Week 388 Review - An OK week spoiled by Optibiotix losing 1p

This week wasn't as good as last week, but would have been pretty good if OPTI:Optibiotix hadn't lost 1p and blatted all the other gains. The deficit between cost and value widened by £1,708 to £116,148 and overall portfolio value dropped to £67,081.58

OPTI:Optibiotix was the biggest loser, with the trading holdings dropping 5%. So much for them benefiting from a positive PBX:Probiotix update.

ANTO:Antofagasta had another good week, climbing 6% to go back to 19% up and making potential profit of  £193. That means they are back at the highest they have been and gives me back the full 10% buffer to my 9% virtual stop loss.

III:3i Group went up by 8% and are now less than £1 in the red. The increase was exaggerated slightly as I bought my next monthly investment so the selling commission is a smaller percentage of the whole. 

Share of the week is CAML:Central Asia Metals which climbed 8% for the second week in a row and is now 25% up and making £832 potential profit. It seems like ages since I had decent profits to report. My virtual stop loss has risen to 15% so I'm guaranteed to make £500 profit even if they tank and trigger it. I really hope that doesn't happen, as I want to hold these long-term.

I knew it was too good to last

Above the tend line but running parallel to it

The drop in value was only half the gain I made last week so I feel up on the year

Still grim

Above the trend line - but only just

The SIPP looks like this after week 372 overall and week 8 of year 8.

Cash dropped and portfolio cost rose as my monthly investment was processed. I bought 9 shares in III:3i Group at 1385.05p costing £126.77 with commission and stamp duty.. Another 6 months will get me my £1,000 worth so I can switch to something else.

Value dropped a lot less than the ISA because potential profits in magic formula shares went up by £329.  I also found a 19p interest payment.

Much the same as the ISA, but closer to the injection line

A tiny bit more above the trend line than the ISA

The trading account looks like this after week 338 overall and week 26 of year 7.

I added £10 cash just as a precaution against the ISA or SIPP ever running short when fees are due. I'll just keep it as an emergency pot. Meanwhile all last week's gains in OPTI:Optibiotix were lost.

Dire

Not the worst ever, but below the trend line and clearly on a 6-month downward trend.

There's still no sign of the PBX:Prebiotix shares arriving in my accounts, other than as a dummy line. The lock-in should have ended so I'm expecting them to appear very soon, and when they do the selling will start, so I need to amass as big a fighting fund as I can afford to sweep up bargains. I'll add some more to my AJ Bell SIPP in preparation for the event. Every one more share I can get from the sell-off will be a bonus when they announce profits and start trading on AIM.
