It has been a tumultuous few months on the markets. To protect the downside risk I sold a number of investments in the winter and early spring, particularly those associated with creating, maintaining or holding property:
Thus, I have shifted the portfolio to hold more cash. However, there were two opportunities to buy which I couldn’t resist:
In January I bought into the deep value investment of Wynnstay, a farm supplies company, at £3.173. The tables below show the results (so far) of the shares bought for the portfolios I’ve been writing about in my Newsletters. The comments I made at the time explaining the rationale for each investment are available for you to read in older newsletters - there is nowhere for me to hide from my appraisals made three, four or five years ago. I present the returns after taking the hit on broker costs, stamp duty and bid/offer spread. My first purchase was 25th July 2013 when the FTSE100 was at 6,620. It is now at 6,170.
