Week 463 Review - Fifth down week in a row despite being great for some shares.

I despair that even in a really good week for some of my portfolio, my biggest holdings dropped in value and the deficit between cost and value widened for the fifth week in a row. This time I lost £1,876 so the deficit is now £116,937 and the gap between injection amount and value is £50,305. Portfolio value just managed to stay above £100k at £101,122.

JLP:Jubilee Metals collapsed 9% on lack of expected news on Roan getting up to full capacity for copper production. The assumption is that something has gone wrong else they would be shouting it from the rooftops. It was supposed to be completed in May so not looking good. I really need this to turn around so I can get my holiday money back, which I rather foolishly lent my ISA rather than doing a bed-and-ISA from my dealing account.

The only other big faller was PSN:Persimmon, which is toying with me, as every time it gets close to profitability, it drops again. This week it fell 5% and is now 7% down.

EDV:Endeavour Mining has been a bit rubbish lately, but went up 5% this week, as did IES:Invinity Energy after announcing a new contract, and PAGE:Pagegroup for no reason at all.

AJB:AJ Bell went up 6% and is now an impressive 29% in profit.

AFC:AFC Energy has bounced back by 10% after the big drop following the placing announcement. The even better news is that next week I should get my £500 worth at 15p which will immediately be in profit - unless everyone sells their shares and it drops.

PAF:Pan African Resources had a great week, climbing 11% to go 59% and 55% up in my two holdings.

Share of the week goes to GAW:Games Workshop, which after giving me a scare and dropping almost to a loss, issued amazing results and went up 14% to a record high for me and 15% in profit.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 47 of year 9.

I added £50 because I was running out of cash to pay fees, and after paying the fees the cash was only up by £45. Potential profits crashed by £1,174 because my only profitable holdings JLP:Jubilee Metals and OPTI:Optibiotix both fell, and portfolio value fell by even more as my non-profitable holdings in the same two dropped.


Utterly dreadful


Well below the trend line which is also pointing downwards

The SIPP looks like this after week 447 overall and week 31 of year 9.

This performance shows the benefits of using a different strategy in my SIPP to my ISA. Despite OPTI:Optibiotix dropping, the portfolio value went up by £227 and potential profits by an amazing £861. This was thanks to most of my profitable magic formula shares having a really good week.

£92 dividends were great, with £29 from CEY:Centamin, £38 from ARBB:Arbuthnot Banking and £23 from PAGE:Pagegroup. I also got £100 from Hargreaves Lansdown as a trading charge refund, which I wasn't expecting. There was also £137 tax rebate, so not a bad week for extras.


A teensy up-tick


Still below the downward-pointing trend line, and still over-dependent on OPTI:Optibiotix. I have split out my cheaper shares with a view to selling them if they ever get into profit. I may have to buy some more in the ISA to make up for it though.

The 9% drop in JLP:Jubilee Metals absolutely hammered this account. How I regret not selling for 8.5p, as I could have bought them back again at this price. I was holding out for too ,much, which is not what this account is about. Now I'm stuck waiting for a recovery as I'll not sell for this little profit.


It was looking so promising, but now not at all.


Almost touching the trend line, which at least is pointing up, but another week like this will be deeply upsetting.

Five weeks in a row of dropping portfolio value. It's really depressing. The only crumb of comfort is that the drop has been almost entirely down to JLP:Jubilee Metals and OPTI:Optibiotix. As long as I still have faith that these two will come good, then I should rejoice that my other shares had a great week, and at some point these big holdings will catch up. I just wish they would hurry up!

One bit of random news - POLY:Polymetal changed their ticker and name to CORE:Solidcore Resources. I'm hoping that now they are rid of their Russian assets, they will consider re-listing on the London exchange and they can start some sort of recovery. They were up 1% this week, which I guess is a start.

Week 462 Review - Dreadful week across the board and fourth down week in a row

An absolutely dreadful week, with carnage across the portfolio and the fourth red week in a row. Lots of shares, including new ones, dropped significantly. The deficit between cost and value widened by £3,551.72 to £115,060 and gap to injection amount went up to £48,751, with portfolio value dropping to £102,627.

Worst performer was AFC:AFC Energy, which plummeted 17% after announcing a heavily discounted placing. I did however decide the placing was for the right reason, so I bought some on the drop, and also signed up for the retail offer at 15p.

CWR:Ceres Power dropped 13% and has now gone 17% down. This is incredibly volatile, but I'm tempted to buy some more.

IES:Invinity Energy fell 12% for no reason, and even my new holding which I thought was a bargain is down by 22%.

