Hi All
Thought I'd share my good news with you on. My portfolio for this year has went up 9% i.e. £690. I had 7K invested over 5 funds
7 Funds
Invesco Perpertual High * 2 - Up
Jupiter Russia * 1 - Up
Jupiter China * 1 - Well Up
European Property Down
MG Recovery Fund * 1 - Up
China risky but might just leave it, European Property Fund performed consistently poor but will also let it sit another while

Congrats!
My own portfolio is currently sitting at about £150 growth on £7k since I started it in early August. Considering the correction a few weeks back, I think the growth I've seen in that time is also something to be quite happy about!I am a Chartered Financial Planner

Well I have put all my investments into Threadneedle China and Gartmore China Opps (but actually both invest mainly in Hong Kong not China) and am getting rises generally better than 5% per week. Only last night alone the market went up by about 3%. :beer: :j

Hong Kong is not as risky as China and many commentators have predicted there is good chance the Hong Kong market will have healthy rises for the forseeable future but i am keeping a careful eye on things.0 -
I think most people are probably already aware that you're a China speculator, and most will probably already have mentioned back that while they're ok with some exposure to China, they don't want to put all their eggs in one basket.Well I have put all my investments into Threadneedle China and Gartmore China Opps (but actually both invest mainly in Hong Kong not China) and am getting rises generally better than 5% per week.

Just noticed that my India chunk of my portfolio has been outpeforming your china chunk (and my china chunk) over the last 4 weeks.

Oh the folly of following investments like this over the short term

I quite enjoy following my portfolio, but I don't get too worried by temporary surges or declines in value. I'm confident that in the long run I'll get pretty goof performance out of my money by leaving it alone, but I also have a morbid fascination with the daily movementsJust noticed that my India chunk of my portfolio has been outpeforming your china chunk (and my china chunk) over the last 4 weeks.

I am not advocating that others do the same as me. But at present China returns are mindblowing. I have a healthy rainy day cash buffer and I am closely keeping in touch with short term and long term trends. I am poised to switch out of China at any time.0 -
