Week 187 Review - Flat and dull

A quick and late entry this week as I was away in the Lake District playing in the snow. Very little happened in the markets, but boring is good after the recent miserable run. The portfolio dropped in value by just £298 expanding the deficit to £2,186 and reducing total value to £95,859.

There were loads of 5% droppers this week, with IQE:IQE, CWR:Ceres Power, TLOU:Tlou Energy and PAF:Pan African Resources all dropping 5% and causing most of the deficit.

CEY:Centamin recovered a little from the 35% drop last week, but only climbed 5% when I was expecting much more.

MMX:Minds + Machines are quietly doing their stuff and also climbed 5% but they are still 27% down on my purchase price.

VRS:Versarien managed a little more of a rise climbing 6% and are almost back to my purchase price. If only I had some more cash I would buy more at  these prices.

TND:Tandem Group easily wins Share of the Week after giving solid results given the difficulties in toys and retail this year. Their forward looking report was excellent, and led to a 23% rise. My holding is still 22% down, but that could be made up in a week of strong buying as there are so few shares in circulation. Current PE ratio is only 4.64 which is just stupid, and this should double to get to a fair price. I've had £65 dividends over the years too, which isn't bad.




Pretty flat and under water.




Well below the trend line and slope getting shallower.

The ISA and share accounts look like this

Monthly fees came out of cash, profits dropped as CWR:Ceres Power slipped back to loss and average monthly performance stayed at 10.2%. Portfolio value dipped by £173 which is nothing.




Back to the more familiar under water stance for this account




Bad in many ways.

Here's the SIPP after week 171

(Sold stocks profit + Dividends - Fees / Months)

Cash down from monthly fees, paper profits down thanks to CAML:Central Asia Metals dropping 4%, other gains managed to limit the losses to £75 and average performance remains unchanged just below target.




Too close to the line, but still the right side of it.




Below trend line which is a worry as the SIPP is usually better behaved.

First bad week in a long time with no share rising and 3 of the 5 falling. Will I never make any money from this account?




Still very boring.




Above the trend line so I have a ray of hope to end the week.

Nothing interesting due to happen next week so all I can hope is some news comes out about the OPTI:Optibiotix deals in India. It all looks very promising but we need contracts to be signed before the share price is likely to respond.
