Late today because I was out at a Discovery Metals presentation and then went to see Showstoppers at The Kings Head (go see it, it's fun).

Highlights from my Portfolio:

A rollercoaster of a day. I went from up to down to back up again.

Alterian (LON:ALN) announced we will see results 3rd November. I wait!

Carclo (LON:CAR) holds its ground.

Close Enhanced Comm Fund (LON:CED)2 is due to pay back 2x the percentage increase of a basket of commodities in 2013. It's a nice idea but CED (it's elder brother) suffered a setback when one of the issuers of debt securites (and Iceland bank) went bust. That reduced the payout. Anyway, I picked it up at 88p and have been very patiently waiting for the basket to recover. The basket contains:

brent
Aluminium
Copper
Nickel
Zinc
Corn
Sugar
Wheat

Whooopppeeeee doooooo.

Firestone Diamonds (LON:FDI) is a serial disappointer but the deal with Kopane Diamond (LON:KDD) has gone through and the price looked ripe to go up. My buy was against most of my chart signals e.g. the chart is screaming 'avoid' but FDI is more a news driven stock and I decided to buy the possibility that this is the right moment to be long. I'll be out sharpish if I'm wrong.

Kryso Resources (LON:KYS) dipped a little ahead of the BFS. Deep breathing required to stay calm.....surely after all this time it will be good news. I wait.

Minco (LON:MIO) makes people laugh. Zinc in Ireland they say with raised eyebrow. Well yes. And today's RNS suggests they are growing their resource. I bought at 3.25p in the recent placing and am holding tight. A recent broker note sums it up:

Medusa Mining (LON:MML) stormed up and went XD. Lovely.

Ortac Resources (LON:OTC)…
