I sold Plus 500 on January 4th at £11.61. Not my best trade ever, it briefly hit £20 in August - but then finished the year at £13.70. I made no other trades during the year.
My results for the year were, in various currencies:
- In GBP up 5%. FTSE 100 was down ~8% after taking dividends into account.
- In USD down 1%. S&P 500 was down ~4%.
- In NOK up 2%. OBX was down ~2%.
Not too bad. But if I'd sold Plus 500 at it's peak I would have done twice as well in GBP terms.
At the end of the year Berkshire Hathaway is over 81% of my share portfolio, the rest in Natwest Preference Shares. I don't have any plans to sell either of those. I have money on the sidelines that I may invest if anything catches my eye as being particularly cheap and attractive.
