Week 238 Review - Coronavirus-led collapse

A late update this week after gallivanting around the Lake District at the weekend. I needed the tranquility of the hills to try and forget the worst ever week for my portfolio. Everything tanked, and I ended up £17,040 worse off. That undid all the recent gains and widended the deficit between cost and value to £38,593, with the portfolio value reduced to £68,628.

Worst performer was OPTI:Optibiotix, which dropped 13p and so accounts for £13,650 of the losses. That's a 19% fall in a week. I wish I could come p with some way of buying more at this price, but everything else is now loss making, and my pension transfer doesn't come through for another 3 weeks. Part of me hopes that will be too late, but part of me wants a bargain, but another part of me doesn't want to delay my magic formula experiment by another 4 months, so I really can't use it for bargain OPTI.

One of my other largest holdings is JLP:Jubilee Metals, and that also lost 19% just as I thought they were about to go into profit. That seems a long way off now.

CAML:Central Asia Metals is another of my largest holdings and fell by 15% and into the red, taking away my only profit making share.

IKA:Ilika dropped 14%, IQE:IQEdropped 13%, SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics dropped 14% in my SIPP and 11% in my ISA so average drop around12.5%, TRMR:Tremor dropped 11%, TEK:Tekcapital dropped 9%, TLOU:Tlou Energy dropped 8%, MMX:Minds + Machines dropped 7% and WRES:W Resources dropped 6%.

I can't have a Share of the Week as not a single share increased in value.




Back below the injection line. What did I say last week about not wanting to yo-yo?




Well, we seem to be back on trend. No danger of flattening the line now.

The ISA and share portfolios look like this

What can I say? Absolute carnage. I'm too sad to write any more.




Well below the injection line. Oh building society, why did I shun thee?




Just awful.

Same story as the ISA, but also lost all potential profits




As usual, this account manages to stay above the orange injection line, but is closer now than it has been for 6 months.





Back down almost to the lowest value in 12 months. Let's hope it doesn't continue downwards.

A huge loss compared to normal weeks.




Just as it was sneaking up.




It's hard to be optimistic about this one.

No review of the fantasy magic formula account this week, as I forgot to take a snapshot. I suspect I wouldn't like what I saw so will wait for next week in the hope it bounces back.

I'm off to continue being sad now, especially as after Tuesday I still haven't recovered more than £460. It could be a long, painful wait...
