Week 25 Review

This week has been up down and all over the place. With a stock sale and re-investment, I really don't know how the figures are going to come out. Has it been a good week or bad?



Weekly Change
Portfolio cost £34,670.57
+£352.62
Portfolio value (share price) £31,371.30 (-£3,158.23) +£392.05
Portfolio sell value (bid price - commission) £30,127.91 (-£4,542.65) +£303.64
Potential profits £528.32
-£113.62
Dividends £297.51
+£0
Profit from sales £1,021.73
+£360.07
Average monthly cash profit £222.76
+£53.56
(Sold stocks profit + Dividends - Fees / Months)
Avg annual % of current portfolio cost 7.71%

Looks like it was a good week!

The portfolio cost increase was a result of re-investing the profits from the PAF:Pan African Resources sale. The £300+ increase in portfolio value takes that into account, so overall the portfolio is worth over £600 more.

Potential profits are down, as Pan African was one of my best shares, but I sold it for £360 profit and the potential profits only declined by a third of that.

The best news is the average monthly cash profit going over £200 per month and average annual percentage return going back over my 6% target. I can live with a paper loss for those sorts of returns.

It's also particularly pleasing that my big GVC:GVC Holdings purchase the other day has already gone up 5% and is £120 in profit. If this takes off in March when it joins the main stock exchange, it will be most exciting.

The pension now looks like this



Weekly Change
Portfolio cost £5,854.37
+£0
Portfolio value (share price) £5,378.52 (-£475.85) +£94.97
Portfolio sell value (bid price - commission) £5,243.04 (-£611.33) +£45.87
Potential profits £0
-£3.22
Dividends £0
+£0
Profit from sales £366.10
+£0
Average monthly cash profit £175.71
-£21.97
(Sold stocks profit + Dividends - Fees / Months)
Avg annual % of current portfolio cost 36.02%

Generally positive, clawing back a small amount of the loss. There are no longer any shares in profit, so my magnificent £3.22 has gone. Average monthly profit and % yield is still good, so I won't need to consider selling anything for a while yet.

Lets hope for a few more weeks like this one to blow away those paper losses!
