Week 577 Review - Massive SIPP change after re-generating magic formula rankings

This might take a while to write, as I cashed in a load of profits in my SIPP and replaced shares that fell out of the top 50 ranking with shares in the top 30. I'm happy to say most of my shares remain in the top 50, as I would rather hold onto them.

The result was a widening in the deficit between cost and value of £2,663 to £148,791, but that was after cashing in £3,359 of profit, so it was really an up week. The deficit between injection and value grew to £54,763 and total portfolio value went up to £133,725.

Given gold stayed up during the week and results were very good, it's a real surprise that my worst performer was GGP:Greatland Resources, which dropped 7%.

IES:Invinity Energy have been drifting, and fell another 6% this week.

I thought FNX:Fonix had started to turn around, but they dropped 5% this week.

Two of my brand new holdings got off to a bad start, with SRB:Serabi Gold and WVIA:Winvia Entertainment both dropping 5% from when I bought them.

There were very few big risers this week.

CORE:Solidcore Resources climbed 6% and it was interesting that a new investor offered to buy my shares vie a tender offer, but they had the cheek to offer less than the current share price. It did make me wonder if these may be considering re-listing in UK.

MSI:MS International also went up 6% so my holding is 25% up now.

Share of the week is ATYM:Atalya Mining, which climbed 12% as the price of copper went up. These are now above the recent placing price and my holding is up 27% and making £1,158 potential profit. I'm hoping these will be a long term holding.

Here's the ISA and shares portfolio after week 5 of year 12.

I got a gigantic £418 dividend from TRU:Trufin, and as their share price hasn't recovered from ex-dividend day, I re-invested it in the same company, buying 427 shares at 97.78p costing £422.52. That increased by holding by 50% and reduced my average price to 105.6p.

Portfolio value went up a small amount, and potential profits dropped by just £4. The dividend took me into positive performance for year 12.


Still remarkably flat.


Just above the trend line.


The dividend give us a little nudge upwards.

The SIPP looks like this after week 561 overall and week 41 of year 11.

This was a week of significant change, with 8 companies falling out of the top 50 in my magic formula ranking and being sold. I made £3,359 profit on those sales, and although my portfolio value stayed pretty much the same, the difference between cost and value suffered by £3,065 due to the profits being cashed in. That means it would have been an up week if I hadn't sold a load of shares.

I kept almost £1,000 cash in my AJ Bell account to use for monthly purchases of £250. I also got a £26 dividend from UKW:Greencoat UK Wind.

These are the shares I sold

33 shares in CKN:Clarkson at 5046.053p making £469.84 (39.9%) profit.
18 shares in GAW:Games Workshop at 18462p making £1,104.52 (49.7%) profit.
26 shares in RSW:Renishaw at 5018.99p making £206.12 (19.3%) profit.
41 shares in RIO:Rio Tinto at 7671.5644p making £874.75 (38.5%) profit.
206 shares in INVP:Investec at 633.69p making £153.01 (13.8%) profit
785 shares in SBRE:Sabre Insurance at 171.21p making £137.76 (11.4%) profit.
127 shares in KNOS:Kainos Group at 1237.05p making £430.62 (38.4%) profit.
145 shares in BPM:BP Marsh & Partners at 672.55p making £16.72 (-1.7%) loss.

I would normally have kept BPM until it was in profit, but there was something else I wanted to buy, and the loss was miniscule. I kept my larger holding in BPM until it gets into profit, but will sell it then.

Here are the new shares that I bought with the proceeds

Ranked 4, MEGP:ME Group International 869 shares at 125.12p costing £1,099.68
Ranked 9, NICL:Nichols 104 shares at 1139p costing £1,191.51
Ranked 12, MYI:Murray International Trust 292 shares at 372.3525p costing £1,099.66
Ranked 13, KEYS:Keystone Law 186 shares at 587.5p costing £1,099.70
Ranked 16, INPP:International Public Partnerships 780 shares at 139.965p costing £1,098.68
Ranked 19, WVIA:Winvia Entertainment 441 shares at 247.8p costing £1,099.75
Ranked 21, SRB:Serabi Gold 630 shares at 320.25p costing £2,034.62.
Ranked 22, BRWM:Blackrock World Mining Trust 105 shares at 1032.5491p costing £1,096.55
Ranked 29, QLT:Quilter 562 shares at 193.268p costing £1,098.55
Ranked 32, LWDB:Law Debenture 87 shares at 1251.6722p costing £1,099.39. (Note these are outside the top 30 but there are 2 companies I can't buy on ethical grounds in the top 30, so I extended to 32 and I liked the look of this one.

I also bought another 947 shares in AMRQ:Amaroq at 104.8448p costing £999.83 in my Hargreaves Lansdown account, and another 715 at 104.8448p costing £754.64 in my AJ Bell account.

There are 5 companies in the top 30 I still don't own, so shall watch them over the next 6 months and hopefully buy some next time I get a pension transfer. 

Now it's just a case of sitting back and seeing what happens!


The value line is still on the injection line. I dream of getting consistently above it.


The profit taking hit this one quite badly, but we're still above the trend line.


Yes - back above the trend line! Probably not for long, but over the last 12 months I've improved my long-term performance by around £100 per month, which I've got to be happy with. If only I can get the portfolio value back in the black

I was quite sad to see some of my shares go, particularly GAW:Games Workshop, but I also enjoyed the complete lack of any bias when selling. If it fell out of the top 50, then it got sold, however much I liked it. If only I could bring more of my portfolio in line with this form of management. One day I'd love to be able to offload JLP:Jubilee Metals and OPTI:Optibitoix without a massive loss and move the proceeds into this system. I did get to do it with some of my PBX:Probiotix Health shares, so there is hope.
