Best bit of the site is this:
http://www.startinvestinguk.com/thegraph
which shows: "how well our picks are doing compared with the FTSE 100 and 250; the largest 350 companies in the UK."
and claims: "As you can see, we have beaten the FTSE consistently in 2018".
Only it doesn't actually show that as the three plots weren't rebased at the start of 2018...
Instead, it shows their picks underperforming the FTSE100 by ~7% in calendar year 2018 [optically begins the year ~10% ahead; ends 2018 ~3% ahead], and underperforming the FTSE100 by ~2% over the full chart period [optically begins the period ~10% ahead; ends the period ~8% ahead].
