I seem to have managed to make 24.5% this year - about 3% above the FTSE-All Share. No great shakes compared to past outperformance. Interesting, I passed the landmark of a 600% gain since 1 Jan 1999 a few weeks ago. Life is a lot easier with a portfolio 7 times its former size.
Off to Spain for a few days ... will supply more detailed reviews over the next few weeks.
Transactions: none this week (at least that means no stamp duty for our greedy Chancellor of the Exchequer .... actually he's a greedy miserable Scottish puritan ... except when it comes to wasting the money of British taxpayers)*.
Questions: how much higher can gold go and will there be the same lagged response in the shares of gold miners as last time?
* Guess when our smart-arse Chancellor sold most of the UK's gold reserves - at the top or the bottom of the cycle?
