Week 576 Review - Fantastic week for the SIPP thanks to gold rally.

A great week thanks to the gold miners, with the deficit between cost and value improving by £3,630 to £146,127 and the deficit between injection and value reducing to £55,966. Total portfolio value increased to £132,522.

Worst performer was AMP:Ampeak Energy, which dropped 8%. I think that was profit taking after a spike last week. My holding is still 69% down.

If JLP:Jubilee Metals had stayed flat this would have been an even better week, but it fell 8% and dented my gains.

POLR:Polar Capital fell 7% for no obvious reason.

INVP:Investec dropped 6% but most of that was from going ex-dividend.

SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics drifted another 5% lower after no news.

CORE:Solidcore Resources climbed 6% so my holding is now 49% down. I can't actually sell them, but it gives me hope they'll eventually resume paying a dividend and maybe re-list on the London stock market.

ATYM:Atalya Mining climbed 7% and are pretty much back at the level they were before the placing, with my holding 13% up and making £559 potential profit.

RIO:Rio Tinto went up 8% and my holding is now up by 38% and making £868 potential profit.

PAGE:Michael Page seems to be recovering and climbed another 9% this week. My holding is still down by 56% and I can't average down as it has fallen out of my top 50 ranking. I may get an opportunity to sell if this momentum continues.

GGP:Greatland Resources went up 11% putting my recent holding at 16% up with £165 potential profit, and my older holding up by 70% making £2,407 potential profit.

FRES:Fresnillo climbed 12% but my holding is still down by 12% so I need the same again next week.

PBX:Probiotix Health went up 13% which allowed my small SIPP holding to go into profit, and I sold it as it doesn't qualify for being held in my SIPP, as it's not a magic formula share. I wish I had the chance to offload the other ineligible shares in my SIPP, but they are a long way from getting back into profit.

EDV:Endeavour Mining went up 15% so my holding is now 23% up with £981 potential profit.

PAF:Pan African Resources zoomed up 26% putting my recent smaller holding up by 17% with £250 potential profit, and my original holding up by 346% making £4,786 potential profit.

THX:Thor Explorations had been really frustrating as I couldn't understand the huge drop, but this week they also went up 26% and my holding is now only 17% down. 

Share of the Week is KNOS:Kainos Group, which rocketed up by 33% after stating profits would exceed expectations. That took my holding up by 43% and making £492 potential profit.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 4 of year 12.

Not a great week for the ISA due to the 8% drop in JLP:Jubilee Metals and also drops for SBTX:SkinBioTherapeutics, IES:Invinity Energy and AMRQ:Amaroq. I don't understand how most of my gold miners were in double digit rises, but AMRQ dropped in value. IES and AMRQ are my 2 profitable shares, so potential profits dropped by £65.


It's been pretty flat for a long time now.


Still a fraction above the trend line.


The SIPP looks like this after week 560 overall and week 40 of year 11.

I sold my small holding of 6,068 shares in PBX:Probiotix Health at 9,7775p and made £98:00 (19.7%) profit. I was planning to keep the cash to use for monthly investments, but when AMRQ:Amaroq dropped in price despite the price of gold rocketing, and with the potential for being added to FTSE indices next month, I decided to buy as many as I could. I bought 736 shares in my AJ Bell account at 103.2388p costing £764.84 and I also added £300 to my Hargreaves Lansdown account and bought 465 at 103.23p costing £486.97. I'll be a bit sad if they don't rally next week to catch up the other gold miners.

Portfolio value went up a healthy £4,147, of which £3,096 was increased potential profits. I didn't receive any dividend payments.


I do believe we're just about touching the injection line!


A healthy gap above the trend line, but in the past that has been very short lived. Will this time be any different?


It's time to re-calculate my magic formula rankings, so I'm hoping some of my existing profitable holdings will have dropped out of the top 50 so I can sell them and bring some new blood into the portfolio. I just need to find time to crunch all the numbers.
