Report for December 2005

December was another decent month with the FTSE100 rising 3% and our portfolio rising 2%. The Unit Value is now at 109.5, a 1% rise on the month.

Best performers in the month were WPP (up 11%) and Tesco (up 8%), with BHP Billiton and Severn Trent not far behind.

Since the July AGM Vodaphone have fallen by 14% and we need to prepare to make a decision soon about selling these shares. Apart from O2 (which appears here for the last time), there have been strong performances in the half-year from BHP Billiton and Speedy Hire. African Platinum has had a few wobbles, and has yet to show its true potential.

And 2006 is looking good already!

It's high time we made a new investment. I'm inclined to suggest we speculate with another £1k on African Platinum. Any thoughts?

I think that would put too much weight into Mining/Natural resources. If we're going in that direction, there is still the bio-energy path we have started to think about.
