Week 472 Review - Exactly the same as last week as biggest holdings fall.

It was a reasonable week in my SIPP but a bad one in my ISA, with OPTI:Optibiotix, SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics and JLP:Jubilee Metals all dropping. The deficit between cost and value widened by £3,629 to £101,916 and portfolio value dropped to £120,623. The gap between injection amount and value widened to £34,554.

Joint worst performers were OPTI:Optibiotix and SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics, which both fell 6% for the 2nd week in a row. Every time there's a ray of hope it gets dashed almost immediately. This has been going on for years and I'm fed up!

They were the only major fallers, but there were few major gainers. APAX:Apax Global Alpha and IES:Invinity Energy both went up 5%, with IES getting back into reporting territory as they are only 88% down now.

Share of the Week was PAGE:Pagegroup which has had a torrid time of late, but which rose 6% this week and is now only 20% down. They just about qualify as keepers in my SIPP, and I'm sure they will do well once recruitment starts picking up again.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 4 of year 10.

Big drop in value from my largest holdings, and another £473 potential profit wiped off one of my OPTI:Optibiotix holdings.


Rubbish


Amazingly still above the trend line, but falling more steeply than it is.

The SIPP looks like this after week 456 overall and week 40 of year 9.

This has less exposure to my bigger holdings and so fell half as much as the ISA, with potential profits actually increasing by £378 thanks to my magic formula shares which nearly all went up a little this week. Projected annual profit fell below my 10% target, but with 12 weeks to go year 8 is looking pretty good. Not much prospect of selling anything else though.


Painfully close to crossing the injection line, but still below it.


Running parallel to the trend line and hopefully not getting any closer, until it changes direction.

The trading account looks like this after week 422 overall and week 6 of year 9.

JLP:Jubilee Metals fell 3% despite a good production update, and SBTX:SkinBioTherapeurics fell 6% so the value dropped £46 and I'm stuck in a rut.


Slow and steady decline


Desperation has set in.

I'm thinking of just not bothering looking for a few months, in the hope there's some good news and I get a nice surprise next time I look, as the wait is driving me mad, and even if there is an update it's met with either a brief spike or absolutely nothing at all. It's not going to happen though - I want to maintain my weekly record of events so I'll grin and bear it.

Next month I'm doubling my work pension contributions, so there should be an extra £250 a month going in. That may mean I have enough to do a £2,000 transfer to my SIPP next month, and should mean I can do a transfer every 3 months instead of 4 months going forward, so more magic formula shares to come.
