Not to be confused with Orlando (The Marmalade Cat). Orlando is a cat that won a stock-picking contest organized in 2012 by the Observer. The cat's owner is Jill Insley, the head of the Consumer Team, which includes both the Guardian{{'}}s Money section and the Observer{{'}}s Cash section.[1][2] The contest pitted Orlando against a team of three financial experts and a group of students from The John Warner School, a secondary school in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, England. In the contest, Orlando picked stocks by throwing his toy mouse onto a grid labeled with numbers, each of which corresponded to a different company.[3] Each of the three competitors started the contest with £5,000 (the equivalent of about $8000 USD at the time) to spend on stocks, and given a year to maximize the value of their portfolio. Competitors were allowed to switch stocks once every three months.[4] During the year-long contest Orlando's portfolio grew from the initial $8,000 to $8,900, while the investors' team's portfolio grew to only about $8,300.[5]References1. ^{{Cite web |url=https://qz.com/47058/orlando-the-cat-has-a-better-chance-of-beating-the-stock-market-than-a-hedge-fund-manager/ |title=Orlando the cat has a better chance of beating the stock market than a hedge fund manager |last=Hinds |first=Manuel |website=Quartz |publication-date=24 January 2013}} {{Feline-stub}}2. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/profile/jillinsley |title=Jill Insley |website=The Guardian}} 3. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/money/2013/jan/13/investments-stock-picking |title=Investments: Orlando is the cat's whiskers of stock picking |last=King |first=Mark |website=The Observer |publication-date=13 January 2013}} 4. ^{{Cite web |url=http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/01/15/cat-beats-professional-wealth-managers-at-picking-stocks/ |title=Cat Beats Professional Wealth Managers at Picking Stocks |last=Locker |first=Melissa |website=Time |publication-date=15 January 2013}} 5. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.fool.com/investing/2016/08/01/a-cat-outperformed-pro-stock-pickers-heres-what-th.aspx |title=A Cat Outperformed Pro Stock-Pickers.