IPX:Impax Asset Management had been recovering from some big drops, but fell 9% this week to go 24% down overall.

ASHM:Ashmore Group fell by 8% for no reason and is now down by 38%.

POLY:Polymetal dropped 8% and continues a downward spiral.

CAML:Central Asia Metals fell 6%, which doesn't make sense as copper is still well up.

GAW:Games Workshop fell 6% and is now only just in profit by less than 1%.

OPTI:Optibiotix fell 6% which is 1p and accounted for £2,000 of the losses.

SMDS:Smith (DS) fell 6% and is now 8% down after only just buying them

TRX:Tissue Regenix fell 6% after a recent very short-lived rally.

APAX:Apax Global Alpha fell 5% for no reason and is 21% down.

Share of the Week is also my worst performer. As I said above, when AFC:AFC Energy plummeted towards the 15p placing, I bought a load, and by the end of the week they were up 11%. They have to go up quite a bit more before I make up the loss I took to free up the cash to buy them, but I'm hopeful that will happen.

I added £500 cash to cover the cost of the AFC:AFC Energy retail offer. It will sit there for a few weeks until the offer is approved by shareholders.

£2,046 drop in value thanks to all the above, and £316 drop in potential profits thanks to OPTI:Optibiotix.


Back  onto the downward slide.


Below the trend line which is firmly pointing downwards.

Another big drop in value but only a tiny drop in profits. I took a loss selling 11,425 shares in JLP:Jubilee Metals at 7.5755p, losing £250.93 (-22.5%). I bought 6,551 shares in AFC:AFC Energy at 15.2648p costing £1,008.95. That ate into my cash a bit as I only freed up £856 from the sale.

I also had my regular monthly investment and bought 179 shares in UKW:Greencoat UK Wind at 137.865p costing £249.51. That's the last of my UKW investments now, so I'll switch to EDV:Endeavour Mining for the next 2 months to get my £500 investment up to £1,000. I will have to come up with a new magic formula share after that, although it may be tempting to average down one of my existing loss-making holdings if I'm convinced it's still worth investing in.


The upward move didn't last long.


The trend line is pointing downwards, and we're below it.

Small drop in JLP:Jubilee Metals so just a £15 drop in value. Pretty flat really.


Lets hope this is just a temporary blip.


Still comfortably above the upward-pointing trend line, so still happy.

I'm a week late posting this, mainly because I din't want to extend the misery of the week by writing it!

Sunday 9 June 2024

Week 461 Review - Another rubbish week making it three in a row.

A really crappy week that got worse and worse. The deficit between cost and value widened for the third week in a row, by £2,400 to £111,509 and deficit to injection amount went up to £44,948. Total portfolio value dropped to £105,929 and is looking in real danger of falling below £100k again.

I don't usually mention my basket-case shares as they forever shift in value by high percentages, but I should mention my biggest basket-case KIBO:Kibo Energy, which did an utterly massive placing this week and replaced the board. This resulted in a 57% drop, but it makes no difference to my holding as it's already 100% down and the commission to sell is more than the shares are worth. Unfortunately when I finally write them off it's going result in me posting a £2.6k loss and undo much of the good that's going on elsewhere.

AFC:AFC Energy is up and down like a mad thing. This week it dropped 15% for no reason. I think I may want to introduce it to my trading account and try and ride some of these extreme changes.

PAF:Pan African Resources dropped 6% this week. POLY:Polymetal dropped 5% and although the other gold mines all fell in value, they were less than 5% drops.

AAL:Anglo American Mining is one of my new copper producers, but they dropped 5% this week The CAML:Central Asia Metals shares I sold to buy them dropped 4% so I'm not much worse off.

ASHM:Ashmore Group also dropped 5% in a generally miserable week.

SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics recovered a little from its recent woes and went up 6%, but needs news on Croda deals to properly recover.

Share of the Week is FXPO:Ferrexpo which almost qualifies as a basket-case share, but I'm confident it will recover once the Ukraine war is out of the way. They went up 8% this week and have been very volatile lately, so maybe another to consider for the trading account.

Very little happened. Cash down thanks to monthly fees and the usual 4-figure drop in value. OPTI:Optibiotix dropped 0.5p which contributed much of the drop, and JLP:Jubilee Metals is down 0.1p.


The decline continues


The trend line is dropping ever more steeply.

