Week 401 Review - At last a positive week after 10 weeks of woe

I was beginning to think I would never be able to report a positive week again after 10 weeks of utter misery, but this week most of the magic formula shares went up, and JLP:Jubilee Metals recovered all last week's losses to account for much of the rise. The deficit between cost and value improved by £1,045 to £124,799 and total value increased to £55,999.

The only share that dropped by 5% was III:3i Group, but that's not really an accurate picture as I pretty much doubled my holding this week, and at the upper end of the price range, so it wasn;t really a 5% drop.

JLP:Jubilee Metals recovered the 5% lost last week. Given that this is the first major increase since the warrants were bought, could it be that the seller has finally run out?

Share of the Week goes to PAGE:Page Group, which climbed 6% and is only 2% down now.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 37 of year 8.

I sold my holding in GAW:Games Workshop because I wanted to transfer it to my ISA. Normally I use Bed & ISA, but because I only have 10 shares, they would have only bought back 9 and used the other towards commission, when I actually want to increase my holding to 11. I decided to forego the extra commission in order to do this, but AJ Bell are so slow to recognise the cash that the markets were closed and I had to hold on to the cash until next week.

I sold my 10 shares at 9591.2075p making £20.15 (2.6%) profit. Nothing to write home about, but my plan is to bed all my shares into my ISA as soon as they get into profit.

AJ Bell paid me £1.12 interest, which they give quarterly.

I think that can still be regarded as following the trend line as it's a very small tick up.

The SIPP looks like this after week 385 overall and week 21 of year 8.

			Weekly Change
Cash	£131.67		-£282.11

My monthly investment went up to £250, but I forgot to change the amount on the actual investment, so the transaction only went for 7 shares in III:3i Group at 1682.0485p costing £119.83. However, when the unspent £131 was added to the cash I had in the SIPP, it was enough to bring my investment up to £1,000, so I bought another 23 at 1702.05p costing £403.38. That's completed my purchases of this share, so I changed my monthly investment to ANTO:Antofagasta, which I got stopped out of a while back and want to get back in again.

As with the ISA, AJ Bell paid out £1.11 interest, and potential profits sneaked up another £12.

A reversal of last week, with OPTI:Optibiotix flat and JLP:Jubilee Metals earning back what it lost last week. I'm hoping that means the JLP rot has stopped, but I'll believe it when I see it.

My charts definitely enjoy following trend lines!

The last few weeks I've been too depressed to write anything else. This week I'm not depressed but knackered after a hard day on the allotment, so no further thoughts.
