Week 214 Review - Small bounce back but will it last?

There was a mini recovery this week, with OPTI:Optibiotix clawing back some losses along with IQE:IQE. This lifted the portfolio value by £4,289 and reduced the deficit to £36,329. There's a long way to go, but the portfolio value of £67,785 is at least slightly higher than the amount of cash I've put in.

No shares fell by more than 5% this week, possibly for the first time ever.

OPTI:Optibiotix climbed 4p, which is 6% of the purchase price and accounted for £4,000 of this week's rise. Nice and easy to calculate since I got to 100,000 shares.

Share of the Week goes to IQE:IQE which also climbed 6%, but OPTI is in the doghouse and doesn't deserve a prize so IQE gets it.

The green line is just above the orange, and it had better stay there!

Still a long way to go before the downward trend can be reversed.

The ISA and share accounts look like this

Total Profit from sales	£20,224.13		+£0
Average monthly cash profit	£432.75	(9.0%)	-£2.03
(Sold stocks profit + Dividends - Fees  / Months)

A nice increase, but it's not as much as last week's drop in value, so the climb is possibly going to take longer than the drop.

Still below the injection amount.

As with the overall chart, a long way to go just to continue the steady decline, and even further to reduce it.

The SIPP looks like this after week 198

			Weekly Change

Total Profit from sales	£11,706.87		+£0
Average monthly cash profit	£284.40	(7.8%)	-£1.44
(Sold stocks profit + Dividends - Fees / Months)

Similar story to the ISA, with the rise smaller than last week's loss, but a rise is still a good thing.

If this had crossed the injection line I would have been terribly vexed.

Same story as the other performance charts

The trading account looks like this after week 164

Once again, the rise was less than last week's fall. Bad news for getting rid of TALY:Tally as they are not likely to re-list until May 2020. The nearest to profit is CAML:Central Asia Metals which is 26% down. Nothing is likely to move from this account for a while yet.

Kissing the trend line once again. Just need to get above it.

Here's the latest fantasy stock position

I've dropped 461 places to 1,542nd. I think I need to read the rules properly as this is a bit rubbish

Not sure what's going on at CEY:Centamin. They should be about 25% up but seem to have plummeted over the last 2 weeks and are now lower than when I sold my holdings. This game has proved useful else I would have missed that. I can keep an eye out for an opportunity to buy back in.

Such a relief to have one week without the despair that has set in for the last few months. It may end up being a blip, but today is St Leger Day so will we see some buying on Monday, or will the continued anxiety around Brexit and US/China trade wars drag us down?
