As 2005 draws to an end

Well a couple of days to go before the market shuts for the end of 2005. My total gains (net of tax) so far this year are:

£73,500 ($128,000)

which has only beaten the FTSE all-share index by about 2.5% .... so nothing like as strong as in the previous three years.

Most recent purchase: addition of more MSB after its recent plunge following its profit warning. Rather contrarian .. the management need a good kicking ... I'll certainly vote to support their removal or accept a reasonable bid.
