Week 39 Review

A fairly poor week with some big drops in value. Biggest loser this week was KIBO:Kibo Mining, dropping by 31% which was all of last week's gains wiped out. Not far behind was my genius new purchase AVM:Avocet Mining, dropping 21% after my panic buy on Monday which I'm now regretting rather intensly. RCI:Rapidcloud dropped by 14% but is still showing a healthy profit, AA:Alcoa dropped 11% losing most of the recent gains and HGM:Highland Gold also dropped 11% which I'm hoping is a blip caused by profit taking.

Happy to say it wasn't all doom and gloom. MMX:Minds + Machines recovered from the recent collapse and gained 11%, and share of the week is one of my favourites CWR:Ceres Power Holdings, which climbed 19%.

Here's the effect on the main portfolio

Profit from sales £2,785.23

Average monthly cash profit £357.07

(Sold stocks profit + Dividends - Fees / Months)
Avg annual % of current portfolio cost 11.8%

Portfolio cost went down due to the loss I took on BYG:Big Yellow Group in order to pursue my foolhardy purchase of AVM:Avocet Mining meaning there was less to re-invest. What an idiot!

Overall sale value dropped by £500, almost half of which is the loss on AVM:Avocet Mining - did I mention I was annoyed about that?

Dividends went up by £36.57 thanks to SGRO:Segro but profit from sales is down £24.28 from the BYG:Big Yellow Group sale at a loss.

If is wasn't for that, my monthly profit may have remained about unchanged, but it almost cancels out my dividend and so the monthly profit dropped by £8 and the percentage return is starting to sneak down towards 10%, which I'm keen to stay above.

The SIPP looks like this

Portfolio value (share price) £12,709.47 (+12.3%) -£385.92

Potential profits £1,623.50

Avg annual % of current portfolio cost 14.2%

No activity this week, just a rubbish performance as 3% was wiped off the profits. I guess there will be a few weeks like this, but I really hope we don't get a trend.

Next week sees my monthly DD go into the SIPP, so a few more JLG:John Laing Group shares will be added to my portfolio. These are down 7% from when I bought the first lot, so the good news is I get more for my money this month!

My big hope for next week is AVM:Avocet Mining doesn't turn out to be a horrible mistake and starts to climb back towards breaking even, although if it doesn't, at least I'll have learned a valuable lesson - albeit the hard way.
