I haven't got time to do a full run-down of the three weeks I was away, and they were a depressing three weeks for the market so I don't want to dwell on them anyway.
After Week 170 the portfolio value had dropped by £2,833 which widened the deficit to £6,210 and left the portfolio value at £89,089. Note that this is much higher than the week before, and that's because my pension transfer of £8,000 came through and I spent it. Turns out I should have waited a few weeks!
Firth thing was to buy another £5,180 shares in OPTI:Optibiotix at what seemed like a bargain price of 76.98p, costing £3,999.51. These subsequently dropped to 66p and I was terribly vexed.
Next was to increase my best run company and buy 893 shares on CAML:Central Asia Metals at 222.38p costing £1,997.80. Sad to watch these drop back to 208p since then.
Next was to ensure I hedged some gold, and what better than CEY:Centamin, buying another 1,057 at 94.8864p costing £1,014.90.
Finally I wanted to get into LLOY:Lloyds Bank now we're nearing the end of the PPI claiming period. I bought 1,663 at 59.09p costing £999.53 but Brexit scares have hit them already.
Week 171 was much more horrible, with the combined portfolios dropping £7,113 and widening the deficit to £13,323 at a total value of £81,983
Some good news from dividends, with TND:Tandem Group paying out £7.81 and TAP:Taptica paying £4.13.
Week 172 was less horrible, but still lost £1,004, widening the deficit to £14,327 and portfolio value stands at £80,979
I've updated the charts, but we'll do a bumper look at what's up and down later when next week's changes are clear.
