Week 515 Review - Horrible week throughout most of the portfolio.

A dreadful week with big fallers all over the place, including every single one of my biggest holdings. The deficit between cost and value widened by £3,908 to £138,115 and the deficit between injection and value widened to £64,120 which I'm pretty sure is a new record. The portfolio value dropped to £106,342. It's basically the worst it's ever been and no sign of getting better.

The biggest faller was PBX:Probiotix Health, dropping 13% for no reason other than lack of news and in illiquid trading platform.

PAGE:Pagegroup fell 10% after bad results from a fellow recruitment company, but I thought those were already priced in. These are now 52% down and one of my worst performing magic formula shares. I'm confident they will rebound but it may take some time. I won't be buying more at the moment.

GSK:GSK had been creeping towards profitability but dropped 7% this week to go 15% down after Trump threatened tariffs on drugs coming from overseas.

JLP:Jubilee Metals dropped another 6% so my recent purchases were not well timed. As this is my 2nd largest holding, much of the week's losses were from here.

TLOU:Tlou Energy fell another 6% to go 47% down, a slide that will continue a while longer I fear.

TRX:Tissue Regenix have absolutely slumped since announcing a strategic review - they fell another 6% this week to go 79% down.

AFC:AFC Energy have had a few great weeks, but dropped 5% this week but at least are only 16% down in my remaining ISA holding.

CAML:Central Asia Metals fell 5% after jitters caused by a rival bid for the new mine they are after.

PSN:Persimmon also fell 5% just as they were getting towards being profitable, and are now 10% down.

IES:Invinity Energy has been down by over 90% so I haven't been reporting on them, but a 31% increase on the back of a new contract sees them only 88% down, so I have to mention them, but they are not deserving of Share of the Week.

Share of the Week goes to CAPD:Capital after a brilliant set of results saw them climb 15%. They are still 24% down, but looking a hell of a lot better. They are no longer in my top 50 magic formula shares after dropping to 66 in the ranking, so I will sell them if they get back into profit.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 47 of year 10.

Very little happened other than a huge drop in value.


Desperate


Well below the trend line


Boring.

The SIPP looks like this after week 499 overall and week 31 of year 10.

I sold my holding in AFC:AFC Energy, as I never should have bought it in the SIPP. I'll hold onto my ISA holding though. I sold my 6,551 shares at 17.1211p making £100.71 (9.8%) profit. I used the proceeds to buy another 250 shares in POLR:Polar Capital Holdings, as they are paying a massive dividend in July, and although the big tech companies they are heavily invested in have recovered their share prices, POLR hasn't, so I feel it has room to grow. It also sits 4th on my magic formula ranking, so I wanted more. I paid 439.5341p costing £1,110.79.

Huge drop in portfolio value the same as the ISA, but only a £5 drop in potential profits as the magic formula shares mostly held their ground.


Very similar to ISA


Also below the trend line. I long for the day when this portfolio has a completely different set of shares to the ISA. Unfortunately it's taking longer than I had hoped to offload JLP:Jubilee Metals and OPTI:Optibiotix.


A rare glimmer of hope, with an upward facing trend line and lots of dividends due.
