To calculate the weekly performance on my portfolio I take the close from last Friday to work out the percentage increase/decrease in each stock. This is compared to the ASX 200 (Code: XJO) and the Small Ords (XSO). The Small Ords is comprised of companies included in the ASX 300 index, but not in the ASX 100 index. I include the Small Ords in my comparison as it helps highlight the markets appetite for risk.
Market: | Close (Friday 23/09/11): | Close (Friday 30/09/11): | Percentage Change: |
XJO | 3903 | 4008 | 2.69% |
XSO | 2233 | 2233 | 0.00% |
This week saw the XJO close up 2.69%, however the XSO remained completely flat. To me, this signifies that investors’ appetite for risk is still low and that interest in small and micro cap stocks remains low.
This is also reflected in my portfolio, with losses being suffered right across the board. This week both OBJ and MHM were off nearly 6% with KGL down another 2% following last week’s falls. On a weighted basis this resulted in a 2.47% drop in the portfolio’s value for the week.
Code: | Weighting: | Share Price (Friday 23/09/11): | Share Price (Friday 30/09/11): | Percentage Change: | Weighted Change: |
OBJ | 25.66% | 0.017 | 0.016 | -5.88% | -1.51% |
MHM | 12.50% | 0.61 | 0.575 | -5.74% | -0.72% |
KGL | 11.81% | 0.096 | 0.094 | -2.08% | -0.25% |
Cash | 50.03% | 0% | 0.00% | ||
TOTAL | -4.568% | -2.47% |
Clearly my decision to remain 50% cash is helping to buffet me against some losses, however, as the monthly report will show all my stocks are down by a fair margin.
Removing cash from the portfolio results in the a 4.95% drop.
Code: | Weighting: | Share Price (Friday 23/09/11): | Share Price (Friday 30/09/11): | Percentage Change: | Weighted Change: |
OBJ | 51.37% | 0.017 | 0.016 | -5.88% | -3.02% |
MHM | 25.01% | 0.610 | 0.575 | -5.74% | -1.44% |
KGL | 23.63% | 0.096 | 0.094 | -2.08% | -0.49% |
TOTAL | -4.95% |
