This is an extra post beyond my usual weekly Saturday postings in the light of the number of you who have looked at this since I started publicising this blog.
Thanks to all of you who have sent encouraging comments to me. If you'd like to be notified every time that there is a new post, pop your email into the bar on the right hand side and you will told every time there is a new post. This is just a feed- I will have no idea who has signed up to this!
A few of you have asked me to provide an update on my track record. As I write, I will use examples from the history of what I've invested in with some great examples and some disasters. The aim of each is to provide an opportunity to learn from these- how I learned and how I've tried to avoid replication of the disasters.
However I thought you might find it helpful for me to share my current ISA portfolio (where I do the majority of my UK share trading). I do have other accounts, but this is my focused one. I've included details of when I bought the share and how it has performed since. They run in descending order of performance (save where I've grouped the same share on a top up). Almost all of the current crop have been acquired since June 2019. I've also included details of the ones that I've sold since that time. It is worth saying that I have had an unusually good run recently and this is not wholly typical of past performance! The below is published subject to this disclaimer. which you must read and in reading further you are deemed to accept it.

+I'd love to say that I still hold all of my original holding. As it happens I've been selling this all the way up. As it happens I only hold about a value equal to £604 of my original holding, which is now worth £4,494. It is proof of the adage of "running your winners" if there ever was one...more on that in future weeks.

** A bad example of hanging on to a share for too long- one that I will return to.