I sold another 500 CAML:Central Asia Metals shares at 219.165p, making £188.72 (20.8%) profit. I did so to free up funds to buy GSK:GSK, which fell 10% after news that an American judge had allowed some court cases against their Zantac drug. However, a court case the other week threw out a claim as there was no scientific evidence to back it, so it seems there's a precedent been set. I've wanted to add these to my SIPP for ages and this seemed like a good opportunity. I bought 65 shares at 1603.31p costing £1,056.31, and am happy to say they went up 2% and so now are just down by some of the commission.

I also bought my rights offer shares in NG.:National Grid. 28 shares at 645p costing £180.60, with no commission charges. That brings my weighted average down to 933.8562p, meaning my shares are down 9% on when I bought them, which is better performance than most things I buy.

Portfolio value is mainly down for the same reasons as the ISA, but also all my gold and metal shares, and potential profits are down because of my sale, but also the same drops in gold and metal shares.


Still horrid.


Amazingly the trend line is still pointing upwards, but not for much longer.

A tiny drop in JLP:Jubilee Metals was mitigated by the rise in SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics so there was very little change.


I really need some news on the Roan copper upgrade from JLP:Jubilee Metals, as it was meant to be completed at the end of May, but it's looking increasingly like it wasn't done on time.


Still well north of the trend line, which is pointing upwards, so shouldn't complain really.

I won't sell any more CAML:Central Asia Metals now, as there are no burning desires to add anything else to my SIPP. It's nice to have diversified a little, but I do want to build my CAML holding back up again, as they have so much cash that either an acquisition or special dividend seem likely soon. I get another £2k transfer at the end of June so will use all that for CAML, and I have £5k of JLP:Jubilee Metals to sell when the Roan news comes out, much of which is destined for CAML.

Wednesday 5 June 2024

Week 460 Review - Two bad weeks in a row, but cashed in some profit to buy mega-caps in my SIPP.

Not a great week, with more shares down than up, although I did cash in over £500 of profits. Drops in both OPTI:Optibiotix and JLP:Jubilee Metals were the main contributors to a widening in the deficit between cost and value of £1,557 to £109,108 and an increase in the deficit between injection amount and value to £42,685. Total portfolio value dropped to £107,942.

Worst performer was IPX:Impax Asset Management which dropped 16% after results. I didn't think the results were that bad, and certainly not bad enough to justify a 16% drop. It's all the more frustrating as they'd only just got back into profit.

PAGE:Pagegroup dropped 6% for no reason I could see, although did go ex-dividend. This is another share that was on the cusp of going into profit, but they are now 10% down.

ASHM:Ashmore Group have been improving a little lately, but fell 5% this week to go 30% down overall.

There was some good news for PBX:Probiotix Health, which has been dropping like a stone sine IPO but went up 0.5p this week. That's 14%, but a bit meaningless seeing as they have fallen so far.

APAX:Apax Global Alpha went up 5% and are only 16% down now.

AFC:AFC Energy have been on a great run, and went up another 9% this week to go 24% up overall. Wishing I had bought more now.

TRX:Tissue Regenix wins Share of the Week after climbing 11% for no apparent reason. They are still 51% down, but that's a lot better than they have been. Is there light at the end of the tunnel for one of my larger holdings?

I've been a bit busy here as various opportunities appeared and so I've been using CAML:Central Asia Metals as a piggy bank to take advantage of them.

First I sold 526 CAML at 218.025p making £190.62 (19.9%) profit and used the proceeds to buy 41 shares in AAL:Anglo American Mining at 2434.0012p costing £1,014.88. I got them because they had dropped following the withdrawal of BHP's acquisition offer. It looks like BHP is only after the copper, so I think there'a a possibility AAL will flog off their non-copper assets, hopefully return that to shareholders, then accept the buy-out offer. If that happens then I will have got a bargain. If it doesn't happen then I still get the advantage of rising copper prices and diversifying my metals producers a bit.

On the same day I decided to diversify my copper producers a bit more, and sold another 500 shares in CAML at 218.7452p making £183.62 (20.1%) profit, and invested the proceeds in 252 shares of ATYM:Atalaya Mining at 430.525p costing £1,096.87. I've been watching these for ages, and I figure now is the time to take a position.

On the same day I decided to take the plunge on another share that's had a turbulent time recently and may be subject to a bidding war very soon, which is lots of fun. I sold another 500 shares in CAML at 218.6228p making £183.01 (20.1%) profit and invested the proceeds in 283 shares of SMDS:Smith (DS) costing £1,065.08. They make cardboard boxes, and International Paper have tried to buy them out, but had to pull out as they are also subject to an attempted buy-out. I had also walked past their local factory the day before, which made me think of them.

