Another strong day for my portfolio.  Having finished +8.2% in the month of September, just 3 days into October I'm 2.4% up.  These figures include new money added to my biggest asset allocation:  cash.

My other allocations of silver stock (+4.39% today) and gold miners (+1.30% today) combined to enable my portfolio to romp over the line.

Are you saying you just got paid? 

The +2.5% growth of my portfolio this month excludes cash which I will be spending for my bills/living for the month of October.

Since when does a cash allocation only have to be money accrued up to a certain date in the past?  How old does the cash have to be?

Do you not see why people might doubt the financial nouse you boast of when the performance of your portfolio is seemingly dependent on new money being added to it?

I have £1,000. Now I am  adding another new money £1,000, The value of my investment is  now £2,000. So I am up 100%.

I made 6.6% in September, excluding new money.  I expect to be challenging my ATH by the end of 2022.

No, you didn’t and no, you don’t.

Is there a website which states how much a UK company has sold for?

A whole company? Being taken private you mean?

A small (start up-type) company sold to a bigger investor.

Crunchbase. Not sure how much info you can get from it without paying though

You could try the buying company's next accounts in case they disclose it in the annual report, although they're not obliged to (if they're not publicly listed).

There's also the FAME database - a subscription costs a lot of money but I don't know if you might be able to get a free trial for a one off job.

Well, my son's new S&S LISA has just been opened, and he's deposited £3,000.  His infinite growth to date this year trumps your measly 100%.

I can't beat infinite growth - well done son! We should all go home.

Also, what happened to your frequent FTSE updates Type_45? How's it looking today?

Unfortunately you've all overlooked something - eventually you'll have to take the money out of the account, even if that's on death, at which point your return plummets to a total 100% loss. Which means Type_45 was right all along, a complete stockmarket wipeout is inevitable.
