Week 396 Review - Dreadful week takes us to new record low

Every week it gets worse. JLP:Jubilee Metals, OPTI:Optibiotix and PBX:Probiotix all dropped this week and are my biggest holdings. The deficit between cost and value grew by £3,915 to £121,089 and total portfolio value dropped to £59,727. Yet another all-time low.

JLP:Jubilee Metals was worst performer dropping between 10% and 14% of my purchase price depending what I bought it for. That accounted for a big chunk of the losses this week.

RIO:Rio Tinto plummeted 9% and has gone from profit to a 6% loss.

ASHM:Ashmore Group dropped 8%, as did BLU:Blue Star Capital. Thank goodness I sold my quick trade there else I'd be stuck.

SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics fell 8% for no apparent reason. I think people are getting bored waiting for a Croda deal.

EDV:Endeavour Mining dropped 6% to go 17% down which should have triggered a stop loss, but I think if the whole market is down, then I should hold on to them.

III:3i Group dropped 6% after doing so well recently. They are still 3% up which is a relief.

WHR:Warehouse REIT also dropped 6% to go 9% down altogether.

No share deserved Share of the Week this week as they were all rubbish.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 32 of year 8.

I added £100 in preparation for an IES:Invinity Energy open offer where I intend to double my holdings and half my average share price. Aside from that, there's a big drop in value and a 2p interest payment.

Still we drop


Just staying above the trend line but following it downwards.

The SIPP looks like this after week 380 overall and week 16 of year 8.

Compound performance38%+0%

I got a £15 dividend from IGG:IG Group which took my total from them to £101 or 10% over 2 years. I bought 7 shares in III:3i Group for 1588.251p costing £113.24 as part of my monthly savings. I've increased my savings amount to £250 a month from April as I'm taking a 20% pay cut to work 4 days a week and so my work pension payments will drop. This will make up for it.

Potential profits are nearly wiped out and there was a big drop in value, and 15p interest doesn't go very far to plug that hole.


Dire


As with the ISA, just above the trend line but I've been following it down for 2 years solid.

The trading account looks like this after week 346 overall and week 34 of year 7.

Massive drop in value as both JLP:Jubilee Metals and OPTI:Optibiotix drop, with most of the losses down to JLP. The curse of the trading account continues. Much excitement with 1p interest.



I don't know why I bother


Above the trend line but plunging towards it.

I don't know what to do. Every week is the same. Nothing is going right and I'm losing thousands nearly every week. I keep asking how long can it go on, but it's been happening for 2 years and I don't see it stopping until I have nothing left. I'll never get to retire if this continues.
