Day 90 – Portfolio Value £7,690 Up £244 On The Day

Now that’s the way I like to start a week, an ocean of blue arrows pointing to the sky, followed by some chunky figures behind ‘em.

Leading our list of winners on the day was China Biodiesel which finished north 1.12 pence (12.3%) at 10.12 pence. A month ago you could pick up China Biodiesel for 5 pence, there’s been an upswing in volume especially in the last week and it seems biodiesel is back on the agenda in China at least. This from GreenMomentum.com:

The administration of energy in China is finalizing plans to increase production and promotion of biodiesel, including requiring a new 5% biodiesel mix. The new measure is being considered for next year in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Lloyds Bank had a strong day finishing at 83.33 pence, up 5.34 pence (6.85%) on the back of a Nomura upgrade to buy from reduce.

West China Cement added a further 6.83% today, continuing it’s meteoric month – we bought WCC.L at £1.70 less than two weeks ago and it’s now trading at £2.60. May have to look seriously at some re-shuffling of funds as I see a huge potential upside to West China Cement in the coming months.

Other winners (from our portfolio) on the day included Eros International, Clipper Windpower, Ceramic Fuel Cells and Low Carbon Accelerator.

Thanks again for dropping by.

Purchase – China Biodiesel (a little bit more)

So we’ve gone and upped our stake in China Biodiesel after making 55% gains (from 6.6 pence to 10.25 pence) since our small, test purchase this time last week. I call it a test purchase, but in reality I just lacked the cojones to have a real punt.

Anyway, I digress. We sold out of Climate Exchange and smacked the total consideration (£687.50) into China Biodiesel, purchasing a further 6,832 shares at 10.0630 pence a share.

Ahhhhhh, Chinese AIM shares, how I love your stupid volatility.

Sale – Climate Exchange

So we offloaded our parcel of Climate Exchange today. Since we began our Investor Trader experiment Climate Exchange has risen from £7.00 to £9.15, a 30.7% rise in 3 and a half months. Not too shabby in anyone’s books. A lot of that in the past 4 weeks based on a little healthy takeover speculation.

Now nothing has changed since, but the upward momentum seems to have peaked and I’d expect Climate Exchange to retract a little if there’s no news in the coming weeks.

We sold 78 units at £9.10425 for a total consideration of £710.13. And what did we do with the cash? We pumped it straight into China Biodiesel.

Purchase – China Biodiesel

So this buy ain’t gonna break the bank. Yesterday we lashed out and bought, wait for it, 1,960 shares of China Biodiesel at 6.6 pence a share, for a total outlay of £129.36. I think it’s the smallest single tranche of shares I’ve ever purchased.

But it’s not about the total outlay, it’s about the selling price and when these babies rocket to a quid each, I’ll be pocketing a cool 2K. Okay, so slightly over-optimistic? Sure, but as I mentioned when I added China Biodiesel to the Investor Trader Radar, maybe there is cause for a little optimism with CBI.L after bottoming out at 2 pence. Time will tell.
