Weekly Update: Week Ending 4 November 2011

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.

Percentage Change:
XJO

4281
-1.65%
XSO

2395
-1.60%


The Market was sold off earlier in the week on fears the European Bailout Package was going to be put to a referendum in Greece. By the end of the week these fears had all but been dispelled and we rallied strongly on Friday. As a result both the XJO and XSO ended the week down -1.65% and -1.60% respectively.

My portfolio outperformed strongly this week with OBJ continuing to see some strong buying after their recent announcement on the US Patent approval. OBJ finished the week up 0.001c or 4.55%.

The best performer was however, MHM, which released a long awaiting US Salt Slag/Black Dross supply agreement on Friday which pushed the share price to an intra-day high of 92cents. Unfortunately there were a few conditions associated with the contract which I think held us back from closing near those highs. MHM did however manage to increase by almost 10% for the week.

KGL was also up slightly (3.09%) and closed at 0.10. As a result the portfolio increased by 2.33% for the week, outperforming the broader market by almost 4%.
