Week 566 Review - Bad week for the ISA and flat for the SIPP

This week could have been a lot worse. I was down by £4.5k by Thursday evening, but a big rally on Friday reduced my deficit to £1,511. It means the deficit between cost and value widens to £155,573 and the deficit between injection and value increases to £63,334. Total portfolio value drops to £122,054.

Worst performer was IES:Invinity Energy, dropping 21% as people took profits following the recent surge. I guess it was bound to happen.

SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics shares began trading again after they completed the fraud investigation. They ended up 16% down, but at one point in the week were 37% down, so this isn't bad.

HPOW:H-Power suffered a similar fate to IES, dropping 12% after recent strong gains.

THX:Thor Explorations was the worst hit of my gold miners, dropping 6%. Most of them were down this week, but not by that much.

Share of the Week is shared between GAW:Games Workshop and SBRE:Sabre Insurance, as both climbed 5% and were my only big risers this week.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 46 of year 11.

Most of my losses were in my ISA this week, with big drops for HPOW:H-Power, IES:Invinity Energy and SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics, with the drop in IES reducing potential profits by £104.


The rise is looking more like a blip along a steady decline.


Back below the trend line


The SIPP looks like this after week 550 overall and week 30 of year 11.

It was monthly investment time. I bought 106 shares in ESTC:European Smaller Companies Trust at 232.9611p costing £248.17 and 35 shares in BPM:BP Marsh & Partners at 699.5p costing £244.83. I've bought as many ESTC as I want now, but will continue with BPM for a few more months.

Portfolio value only dropped £251 and potential profits actually went up £234 and I got a £25 dividend from GCP:GCP Infrastructure Investments.


Still tantalisingly close to the injection line


Still below the trend line.


Hoping I can stay above £400 until August when I clear out some of my magic formula shares, hopefully for lots of profit.

There was an encouraging presentation from JLP:Jubilee Metals about their Molefe mine this week. It got me all excited in JLP again, but I'm not making the mistake of buying more shares. Every time I do that, the share price drops even further. I am optimistic it will turn around some time this summer when they can show production is increasing. That will be a game changer for my performance in both accounts. It's just taking a very, very long time. I need to keep reminding myself that I've been in this position with JLP before, but have made £1,700 profit in my SIPP and a massive £13,183 in my ISA, so this has been one of my best ever shares. There is hope!
