Week 506 Review - Great week sees us almost back to pre-tariff value.

A great week for most shares in my portfolio, including my largest holdings. The deficit between cost and value narrowed by £8,424 to £127,200 and the deficit between injection amount and value reduced to £54,291. Total portfolio value increased to £116,621, which is almost back to where it was before Trump announced his tariffs. However, the gains are largely due to my larger holdings and not so much my magic formula shares, many of which which are still down since the tariff announcements.

The only share that dropped significantly was TLOU:Tlou Energy which fell 28%, but I suspect this is a false drop, as ASX does odd things with the bid price. It will likely bounce back next week.

CAML:Central Asia Metals, GAW:Games Workshop, III:3i Group and PAGE:Pagegroup all climbed 6%.

APAX:Apax Global Alpha, IPX:Impax Asset Management, JLP:Jubilee Metals and TRY:TR Property Investment all went up by 7%.

ALPH:Alpha Group went up 9% and are back in profit by 1%.

PSN:Persimmon also went up 9% but are still 17% down.

SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics recovered 11% so my ISA holding is only down by 6% now.

ATYM:Atalaya Mining went up 14% after a good production update.

Share of the Week is OPTI:Optibiotix, who announced a new US deal for Slimbiome which could be a big one and went up 16% in response. We are getting some bigger Slimbiome deals these days, so if they can just generate some decent revenue, then any SweetBiotix announcement will be the icing on the cake.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 38 of year 11.

Cash dropped a little due to AJ Bell fees and value soared. Nothing else happened.

Boing.

Back above the trend line.

The SIPP looks like this after week 490 overall and week 22 of year 10.

I had a £29 dividend from RIO:Rio Tinto minus AJ Bell fees, value went up more than the ISA, and potential profits increased by £366.

Keeping pace with the injection line but not getting close enough for my liking.

A big jump, but only enough to touch the injection line.

JLP:Jubilee Metals announced great production results from South Africa but there's still a seller keeping the price down. The big news will be copper production in Zambia, which should be due soon. Even with a big seller, that could send the price significantly higher. I wish it would, as I really want to sell the SIPP shares and put them into magic formula shares while prices are still depressed.

Meanwhile there's a bit more optimism at OPTI:Optibiotix, so could we get a gradual and sustained recovery back to the 40p level? I think that's where we should be right now, and it would put me almost back on the injection line.
