Its been a few weeks since I last looked properly at my portfolio as life has been extremely hectic. But thankfully I'm back in positive YTD territory after a disappointing start to 2026.

Its been a while since I last posted. Life has been extremely hectic and I've barely looked at my portfolio.
The last week has delivered a ⬇️ performance with no risers whatsoever. Fortunately, I'm holding a significant proportion in cash so hoping to take advantage of a few bargains.

Thank you for your kind words.
Not every investment or decision works out well- and that's how 2025 went for me. And whilst my investment performance was disappointing, I'm not going to dwell on that. Investing requires resilience and 2026 will bring new interesting and exciting opportunities.
I wish all my fellow investors a prosperous New Year.
The end result from 2025 was disappointing for me.
Portfolio total return was -6.3% against a market which soared. Three of my largest holdings #DATA, #GAMA and #PAY did most of the damage as they all fell significantly.
