Week 482 Review - Portfolio falls under £100k after yet another awful week.

Yet another desperately awful week as OPTI:Optibiotix drops another 2p, salvaged slightly by PBX:Probiotix Health climbing 2.5p, but compounded by nearly everything else falling. The deficit between cost and value widened by £2,849 to £133,389 and deficit between injection amounts and value is now £64,450, with portfolio value dropping below £100k to £98,812. I'm beginning to think this is never going to turn around.

Worst performer was TLOU:Tlou Energy, which dropped 43% after announcing they are de-listing from AIM. So that was a brilliant wheeze, buying back into them a few weeks ago because it looked like they were not far form generating electricity. Fortunately I can trade them on ASX with AJ Bell, so I'll hang onto them.

OPTI:Optibiotix fell another 17% and crippled my portfolio. I'm really starting to lose hope in these ever recovering.

CWR:Ceres Power are meant to be a relatively stable FTSE250 company, but they dropped another 8% this week to go 9% down.

PSN:Persimmon have had a terrible couple of weeks, and dropped another 7% so are only 1% up now.

CMCL:Caledonia Mining should still be going upwards, but I'm guessing people are taking profits, and they dropped 6% but are still 14% up.

PBX:Probiotix Health won the vote to sack the CEO and responded with a speactacular 63% rise in share price, but they don't deserve Share of the Week as I voted to sack them. The shares are still 68% down, but the rise helped mitigate the huge drop in OPTI.

TRX:Tissue Regenix went up 11% on speculation they are considering selling the company. The problem is, my holding is still 57% down, so if they do sell the company I'll almost certainly make a loss.

FXPO:Ferrexpo have been creeping up recently, and rose 15%, but are still 87% down. I can at least start reporting on their movements again now they're less than 90% down.

Share of the Week is ALU:Alumasc Group which climbed 20% and are now 53% up in a reasonably short amount of time. They paid me a nice dividend too, they they are 57% up if you include that.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 14 of year 10.

I had some dividends and figured I'd take advantage of the huge drop in TLOU:Tlou Energy to increase my holding at half the price, so added a bit more cash to my ISA and bought 36,913 shares at 7.45p costing £280. That takes my holding to 96,716 costing £1,284 and drops my average price from 1.73p to 1.35p. Unfortunately they dropped a bit further after my purchase, which wasn't meant to happen.

Aside from that, there was a huge drop in portfolio value and not much else.


The less said the better


It's certainly consistent apart from the one blip.

I got a £41 dividend from ALU:Alumasc Group, potential profits dropped by £115 which could have been worse, and another big drop in portfolio value.


Desperate


As with the ISA, in free-fall.

SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics went up a little, so potential profits gained £5, but JLP:Jubilee Metals dropped a little, so portfolio value went down £9.


The brief tick upwards has stopped


Dragging that trend line downwards.

I'm late writing this and Trump has already won the election, so I'm even more depressed than usual.
