Week 421 Review - Very flat week with nothing much of interest

A pretty flat week with few big movers. OPTI:Optibiotix went up by 0.5p but JLP:Jubilee Metals went down by 0.5p which took off some of the shine. The result was an improvement in the deficit between cost and value of £906 to £84,160 and increase in portfolio value to £107,988.

Worst performer was JLP:Jubilee Metals which dropped between 5% and 7% depending on the holding and has been drifting for a long, long time.

OPTI:Optibiotix climbed 5% in my cheapest holding and 0% in my most expensive, but any up week is good news.

PSN:Persimmon had a good week, climbing 5%, unfortunately for the wrong reason as the government decided to scrap legislation that stops them exceeding the capacity of existing water treatment systems so we get even more raw sewage in our rivers.

Share of the Week is CAML:Central Asia Metals which climbed between 5% and 8% depending on the holding, and means one holding is now 5% in profit.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 5 of year 9.

Tiny increase in value and potential profits.

Flat

Well above the trend line, but it's still pointing slightly downwards

A bit more of an increase in value and potential profits, helped by CAML:Central Asia Metals going over £100 into profit.

A bit more of a tick up here

Everything dropped in value, but not by much.

Relatively flat for the time being.

Just below the trend line, which is quite steep so tricky to keep up with.

I'm a week late writing this so can't think of anything else to say. I guess with hindsight I could have said "Hope I don't lose £7,500 next week", not that it would have made any difference!
