Week 428 Review - Dreadful week but losses not too great.

Another really bad week across the majority of the portfolio. OPTI:Optibiotix remained unchanged but the rest of the portfolio lost £653 as the deficit between cost and value widened to £92,524 and total value dropped to £105,722.

Worst performer was CWR:Ceres Power which has possibly been my worst timed investment ever. It had been creeping up when I bought them, and I took that as a sign of recovery, but they plummeted 19% this week and are 31% down in just a few weeks since I bought them.

BLU:Blue Star Capital fell 11% but I've pretty much written these off so it doesn't matter.

APAX:Apax Global Alpha dropped 7% so have gone from amber to orange as they are now 16% down.

IES:Invinity Energy fell 7% for no reason and are 82% down. I've not written these off, but they need some really big orders to start making a profit.

WHR:Warehouse REIT are one of my magic formula shares and I thought were a nice sensible option, but dropped 7% this week to go 35% down.

ANTO:Antofagasta are another magic formula share which fell 6% to go 13% down.

PAGE:Page Group are yet another magic formula share. They fell 6% to go 18% down, when they were nearly in profit a few weeks ago.

BARC:Barclays are in my trading account so bound to be cursed. They dropped 5% to go 13% down when they looked like going onto profit a few weeks ago.

CEY:Centamin fell 5% despite the price of gold going up and are 29% down.

My other gold shares fared much better, with POLY:Polymetal increasing 5%, although these are still 79% down until they can shed their Russian assets and re-list in UK.

Share of the Week is EDV:Endeavour Mining, which behaved like a proper gold mine share and climbed 6%. My recent, albeit small, holding is now 10% in profit.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 12 of year 9.

Drop in value of £366, but increase in potential profits of £8 thanks to a very small improvement for GAW:Games Workshop. £32 dividend was from CAML:Central Asia Metals. Dividends alone are keeping the year 9 performance in profit.


Not enough of a drop to cause immediate concern


Getting a bit close to the trend line for comfort

The SIPP looks like this after week 412 overall and week 48 of year 8.

A great week for dividends, with a whopping £95 from CAML:Central Asia Metals and a healthy £37 from IGG:IG Group. Portfolio value hardly dropped at all and potential profits fell £8 thanks a mix of risers and fallers. 


Very flat


Not flat enough!

Everything dropped in value so much misery here.


Down to lowest value fro a few months


Horribly dropped off a cliff.

I keep announcing dreadful weeks, but the portfolio has been relatively resilient. It's as bad as mid summer at the moment, when things are supposed to be better after September. I guess world events aren't exactly conducive to a stable market. One day something might happen to get the portfolio back on track.
