Week 100 Review - Back in the red

What a disastrous centenary week!

Slumps in some of my biggest holdings caused an overall drop of £2,439 taking the combined portfolios £489 into the red and obliterating the buffer. The portfolio value now stands at £63,463 and has lost more than £4,000 in value over the last 3 weeks.

Worst performer this week was IQE:IQE which had to suffer some profit taking sooner or later, and it's happening big-time now, with a drop of 23% this week. Fortunately that still leaves my ISA up by 156% but has hammered the potential profits.

KIBO:Kibo Mining is the only other double-digit loser, dropping 11%, but falls of 8% for AMYT:Amryt Pharma, 6% for CAML:Central Asia Metals and 4% for my biggest holding OPTI:Optibiotix all contributed to the massive drop in portfolio value.

There were a few good news stories, with LGEN:Legal & General up by 5% which is a lot for this normally stable share, CWR:Ceres Power Holdings up 6% and Share of the Week by miles was TLOU:Tlou Energy, up 28% but on a relatively small holding



Bye bye buffer. Such a short time in the black. I'll just have to hope the current 3-week cycle of dips has finished and we go back into profit next week.

Here's to performance of the combined ISA and share accounts



Weekly Change

Portfolio sell value (bid price - commission) £43,890.54 (-3.8%) -£1,599.54

Total Profit from sales £6.241.32

Average monthly cash profit £316.69 (8.3%) -£2.74
(Sold stocks profit + Dividends - Fees / Months)

Value absolutely clobbered, with £595 reduced profits and £1,000 of deepening loss. There needs to be some news for some of the key holdings to have a reversal in fortunes. £14.30 was a welcome dividend from TND:Tandem Group.




Ouch!

Here's the SIPP after week 84



Weekly Change
Portfolio cost £17,853.50
+£0
Portfolio sell value (bid price - commission) £19,223.48 (7.7%) -£854.28
Potential profits £3,118.48

+£0
Total Profit from sales £3,946.67
+£0
Average monthly cash profit £234.52 (15.8%) -£3.22
(Sold stocks profit + Dividends - Fees / Months)

A huge drop, mostly reduced profits but also some deepening loss. Still no need to sell anything to keep performance stats up though.




A worrying narrowing of the gap in an account that's been in the black for well over a year.

The pointless trading account looks like this after week 50



Weekly Change
Portfolio cost £486.05
+£0
Cash £79.63
+£0
Portfolio sell value (bid price - commission) £349.45 (-28.1%) +£13.90
Potential profits £0
+£0
Dividends £0
+£0
Profit from sales -£22.85
+£0
Average monthly cash profit -£1.98 (-4.9%) +£0.04
(Sold stocks profit + Dividends - Fees / Months)

The share prices toggles up and down by 5p almost every week but never goes any higher, so it's looking like after 1 year this account will have made a loss and be well in the red - a great advert for trying to trade rather than invest!




Rubbish!

A torrid week. All I can hope is that there will be a bounce back this week to get back into the black, but it will take news rather than an upturn in general market sentiment.
