Trading portfolio It was another poor day for the portfolio, with the YTD return falling 1.4% to the 9% level. It left the return for the full week down by 0.7%. The day started well with good rises in FBR and FGR within the first 30 minutes or so. FBR recorded a high of 13.5¢, up 1.0¢ … Read more
Trading portfolio Well, that didn’t last long. The gains of yesterday were reversed today with a number of key stocks falling heavily including ZLD down 15% to 11¢, TAS down 9% to 20¢, CPH down 6% to 66.5¢, MMJ down 6% to 58.5¢ and LYC down 5% to 9.3¢. Offsetting that to some extent was … Read more
Trading portfolio This morning I doubled my holding in Lynas Corporation (LYC, 9.8¢, $358m) at 10¢, and likewise in MMJ Phytotech (MMJ, 62¢, $127m) at 63.5¢, and got back into Audio Pixels (AKP, $16.00, $430m) at $16.00. All three had quite good breakouts, albeit not to new highs. I am not sure what was behind … Read more
Trading portfolio Another good day with the portfolio return up 0.5% to bring the YTD total to 10.1%. Main movers were TLG up 7% to a new high, CPH up 5% and FBR up 4%. I am hoping FBR – the largest holding – will go for a run because it looked well bid at … Read more

Portfolio A better day today, up marginally. Big movers were ZLD up 12% (to a new high) and LBT up 5%. There were no major falls but a further 4% decline in the biggest holding FBR was disappointing. Battery raw materials First Graphite (FGR, 9.3¢) and Talga (TLG, 74¢) remain the only graphite stocks of any … Read more
Portfolio Today I sold out of Brainchip (BRN) at 22¢ after it tentatively broke down yesterday, making a sizable loss on the purchase price of 27.5¢. In hindsight, the sale was possibly premature, which would be doubly disappointing. We will see. The portfolio finished down another 1% today, taking the YTD return to 8%. Graphene … Read more
Portfolio Another down day, with the YTD return falling 1% to just under 9%. TLG rose 15% but a number of smaller falls, including BRN, LNU and most of the cannabis stocks, offset that. Tomorrow I might have to sell some stocks that have broken support. Battery stocks Another very ordinary day in this sector. … Read more
Portfolio The trading portfolio crashed yesterday (Thursday), down 2% to take the YTD return down to a little under 10%. BLT, CPH and ZLD each fell 7-8% and there were few bright spots. Over the week ZLD rose 14% and EOS rose 10% while BLT, BOT, MMJ and VPC each fell 10-12%. A summary of … Read more
Portfolio The YTD return fell 1.3% today with a few of the larger stocks falling a bit, especially Tasman Resources (TAS) which fell 6%, Zelda Therapeutics (ZLD) falling 4% and the less important Cassini (CZI) falling 11%. So, it seems my comment yesterday was indeed the kiss of death (just joking – still happy with … Read more
Portfolio The portfolio finished up 0.5%, increasing the YTD total return to almost 13%. Good performances were again made by ZLD up another 13% to another high, and a 4% increase in TAS following EDE’s encouraging announcement also helped. There were also a lot of falls but they were all quite small. The other big holdings, … Read more
Trading portfolio The portfolio did OK today, up a marginal 0.4%. Most shares rose but a small fall in the largest holding Fastbrick Robotics (FBR, 12¢) offset most of the gains. The best performance was by cannabis biotech Zelda (ZLD, 12¢) up 14% to match its previous high. An announcement by Talga (TLG, 56.5¢) before the market … Read more
Portfolio The day started off with a sea of green but at the end of the day there were some patches of red and the portfolio finished up less than 1%. Best performers were EOS and CZI each up 7% and ZLD up 5%. The rise in EOS to $2.87 took it to a new … Read more
Portfolio What a turnaround! The portfolio’s YTD return now stands at 12%, down 4% today. Most of the stocks fell, the worst being BLT down 19%, ZLD down 9% and TLG down 7%. These were the exact same stocks that did so well yesterday so it wasn’t really a surprise I guess (but I would … Read more
Portfolio Another interesting day with the YTD return up another 1% to bring the total to 15%. Right from the start both Benitec Biopharma (BLT, 26.5¢ $54m) and Zelda Therapeutics (ZLD, 11¢, $36m) jumped out of the blocks and remained strong all day. They finished ahead 32% and 21% – huge performances. BLT broke through … Read more
Portfolio It was another interesting day. A lot of excitement and angst, but at the end of the day the YTD return was unchanged. The cannabis biotechs all weakened. I had to take action to preserve my profit in MMJ, just in case, and now I am wondering about ZLD too. I thought it would … Read more
