A pretty good week, with a lot of buying and selling activity in the SIPP, some planned and some forced. The deficit between cost and value narrowed by just £318 to £135,523, but I banked more than £900 profit, so the real performance was much better. The deficit between injection and value reduced to £60,431 and total portfolio value increased to £115,281.
Worst performer was SAE:Simec Atlantis Energy which dropped 11% to go 79% down. No real reason except lack of news.
I think the same goes for IES:Invinity Energy, which fell 8% to go 86% down, so if it falls much more at least I won't have to report on it any more.
TLOU:Tlou Energy dropped 8%, but it is fluctuating wildly at the moment. It's only 19% down so I'm still feeling much more positive.
AFC:AFC Energy dropped 6% which brings it dangerously close to the retail offer price. If it drops below that, then my £500 will be wasted as I've committed to the purchase now.
YU.:Yu Group has had a pretty bad start as one of my brand new shares. I bought in anticipation of a rise on results, but it dropped 5% instead.
RIO:Rio Tinto climbed 5% and is only 10% down now, and seems to have positive momentum.
ALU:Alumasc Group has been slipping a little lately, but went up 6% this week to go 86% up altogether.
IGG:IG Group had good results and went up 6% to go 38% up since I bought them.
BOKU:Boku also had good results and climbed 7% to go 10% up, which is great as this is my only profitable ISA share.
CAML:Central Asia Metals finally gave up trying to buy an American company and the shares responded with an 8% rise, but all my holdings are still making a loss.
PAGE:Pagegroup went up 8% for no obvious reason.
Share of the Week, rather reluctantly, is TRX:Tissue Regenix which went up 29% for no obvious reason. I think the sell-off was over-done when they had their strategic review and tried to find a buyer for the company, but even with this rise my holding is 74% down, so this isn't a great performer.
Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 52 of year 10.

The good news is that potential profits went up £74 thanks to the surge in BOKU:Boku. The bad news is I lost £479 in value with small drops in JLP:Jubilee Metals and bigger drops in TLOU:Tlou Energy and AFC:AFC Energy
We're at the end of Year 10, so how have things changed since the end of Year 9? Portfolio cost was £104,996 vs £115,378 so I've added around £11k. Portfolio value was £60,352 and it's now £40,101 so I've lost £31k of value and gone from 42.5% down to 65.2% down. My annual performance for Year 9 was £67 (1.1%) a month and in Year 10 it's £30 (0.4%), and my long term performance at the end of Year 9 was £274 (4.3%) a month and now it's £245 (3.4%). In summary, a rubbish year.
It's really pretty awful.
Perfectly following the trend line downwards.
An awful lot happened this week.

The SIPP looks like this after week 504 overall and week 36 of year 10.

An awful lot happened this week.
I refreshed my magic formula ranking and two of my profitable companies dropped out of the top 50 so I decided to sell them.
The first was ATYM:Atalya Mining which dropped to 143rd. I sold my 252 shares at 462.992p making a pretty small £57.92 (5.2%) profit, but I am expecting a dividend any day and have already had £15, so the overall profit will be more like 9%. I wanted to stay in copper so bought another 802 shares in CAML:Central Asia Metals at 147.4p costing £1,194.10. Happy to say the announcement about dropping the American purchase happened shortly after and the price has gone up.
The next sale was TRY:TR Property Investment which dropped to 260th in the ranking. I sold my 383 shares for 326.02p and made £26.18 (2.1%) profit, but again I have £21 dividend and another due, so it will be more like 6% profit when that arrives. I bought a new company called YU.:Yu Group which popped up at number 5 in my rankings. I bought 84 shares at 1580p costing £1,332.20.
The next sale was expected, as ALPH:Alpha Group had been in negotiations about being bought out which were due to end this week. The news broke and the share price rocketed to just below what they will be bought for. I decided that losing £70 by not waiting until September was worth it, as I doubt there will be a bidding war and the price will stagnate at that level for 2 months. I sold my 72 shares for 4146.6p making a £971.91 (48.2%) profit, and I've only had a puny £5 dividend so that made no difference.
I used part of the proceeds to by 785 shares in SBRE:Sabre Insurance Group who underwrite car insurance. They are ranked 12th in my magic formula spreadsheet and pay a 6.5% dividend. I paid 150.5p costing £1,199.29. I used the rest to buy another 1,129 shares in CAML:Central Asia Metals at 156.0192p costing £1,773.41. Unfortunately that was inflated as it was just after the announcement of the America deal ending and the shares fell to 153.2p by the end of the week. I now own 6,698 CAML shares in my SIPP costing £11,085, making them one of my biggest holdings. I won't buy any more now, and future copper purchases will be BHP:BHP Group and RIO:Rio Tinto as there are no others in my top 30 ranking.
The last sale was very frustrating as APAX:Apax Global Alpha announced they were getting bought out, but for quite a bit less than I paid for them. I sold my 570 shares at 163.01p making a loss of £139.04 (-13.1%). Fortunately I'd had £176 in dividends so overall I was up by 4%. I used the proceeds to buy another 193 shares in POLR:Polar Capital at 482.25p costing £935.74. These pay a massive dividend and are 7th in my magic formula spreadsheet. I now own 705 shares costing £3,438.71 and am about to get a dividend the week after next.
Given that I cashed over £900 profit, it was great to see portfolio value up by £798 and potential profits remaining pretty flat. I also had a £10 dividend from BPM:BP Marsh & Partners and £13 from III:3i Group, but no sign of my dividend from ATYM:Atalya Mining which was meant to arrive on Thursday.

Year 10 performance improves by £100 a month, but long term performance only improved by £7 a month, and at 4.2% is still way below my target of 10%.
I like the look of that green line!
Much joy that we're above the trend line, and have been relatively flat for the last 6 months despite the big declines in my 2 biggest holdings OPTI:Optibiotix and JLP:Jubilee Metals.
Although the long term performance isn't great, it's getting better.

A very busy week - so I suspect next week will be much more quiet. I should get the ATYM:Atalya Mining dividend, and one from TRY:TR property Investment, but no expectations for anything else. It would be nice to get copper production guidance from JLP:Jubilee Metals but I'm worried it won't be good and the price could drop even more. There's also the circular about the South Africa sale that we're expecting, which again isn't likely to be positive for the share price.