My year 9 projected performance has leapt to 13.6%, so even if I don't sell anything else in the next 6 months, I'll still achieve a creditable 7.4% unless I take a loss. I also got a £29 dividend from UKW:Greencoat UK Wind this week, but portfolio value and potential profits took a tumble.


Relatively flat


Need to get above that trend line!

Rubbish week again, as all the promise in the account evaporates. I'm still not selling my profitable JLP:Jubilee Metals holding until it gets to 11.5p and I make enough to allow me to buy 2 lots of shares with the proceeds.


Looked great a few weeks ago, less so now.


Still reasonably well above the trend line, but getting a bit worried.

My SIPP is suddenly looking a lot more sensible, with the addition of some mega-cap companies. I know I wanted to buy those with the proceeds form JLP:Jubilee Metals, but I wanted to take advantage of the current prices, so I'll use the JLP money to buy back CAML:Central Asia Metals.

Meanwhile the OPTI:Optibiotix clan continue to do absolutely bugger all except drift downwards. A 50% loss over 9 years is pretty devastating. As each week passes I feel less optimistic about them ever doing anything, other than causing nearly all my savings to stagnate worthlessly.

Week 459 Review - Recent good fortune reverses but bought some National Grid.

A really good week for some of my shares, but a bad one for some of my bigger holdings. The deficit between cost and value widened by £1,903 to £107,551 and deficit between injection amount and value is £41,777, with total portfolio value £108,850. I did however take some profits and withdrew some of my holiday money which had an impact.

My new purchase NG.:National Grid fell 12% on the ex-date for the rights issue, which was expected. I did qualify for the rights issue and will take them up, so hoping that will reduce my average enough to get back to break even. Not a great start for a new share, but it's part of a master plan.

ARBB:Arbuthnot Banking dropped 6%, but this seems to be mostly down to a widening of the spread so I'm not too concerned.

PAF:Pan African Resources fell 5% which I suspect is some profit taking after the recent steep rise.

SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics continues to slide and dropped 5% this week.

AJB:AJ Bell has been on a great run and went up another 7% this week to go 26% up.

AFC:AFC Energy are well into profit now after going up 9%. These are 14% up altogether.

Share of the Week is my other Hydrogen company CWR:Ceres Power, which shot up 19% and are now 3% in profit.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 43 of year 9.

I sold 16,072 shares in JLP:Jubilee Metals from my AJ Bell dealing account at 8.52p making £274.35 (25%) profit. I extracted £900 back into my holiday fund and moved £500 into my ISA. I used the £500 to buy 2,175 shares in IES:Invinity Energy at 22.98p costing £504.82. I've held these in my main ISA for years, but at an average price of 161.9p from when they were RedT Energy. I thought they were going bust, but the recent open offer and fund raise gives me hope they have turned a corner, and I still believe vanadium redox flow batteries are the future for grid energy storage.

I received a £32 dividend from CAML:Central Asia Metals and £18 from CAPD:Capital but value and potential profit both took a bit of a dive.


Just not closing that gap.


The trend line is almost flat. If we don't get above it next week I fear it will start pointing downwards.

The SIPP looks like this after week 443 overall and week 27 of year 9.

Compound performance40%+1%

I got a whopping £338 dividend from CAML:Central Asia Metals, and then sold some of them, as it's ages until the next dividend and I intend to buy them back when I sell my SIPP JLP:Jubilee Metals holding. I only sold 460 shares for 222.5565p making £184.55 (21.9%) profit. I used most of the proceeds to buy 98 shares in NG.:National Grid for 1016.387p costing £1,012.99. I did this because they had plummeted 10% after news of a rights issue. I figured I was getting cheap shares plus qualifying for the 28 shares in the rights issue at 645p and a dividend too. My weighted average will be 933.85p which seems pretty good, in the long term at least.

I added a bit of cash to the CAML dividend and bought another 359 shares in UKW:Greencoat UK Wind at 139.265p costing £514.41. I want to get some more of these to access their generous dividend. It also brought my HL account average down from 156p to 150p.

Share price and potential profits both slumped but nice to see projected year 9 performance above the 10% target at 12.5%.


The gap seems narrower than on the ISA


Trend line is still pointing upwards, but not for much longer.

The trading account looks like this after week 409 overall and week 45 of year 8.

A bad week for everything after a really good run. Maybe I should have sold JLP:Jubilee Metals after all.


Hope it's a blip


Still very healthily above the tend line

I'm 2 weeks late writing this so nothing more to say.
