Week 402 Review - A bad week saved by Jubilee Metals

Not a great week across the portfolio, with most shares down by a few percent, but a 1p rise in JLP:Jubilee Metals nullified all that and resulted in an improvement in the deficit between cost and value of £858 to £123,941 and portfolio value of £56,919.

Most of my metal producers were down this week, with CEY:Centamin and RIO:Rio Tinto both falling 5%.

JLP:Jubilee Metals bucked that trend and increased by 10% in some of my holdings. I'm hopeful that with other miners dropping this is a sign the seller has gone and there's hope for a recovery.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 38 of year 8.

I transferred my cash from the AJ Bell dealing account to the ISA and bought back my GAW:Games Workshop shares, except I increased my holding from 10 to 11 bought at 9468.793p and costing £1,056.73. Happily that was 122p cheaper than what I sold them for last week, which is a very rare occurrence where I got lucky on timing.

PAGE:Page Group and WHR:Warehouse REIT are only down by 4%, so I'm hoping I can bed and ISA those soon. I'll only lose a few shares to pay the commission, but I want to register the sale as a profit rather than a loss, so I'll wait until they are in the black.

Portfolio value increased a little thanks to JLP:Jubilee Metals, but dragged back by just about everything else. One of my JLP holdings is only down by 7% so I'm hoping to sell that one for a modest profit so I can get back into CAML:Central Asia Metals which is a massive bargain at the moment.



Still woeful, but above the trend line. I dream of being significantly above the trend line instead of continuing its downwards momentum.

The SIPP looks like this after week 386 overall and week 22 of year 8.

Hardly anything changed. The small increase in value was again thanks to JLP:Jubilee Platinum and about £4k worth is almost at the point I can sell to I can add more CAML:Central Asia Metals. It will still leave me with £6k invested in JLP, which is as much as my nerves can take.

I had a £31 dividend from RIO:Rio Tinto, which was nice, but potential profits dropped by £18 as EDV:Endeavour Mining lost a little ground..



Barely above the trend line

A rare good week thanks to JLP:Jubilee Metals climbing 8% in this account. Still a long way off being able to sell, and I really need to make about 100% to try and claw back some of my losses.



I prefer looking at the bottom chart as the top one is too depressing.

There's been more buying of PBX:Probiotix in the market this week. I can't buy any more - in fact I won't sink any more into microbiome shares as I have too much invested in one area and it's all doing rubbish. If PBX recovers then my portfolio value will increase by quite a lot, so I'll keep hold of the 100,000 shares I own and claw back £1,000 for every penny it recovers. £16k of my current losses are down to PBX, £1,700 down to SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics, a staggering £90k down to OPTI:Optibiotix and I lost £18.5k forever when DDDD:4D Pharma went bust. That's not a great track record for one sector that I was convinced was the future that would make my fortune.
