Another month and another roller coaster. A bit like last month it went down and then up in time at the end of the month. My portfolio is still down on July though, but I took the opportunity to buy a lot of stocks too. I haven’t caught up on my admin to give my worst and best performer for sure, but I think I’m ok to go with the the following…
My holdings in Burford Capital were halved - but I bought more as I think it is an overreaction. I’m still 50% down though. Kraft Heinz dropped 21% and Legal and General plunged 16%. Such is life.
It was a bit pathetic on the green front. Sports Direct recovered 10% after the crash last month and Coca Cola grew 5%.
My worst month to date which means it was a great buying month for me.I bought throughout the month as I didn’t know when the market might bottom out. I’m sure it won’t be the last time, but I got some stocks pretty cheap.
How about you?

Yeah, all my investments were down at the start of the month. just kept buying. looking at my portfolio now the biggest drops are from BT and Lloyds in terms of overall value as these are my biggest holdings. a lot of the smaller holdings have recovered.
Yeah wasnt a good month for banking. I think the markets fear a cut in the interest rate due to Fed in US, Brexit and a possible recession. Personally I think banking stocks are great value.
William Hill, Astrazeneca and Physical Silver are doing nicely for me, up 20, 23 and 26% respectively. Legal and General has sunk like a stone and Shell is also taking a bit of a hammering.
Agreed, a rollercoaster month. My standout stock is Polymetal which up 20% over the last month. I just wish that it had been added to Freetrade earlier!
Worst performer is Sirius at -30% on the month but buying in the dips still means ahead overall.
