Day 35 – Portfolio Value £6,289 Up £165 On Th...After a mixed day for our little, green share portfolio, ReneSola shoved us into positive territory with a 7% gain, busting a little resistance on the way. As the heftiest share in our portfolio – on current weighting it makes up 56% of our holdings – any movements in ReneSola’s share price has a substantial effect on where we end the day. After exploring 140 pence yesterday, tod...

Day 34 – Portfolio Value £6,185 Up £276 On Th...Now that’s the sort of day we’d like to see more often. In fact, to show you what we’re up against here with our far-fetched Investor Trader challenge, if, for the remaining 1,791 days of our project, our portfolio were to appreciate by £276 (as it has today), we’d amass a further £494,316. Add that to our current portfolio value of £6,185 brings us in at £500,501. Roug...

Day 24 – Portfolio Value £5,244 Up £118 On Th...As I kind of expected, ReneSola returned some of it’s value on Friday, regaining 6.75 pence of the 14.75 pence it bled on Thursday. Having both a London Stock Exchange and a New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) listing takes a little of the crystal ball gazing out of a share like ReneSola, where you can continue to follow the action across the Pond when London has shut up shop for the day. Howev...

Day 23 – Portfolio Value £5,040 Down £420 On ...Red, red, red, our little green portfolio is redder than a sunburnt communist – finishing the day down £420. And speaking of sun, it’s ReneSola, our Chinese solar panel manufacturer that is the main protagonist, finishing down a hefty 14.75 pence (11.5%) on the day after releasing it’s first quarter results. Nothing too startling amongst them and I notice Renesola’s New Yo...

Day 17 – Portfolio Value £5,017 Up £74 On The...On a lacklustre Friday, when the FTSE finished down 14 points, our little green-based portfolio made modest gains. Low Carbon Accelerator, Climate Exchange and Clipper Windpower all made gains of between 2% and 4%, whilst our portfolio heavyweight, Renesola did little on modest volume finishing down 0.25 pence. ...

Day 16 – Portfolio Value £4,927 Up £21 On The...Now lets be up front here, Tuesday and Wedneday were bad days! Our portfolio haemorrhaged capital value (between you and I we dropped a casual £693.43) but I put it down to a simple case of market correction. After the rollercoaster ride of the past fortnight, today we returned to an iota of normality. The FTSE finished slightly higher, as did our portfolio, £20.68 to the good. Across the board...

Day 13 – Portfolio Value £5,485 Up £215 On Th...Another mixed day today when you look at the arrows but the performers in our little green portfolio more than compensated for the sliders. Our latest acquisition, Clipper Windpower powered ahead again finishing up 19.5 pence at £1.45. Not bad when you consider we bought it three short days ago for £1.0450. To date it’s appreciated over 38%. ReneSola continued it’s good run finishing...

Day 9 – Portfolio Value £4,421 Up £123 On The...Despite my earlier skepticism, ReneSola made further gains today finishing up another 5.5p and adding another £130.74 to our portfolio. The strong gains made so far this week were no doubt partly spurred on by Tuesday’s RNS that stated: “SHANGHAI, May 5 (Reuters) – China is set to smash its target for a roll-out of solar power by 2020 more than fivefold and possibly even tenfold...

Day 8 – Portfolio Value £4,298 Up £416 On The...Despite 2 of our shares finishing lower on the day, the financial sun shone on ReneSola and its monocrystalline wafers, coming in at a whopping 18 pence per share gain on the day (that’s 15.62%). If I were a betting man, I’d short it for the day tomorrow as there’s bound to be a little profit taking, let’s just sit tight and see. Being ReneSola I know one thing for sure, it...
