Week 397 Review - Yet another all-time low

What an utterly dreadful week. I'm writing this a week later as I was too depressed to do it any sooner, and it's going to be very brief. I did a bed and ISA on my OPTI:Optibiotix and PBX:Probiotix share account shares because of the draconian reductions in capital gain tax allowances. I bought them back for the same price I sold them in my ISA but it registered a loss of £2,455. If you add that to the widening of the deficit between cost and value of £1,383, then the portfolio lost £3,824. The deficit is now £122,473 and portfolio value just £57,656.

The following drops, many of which are magic formula shares, would have stopped out nearly all my holdings. I decided the drop wasn't based on those shares, but the general market, so I abandoned the 15% stop loss else it would have cost me about £1,500 in realised losses. Let's hope they do turn around.

IGG:IG Group lost 14% to go 14% down.

CAPD:Capital lost 10% to go 15% down.

ASHM:Ashmore Group lost 7% to go 17% down.

III:3i Group lost 7% to go 4% down.

RIO:Rio Tinto lost 7% to go 13% down.

APAX:Apax Global Alpha lost 6% to go 16% down.

CAML:Central Asia Metals lost 6% to go 11% down.

OPTI:Optibiotix lost 5% where the holdings were bought between 10p and 20p to go 43% down, with my other shares more like 80% down.

PLUS:Plus 500 lost 5% to go 11% down.

SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics lost 5% to go 54% down.

EDV:Endeavour Mining went up thanks to a rally in the gold price. It only went up by 5% and is still 12% down.

Share of the Week is BLU:Blue Star Capital which went up 8%, but is still 69% down and I have a tiny holding, so it didn't do anything to offset the losses above.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 33 of year 8.

Selling OPTI:Optibiotix to bed and ISA meant I got 11.25p after paying 64.87p so took a paper loss of £2,147.23 (82.8%) but kept almost the same number of shares which are regarded as being bought at 11.25p. I also added £760 I got for my pension payment and a premium bond win and bought 6,536 more at 11.445p, even though I promised I wouldn't get any more. I couldn't really face buying anything else right now. I also took a £307.86 (65%) paper loss on PBX:Probiotix when I sold them for 7p after buying at 21p, although I didn't buy them as they were a dividend, but I valued the dividend at 21p so that was the virtual price I paid.

The value dropped an additional £1,018, and nothing is in paper profit. Long term performance took a big hit but I'm hoping it's the last forced sale for a while, until something else goes bust.





The SIPP looks like this after week 381 overall and week 17 of year 8.

Not much happened other than a great big drop in value and all potential profits wiped out. Spiffing.

Not writing anything else as I'm totally fed up.
