Back again….losses in the portfolio but not too bad

By gameplan | Published: October 25, 2008
Its been quite a time since my last post – no excuses except for the fact that it has been impossible to spot trends in the current markets.  With volatility at its all time peak it seems that following trends is a thing of the past – for now anyway! My SIPP has been only about [...]

April Update

By gameplan | Published: May 5, 2008
This is starting to get annoying.  I have done my best to buy when the moving averages cross upwards and sell when they corss downwards but……as soon as I do the “right thing” it turns out that the evil indicators lied, and I actually did the “wrong thing”.  All the trend following books warned me that this [...]

January 2008 – progress update

By gameplan | Published: February 3, 2008
The update for the Month of January doesn’t make pretty reading.  The recent volatility saw me exiting most positions as prices crashed, meaning I didn’t have the advantage of the following bounce. Month Cumulative Portfolio World Index Portfolio World Index Nov-07 -2.7% -0.8% -2.7% -0.8% Dec-07 5.2% 2.0% 2.4% 1.2% Jan-08 -9.1% -7.3% -6.8% -6.2% So I am 6.8% down compared to the World Index which is only 6.2% down.  I think that there could be worse [...]
