was extremely generous for me (+13.3%), so my 12-month return dropped by a hefty 16.5 percentage points. Still, it remains a solid 27.2%. The part Iโ€™m happiest about though โ€” I gained six new copiers since the last update, the biggest increase among all Lithuanians. That pushed me back above the 100-copier mark. ๐Ÿ”น Due to Domantasโ€™ sharp decline in November and last yearโ€™s strong month falling out of the calculation, the best 12-month performance now belongs to VALDAS68 (Valdas Bulskas) โ€” an impressive 48.25%. Compared to the rest of the field, Valdasโ€™ November result of โ€“0.07% was actually quite respectable, and since last yearโ€™s November didnโ€™t inflate his returns that much, the slight dip this year was enough to give him the top spot in the ranking. ๐Ÿ”น Continuing my search for Lithuanians abroad, I found another UK-based Lithuanian โ€” Bladke (Laurynas Zaveckas). Heโ€™s just getting started on his Popular Investor journey with three copiers and a 14% annual return so far. ๐Ÿ”น November wasnโ€™t kind to Capitalist_GK (Gediminas Kasiliauskas). While the monthly performance itself wasnโ€™t terrible (โ€“2.27%), he lost almost half of his copiers โ€” 9 out of 19. That resulted in the biggest drop in the rankings (โ€“3 positions). Gediminas now sits in 8th place with 10 copiers, and his annual return is just under 10%. ๐Ÿ”น To wrap up November - the strongest performer among Lithuanians was Sarunikas (ล arลซnas Ginฤas), who managed to deliver his best month of the year โ€” +5.28% โ€” despite the poor market conditions. This wasnโ€™t far off from last yearโ€™s November, so his 12-month return slipped only slightly, by 1.5 percentage points, landing at 19.3%.
